Do you think she would get a fiancee' Visa?

[symonh2000]

Cheers for the info mate, the only problem I have with the above is I usually call her on my pay as you go phone as it cheaper than using the BT land line.
So for that reason I don't get phone bills.. I can prove I have been topping up my phone a lot though to use. Income wise I earn about 20K a year, which i think would just about keep us until she can find work.
I am preparing to take lots of photo's, andleave the films with her to get processed as I seem to have trouble getiing my mail to her. (see other thread)

She was planning on coming here on a working visa through an agency, but apparently she has a good chance of the Visa being denied. We don't want to risk this as if she is denied then applies after 6 months to be my fiancee it looks a bit suspicious.
Thanks again
Simon.

Good Luck with the plan - go to British Embassy Manila web site for more info - also see forum member "ginapeterb" - from Pete's post you can find a link to his web site with lots of important info



Can anyone clarify if his girl comes as fiance - Can she work in UK?

Or is it only after they are married?

Simon even though your letters are not getting through when you leave them at the post office they will give you a receipt and that would be your proof that you were at least sending them. As Keith has already said keep proof of everything from even buying her gifts, flight tickets etc etc etc.

I am surprised that you say it is cheaper to phone your girl via mobile phone than BT but here is a number that will save you money. Just ring this number from your BT landline and while the recorded message starts just add your girlfriends number and i think it is about 15p a min to mobile phones in the Philippines.

08715706084

But from time to time buy phone cards for proof also, if you go to ebay you can get a £25 phone card for £15

All the best for the whole process..

For the past few years, I have been using this site for overseas calls:

http://www.telediscount.co.uk/accessnumbers.php

The numbers and rates do vary over time so check before you dial, but they have been very reliable. At the moment, calling Phil is 8p landline and 9p mobile. I used this during the preparation for Mel's interview, and it was invaluable.

Question Lang? When embassy say "Copies will do" especially divorce absolute do they mean cerified or photostated?

Yes - you just have to guess which one they will apply to you! Mel and I just submitted a photocopy and it was no problem; others have submitted a certified copy and that would be your safest bet.
