I think we are in a situation others have described , no savings to speak of but regular employment and secure home here in the UK ( i hope this is enough when the time comes ) , and it is heartening to read of the success of others- also i would just like to say that although i have not posted here very often i have enjoyed reading the threads and i know che-che has found the site useful too , and i hope we both can continue to learn and discuss here as the situation develops , many thanks , Calvin
Hi Calvin,
In my opinion, it is easier to get married in Phil and apply for spouse visa. You will only pay once for the visa fee and the success to grant a spouse visa is higher than fiance' visa.
If you both are secured financially, she can apply for fiance' visa and you two can get married in UK.
Goodluck to both of you.
