I have a 16 year old Pinay fiancee. This is a serious relationship and we are currently spending 3 months living together in the Philippines. The rules state a fiancee must be 18 years old to be granted a settlement visa, but in fact both the Home Office and British Embassy in Manila have said go ahead with an application. Is there any chance they will grant this application or do they just want the 26,000 php? I would welcome any help from those who have similar experiences or know how to ensure a successful application. Many thanks. Wade
