ok -

me and the missus plan to get married in the philippines about 1 year from now, and it will be wonderful

im reading now about the requirements for a settlement visa - - - and it all seems fine

ok

a question

i am planning of leaving my job and going self-employed! it will be a pretty safe income (And higher)!

Only one problem . . .
how do i go about convincing the E.C.O. or whoever about my ability to be financially independant without recourse to public funds?

I won't have 3 years' accounts!
i won't even have 1!

so what should i do???

thanks

tom
