Its difficult to add anything to what has already been said. However, one piece of advice i would give is DO NOT USE AN AGENCY IN THE PHILIPPINES TO HELP YOU. Your future wife may be tempted when they offer to help as they speak the same language but please be warned, these agencies are next to useless and just take your money for doing nothing. All the information and support you need you will find on here. I used a philippines agency at my cost and thats how i know!
Good luck and welcome to the forum.
