Hi Terpe
Thank you for this very valuable information

Now I looked at the financial side of this too.
I am registered disable with DLA payments with carers’ allowances as well.
I have some savings and also able to show that I can support my wife on my income without her ever needing to approach any extra from our welfare system here in the UK.

I also have my housing allowances and council tax allowances..
.
From my income I can fully support us both in a fairly decent manner; we will not want for food, shelter or to worry too much about paying our bills, emery and other household bills too, still have a reasonable quality of life style.

Which will allows us to short holiday or two each year, God willing?

And we will also still have a little of some money left over to save for a rainy day.

It took me 3 years to make up my mind and find the courage to take the plunge to catch a flight over to a country that I did not feel sure about and I went over twice this year to visit Olivia and I realise that I also love and care for her very much as she has shown me that she feels totally the same way towards me too.

On that second trip we were married at the local registry office in Digos City Hall.

Both of us have never been married before.
Olivia is 45 and I am 67;
If it pleases God?
Then I will be 68 in December of this year 2012?

Can they refuse her the visa upon these grounds, especially as I do need her help and support too?
I think I once read some time ago about a similar case such as mine?
And this I think was taken to an appeal was successful in its outcome.

Thank you with warm regards from us both Louis & Olivia
