JB,
Just something that might encourage you if you're still considering proceeding with the Visitor Visa. Mel and I bumped into a Filipina and her bf here this morning, and she is here as a Visitor (been here one week). He told me they had no problems at all getting the visa, and was surprised when I registered a little astonishment... The only hassle they had was that UK Imigration gave him a grilling on the phone just before she arrived in Manchester [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]. What I've learned about their situation so far is that he is still married (divorce pending), she is from Davao, has 2 kids in Phil, and they met while she was working in Bahrain but she returned to live in Davao again.
Maybe even ECOs have a streak of humanity [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
