Cannot wait to go back....

Hello my name is Keith Smith and I come from Cardiff in Wales, UK. I developed an incredible liking for the Philippines and the amazing Filipino people when I first visited the country back in April 2013. I was visiting my Filipino Aunt and my three cousins in Angeles City, Pampanga. Having not seen my aunt and cousins for some years and the passing of her husband - my uncle, a visit was well overdue. Now at the time of writing this (November 2014) I have visited on three occasions and due to fly back at the end of this month.

My girlfriend Marife Leopoldo comes from Bohol but now currently in Cavite and I love her beyond words and her lovely sweet daughter Mariel. We have many trips planned for my return and I cannot wait to be with her again. This will be my second meeting with her but we speak on Skype every day.

I came across this site and wanted to join in order to speak to fellow members and share help and advise about getting your spouse back to the UK and visa information. At present I have a few trips to the Philippines on the cards but I know Marife would like to visit the UK so this is something I would like to arrange with her for the middle to end of next year possibly.

I would like to finish with the following -

Your Buko shakes are awesome..... and the food is amazing..! Jollibee - very nice indeed but why have we not got one in the UK yet??

I just love the Philippines so much.

Take care all

Keith.

Hello Keith and good sir.

If you have any questions regarding the visa process just drop a line and someone will help you out I'm sure.

Good to hear you love the Philippines and the Filipina as much as we do here at British Filipino.

One or two boys here too from your neck of the woods

Good luck

Thank you Timmers - appreciate your help.

to BF Keith! Wish you good luck with your visa application and have a safe journey

Thank you all for your comments.

I know that reaction. It's unusual for foreigners in the Philippines to absolutely love Jollibee. Unless the ones with sweet teeth

The chicken is nice but more than one piece and not so much rice

Hi Keith,
Search this site for how to get a spousal visa.
The first step is to get married.
I was married in Phils and it was great.
There are financial considerations to bring your wife to the UK.
This is a good place to start: http://www.british-filipino.com/ind...r-a-partner-spouse-visa-under-new-rules.5740/

Thanks Aposhark - I will check out that link. Do you still get to visit the Philippines often?
