Hi Gracy

Salamat for meeting Anilyn and not biting Will hopefully meet you and Trev one day

Hi Mark

Gracy is correct, but it can be sooner, Anilyn got her Visitor Visa in an incredible 1 day, it was returned imediately and we both feared the worst, but it was approved and I got a return flight almost as fast

I provide letter of invite, letter from my boss saying how long i have worked there and salary, wage slips, 6 months bank statements, my passport including my immigration stamped pages, flight ticket and hotel reservations for me to visit her in the Philippines, photos, e-mails, telephone bills, virtualy the same as with the Fiancee Visa that we made and was approved taking 10 weeks. I guess the Visitor Visa will take longer than 1 day now though because of backlogs of applications when they made the switch to Biometric Data and other changes, but your special one should be able to attend the celebration

While here in UK I travelled with Anilyn to lots of different places and took photos and DVD movie which I also provided to the Embassy for our Fiancee Visa.

Basically go the whole mile with the proof and then run a bit further till you cannot prove your relationship any more than you have and you will have no problems

Be truthful of your intentions and purpose if visit and all will be well

One last thing, Gracy is also correct, Passports only take a short time to process, unlike here in the UK Anilyn only just had 6 months on her passport when making the Visitor Visa, so I suggested that she gets it updated to ensure that no matter how long it takes to approve she will have a full passport when the day comes for approval

Good Luck

Paul
