I am Rob, I am normally the one who is flying in, this time Im the one doing the meet and greet, I guess youre right Rob this trip is a bit special, since I have always flown to the Phils to see Gina, that is 8 times, now this the first time she is flying back to me, so I am the one who stands in the greeters area, except we are allowed inside, so yeah I guess I am excited, you know how it is Rob, it will be nice to have her back, all the guys on this forum know how crappy it is to be living without your honey, so Im sure everyone at this forum knows how happy I am.

Anyway when I go and collect her, it kind of says " Look it really does happen" they do get their visa's and they do come to UK, it just seems to take so long for all of us, you remember that Don't you Rob, John is going through this right now, AndyPaul, deepete, one or two others, all have been going through this, and my best mate in Scotland, I remember when his lady came to Glasgow, the guy was the airport at 10.00am when her flight was due in at 1pm, talk about keen, and I will tell you all something else, no one deserved that day more than he did, her visa took 2 years and lots of visits to get her here, I never knew anyone who pesevered and had faith like Steve did, every time he took a knock from the Embassy, he fought back, because his wife had children in the Philippines there were issues about that to be sorted, but n ow the family is all together and happy, now he says it seems like a blip, and we all know it is, but when I go down there, its not just for me, its for every guy out there who goes through allt he s**t we have to go through, its a funny thing, I realized that its being in a family, we all seem to have the same problems, thats why we are on this forum, and we get a good feeling when we see this forum has helped other people like us, since my website went listing No 1 to 3 on Google, with a little help from Win2Win Racing (thanks Keith) and also from Expat Hong Kong, and Google Listings, my traffic has doubled.

Ive had 25 unique visitors today alone, that tells a story, there are lots of people out there who need our help, I had one person hail me on Yahoo last night, Ben our new member, spent about 45 minutes answering his questions, Ive had e mails from a guy in Hampshire in last 2 days, same sort of questions, has not been to the philippines, needs help with flights to Tacloban, told him Rob is our expert on Leyte, so he will be in touch with Rob no doubt, with the increases in e mails, chat sessions, and unique page views, it proves that this forum is invaluable, all of you who contribute are doing a great job, giving your opinions, those guys who have just been out to the Philippines like Eljohno, you are the life blood of this forum since you are keeping us on the ball as regards new changes that we might not find out about.

Those guys who are shortly to apply for UK Entry Clearance, I know some of you are, you will be able to relate those experiences so that the forum can be altered, my website can be changed to accomodate new information, lets no be like those who come here and get their girls visa, then we never see them again, if you take out of the forum, come and put some back in, so as I have said, Im happy to go and pick up my wife, but also, its a symbol of success, that says " Yep its all worthwhile, they make it to the UK" it just takes time, I know my wife is very supportive of my work on this forum and takes a keen interest in it, there is no better forum in the Whole world than FilipinoUK, the Asawa forum is ok, but it doesnt have the UK Flavour that ours does, anyway, I will settle down cos tomorrows the day, best wishes to all.

Im Happy for you Pete, Like you say so well it is tough to be away from your Mahal. But once you are together it means so much

We have all faced battles and strugles, im sure the majority of us have thought why are we doing this at some point. But then you think of your Mahal and it all seems worth while.

Thats why i am happy to try and help by sharing our experiences, as i found others both here and other sites were most helpful when we went though the Visa process.

Now my Wife has got her self a Job im hoping to post a little article on the things we have had to do once in the UK. I did think about the future but i guess i didn't want to think to far ahead.

When i started looking around for such info i found it very thin on the ground as Pete said most couples seem to disapear from such boards.

Hope you both have a safe journey back from Heathrow and im sure your both have a Happy Weekend

[ginapeterb]

Thank you Andypaul for that nice post, Im sure we will have a nice weekend,
thanks guys for the support I always get, it makes all the difference in the world.

I've been with my little Filipina just over ten years now, married for five of those, but I still like to give advice on related issues if and when I can. I've recently gleaned useful info off this very forum for getting a UK visa for the mother in law, and also given back on our experiences with the embassy etc, so, what goes around, comes around
