I was thinking in the past about getting a visit visa for my fiance so she can see what it's like here.
As Terpe says it's all on the applicant proving beyond reasonable doubt that they have sufficient ties that they will return at the end of the visa period.
Because you are married it makes it difficult.
I guess try and show as much evidence to show she will return to the Phils.
I'm going down the spouse visa route now.
