Is there a time limit?

Hi again well for me I met her in June I am going again in October for another 2 weeks and then plan to marry In July 2013 but meet her in June and apply for visa when I arrive home do you think that this would be ok to show that we have made efforts? I would have used nearly all my leave up by then. I call her morning & evening every day accept when we skype, and send her money gifts and we mail each other and email each other to, and have family support both sides.
Any advise here?

John, the UKBA have now published their official requirements for this.
Please take a look at the links below and you'll then know as much as anyone.

I'm 100% certain you'll be OK, I know you'll be able comply. Why? because you are both a genuine couple.
The ECO's now have clarity for their decision making and it's not just discretion and what they feel, but according to the guidelines.

Here are the relevant UKBA webpages:-
