i dont know shandylove's story--but if--for example--its one of coming over here to marry someone where only a short philipines visit-to-meet was involved--then maybe a long distance relationship by internet or texts---then that is a very brave step to take.

my lady and i have already lived together--in my house--here in the UK--while she was still on a student visa.

we hope she can get a general visit visa so we can see each other again--& hopefully develope or relationship. i know i will have to support her financially.

then --if all goes well--a further visa as a fiancee/partner-to be. i still will have to support her till FLR is granted.

only time will tell--the last thing i want is for her to end up trapped in a situation she finds wrong.
