get a job, most of us have had to, i worked with a young lad, he worked 9 to 5 for minimum pay, at 6pm he went sorting parcels out 4 nights a week til 9pm, not to bring his wife to the UK but so he could afford to pay over £3,500 a year for car insurance as he was only 20, if he's willing to do what it takes to drive car, what would you do for your wife ?
already married - possible unmarried partner visa if you go and live with her for 2yrs - or she comes here on a student visa, but then you have to be careful of adultery laws in the phils.
or go the EU way
giving up is the easy option.
