i've been on this forum for nearly 6yrs, married to a filipina for nearly 10yrs, the number of people that have come and gone in those 6yrs, must be 100's that i know got married and got a settlement visa, i know of only a small number (less than 10) where the marriage ended for what ever reason, of course not everyone will come on here and post about their marriage ending, but 1/3 of marriages in the UK ends in divorce, i'm sure those married to a Filipina's have just a successful marriage than those marred to British women .
