Date
since then we have got married in san fernando cebu
she has to change her status on her passport then after that we plan to try for a visit visa again for her to join me here for 5 months to met other family that could not attend our wedding
i will be sponsoring her visa as will my family also will support this visa application i work full time in the mental health and social care sector
i have savings and i do support my wife the last refusal say she has not financial ties to the uk well she does now i have been sending moneygrams to my wife every month for 10.000 peso as she has no job and its not that she does not wish to work its just there is no work as i am sure if you been in the phills you will know the situation there
if i can get her here on the visit visa then on her return if she gets the visit visa i told her that she should try for a eea family permit as i hold an Irish passport as do i hold a British one cause i live in north Ireland
any advise you can give me would be a great help i am looking for friends here that really know about this stuff as my head is fried with all this
she will probably be refused again, because they will not believe she will go back before her visa expires and will become an overstayer.
