    Maybe that is the way to go, that way we get time to prove we are a couple which should make her fiance visa easier

    It is the way to go you're right, you will soon find out if she is the girl for you, if she isn't you can always make a polite excuse and put her on a flight back home :)

    Welcome to the forum. You can't marry her in any country until you have met at least once, you can't "bring her here" on a visa of any sort unless you have met at least once and frankly it's very foolish to be considering buying property and marrying when you've never met. I feel that's extremely unwise. I suggest that you get on a plane and go meet this person or prepare to be stung.

    Good luck fella. You've had plenty of advice to date so won't add to it. Will just sat this one thing. As soon as you get a chance to go there to the Phils. take it and enjoy.

    if this were not a British Filipino but a British Pakistani forum, and there was some guy on it saying hey can I bring this girl I call 'my fiance' over from my grandma's village in Pakistan and marry her when I've never met her, don't know her, wouldn't even recognise her if she passed me by in the street, don't even know for total certain if she's even a woman, nobody here would give them time of day even for a second. Somebody would be on the phone to UKIP asking to speak to Nigel Farage and it would be plastered all over the Daily Mail in a 'people trafficking' type story in minutes.

    Thank you for that completely unnecessary and unhelpful observation, Whippy.

    "we have been video skype for 3 months now."

    look mate. Just because you have been chatting to her on videocam means nothing at all. You just don't know her. You wouldn't recognise her and identify her for sure, like you would with somebody that you actually knew, if she passed you by on a busy London street. And yet your refer to her as your 'fiance'? Do you not realise what a ridiculous situation you have got yourself in?

    so--to recap--youre currently unable to visit and meet in the philippines--so that means she has to be the one to visit you. so you need advice on how to achieve that ?

    She will have to apply for a visitor visa but it's not a formality. She would have to prove compelling reasons to return to the Phils. These include such items as a full time job, aa business, owning property or having minor children in schools. It would be a lot easier and simpler to visit. I Once visited the Phils for a long weekend. There is no one that can not find even a long weekend to visit for business reasons. Easter is coming up. Yoil could visit from good Friday to easter Monday. That's what I would do.

    Definitely. He's even putting little clues in himself, such as writing the words "My Way" with a capital letter at the beginning. Quite amusing actually.
