A few questions

[walesrob]

Ok, look we're all getting a bit off track here.

This is how I see the situation, and please forgive my ignorance.

You have only seen her online via chat, text message or email, you haven't met her yet, yet she is already talking about her fathers house being re-possessed and how SHE needs to earn the money to pay for it. Which is fair enough - many Filipina's work abroad and send money home for their family - the BBC reckoned there is as many as 8 million.

BUT, what surprises me is that she is telling you this NOW. Filipina's by nature are very shy; they won't tell you stuff like this until you meet them at least. Its not in their culture to reveal their deepest thoughts or fears to complete strangers unless she knows them well - I'm sure female members of this forum will confirm this.

You may think we're being harsh on you, but we've all been there, done it, and believe me when I say, you really should meet her first before you decide anything, and apart from that, you will need evidence built up for any visa. You may get more replies to this thread, if so, take note of what they are saying and don't dismiss it out of hand because it doesn't suit you. People on this forum are only trying to help you, we're not judging you.

Good luck.

People here were trying to help you, we are not being judgemental, I think you're queries has been answered by our friends here, just listen because they are more experienced with regards to this matter. Your girl's novel is not unusual at all in this online chat business thing, maybe this is your first time to have encounter this and you got hooked easily by this pity copy and phase scripted making stories. But yes, unfortunately this is true, some of this filipina are doing this for the sake of money, telling lies and pretending of how they crawl in mud and their house was on fire, and thier cousin got bitten by snake, and they couldn't finished their studies because their parents are on debt. Imagine how intelligent they are to come all of this stupidity, and how it affect to the rest of us filipinas. Shame.
So, shes telling you of how she needs £7000 to save their house. She didn't asked but it seems that shes been hinting you that she desperately need it. But what if that you are not the only person that shes been telling with this the same old rotten stories online, maybe she's got one from america, germany, etc? whos next?
If you really want to get her and see hows Englands like, go visit and know her better. At least you can tell yourself of how genuine she is, and get her a suitable visa.

Goodluck mate
