Not an expert on getting tourist visas but at the moment its most likely far easier to vist your lady friend in phill again before both of you contemplate trying to let her vist the UK.
1 Like others say unless the paperwork looks sweet and that she is not a risk that she may dissapear it maybe refused. This will have cost you both in time and money.
2 I presume you will pay for her to apply for the Visa and flight over? We all think we know everyone in our lifes like pete hints at its a big risk. Would you lend a woman you have just met in the UK enough to buy a car?
Best to get to know one another via chat, phone, letter and in person when possible.
Whatever you decide welcome to the site and i hope you enjoy your stay here on the fil uk
