Visitor Visa Documents

[Arthur Little]

Hi.
Been lurking here looking for some advice for a while but thought i would ask to try and get a better answer.
I have just come back from the Philippines and met up with a lovely girl who i have been talking to online while i was there. We would like her to come over here on a visitor visa first so she can meet my family and get used to the country a bit before we try and go much further ...

........... ... makes perfect sense ... theoretically!

... so any advice people have would be appreciated.

Alas - as you'll have already gathered (based on two of our members' recent experiences) - obtaining a Visitor Visa isn't, in practice, quite so straightforward as it might, at first, seem ... despite each of the applicant's honourable intentions. Likewise, of course, you will, by now, have discovered the MAIN reason(s) as to WHY this's so.

But not ALL applicants are unsuccessful. And (who knows? ) your g/f may possibly even be among the lucky ones.

So ... ... for about a tenth of the cost of a Settlement Visa, it could well be worthwhile "taking the bull by the horns"!!
