hello everyone , i will be posting on a few threads across this site to share experiences and hopefully obtain advice from others here , but first i would like to tell a little of my story , i have recently returned from the Philippines after spending a wonderful time with my new fiancee , Fretche , who is a beautiful , intelligent , funny and warm filipina - i am seeking advice on how to proceed from here and am studying the threads on fiancee visas etc very closely , i certainly would like to make the arrangements for Fretche to come here as soon as possible , anyway i am 35 , live in Sheffield , Yorkshire , am a civil servant so i have been reading Government rules and regulations but i suppose i really want to hear the real stories from filipino and western people who have been through the system themselves - hope this is a fair start and look forward to speaking to as many of you as possible , salamat , thanks
