Many thanks Sars for the information ... and apologies for not acknowledging your post for such a long time ... I've been just a little busy preparing for my visit in a weeks time! Time is running out now for us to be able to marry during our visit, so marrying over here a little later this year is the most likely thing to happen. My visit will no doubt help with the fiancée visa application though. With the weather here refusing to acknowledge that it's supposed to be spring, our bodies could be in for a bit of a shock when we get to Cebu!
