Visit Visa

[Terpe]

See here for Visa processing times in the Philippines

The major key for granting visit visa is convincing the ECO that the applicant has no immigrant intentions and that reasons to return home outweigh any reasons to stay.
If the ECO believes that, then usually financials and other requirements will also be believed.

The ECO has complete discretion on the decision. Scope for appeals is extremely limited.

Good luck

Thankyou, I know the financial side is ok but your right, it is all about proving that she will go home.
Even though i have stated that will both travel back to Philippines when her stay is over, i know that is just not enough. It is so hard to prove that anybody would go back. Even if she had a job say in a bank there, the salary is still so low that a bar job here would pay more.
I hope at best they grant the visa and if they need to they can question her or us both when we arrive in London
