Hi Ross,
You do make a valid point about there being a lack of support generally in the UK when it comes to Fil-UK visa and immigration matters, and I'm quite sure this forum does an excellent job offering advice for free that would otherwise cost £0000's if immigration lawyers and their ilk were involved.
When I first started dating Elsa back in 2003, FilipinoUk didn't exist, and we only had the now defunct Asawa forum (Erve, Yves and Pete will remember) for immigration and visa advice, but the help I got from the forum made the whole visa application process much less hassle.
