hi i am bangerboy, from stevenage -hertfordshire

we have a super hospital here cost £600 million --we have over 200 filipino families in the town .there are 6 familys 2 minutes walk from my house --now i tried 5 years to get my wife and son here--he was just 3 months old when i left as my visa ran out --on 13th september he be 5 years old

Welcome to the forum and don't give up!

thank you friend , its our sons 5th birthday september 13th every birthday his little face is so sad -but in next few days they should get there new 4g phone --i am on free skype --and viber free calls & video calls -can talk free for hours --so this old 67 year old will sing --happy birthday crying my eyes out --his little face smiling break my heart ??

I know, Skype is great, but you will find on here a way to call Philippines mobiles for free too. I am 64 btw and got married in March.

did you read earlier my wife ruby before we married said you need to get a certificate of no impediment ?? and my solicitor said ??haha no you don't --just take your dead wife's birth certificate --death certificate & wedding certificate so i flew in ?? and he said --where is your certificate of no impediment --my wife is realy brainy & always right ??haha ( and had her --certificate of no impediment in her hand ??haha)so i stayed 6 weeks then flew 6,000 miles back for a bit of paper ??-this is why our son was born on 13th september 2010 but we married october 2010 --the last laugh was an official noticed this and said --this makes your son a --bastard ?--in my strong cockney voice i said --''thanks mate that proves his mine ?? i'me from tottenham -north london and i'me a bastard as well ,

What exactly have you tried in the last five years?

Welcome bangerboy. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be separated from your boy like that. Good luck in sorting something out in the future so that you can all be together.

I was lucky to have the joy of bringing up my half-Filipino son, who is now 21 and born in the UK, but yet to hold the other one, born last Tuesday in the Phils. Just a couple of weeks to wait though. (Oh, and I'm 64 next month, so hardly a spring chicken ).

its a long crazy story but although my little wife is just 4'-11'' tall she is from -maripipi-biliran -leyte? and has a short fuse ???haha its best to run ??haha she stopped talking for 10 months --but we been ok for 6 months --right i took out to get her and son here --3 x £2,000 loans to keep in bank to show i had the money ? then being a clever cockney ??i thought i will get a good van so i can do some london disco's as i am a top specialist i do --theme nights --and good money --but it takes two to carry & set up ?so i employed a man who could also drive -BUT ?? he & his wife where junkie's (i told ruby on phone & she went mad & said dump him today !!!he rip you off --)i said how can he i get the money ?--then the insurance was due and his wife does --online banking so i gave her the just ??£39 -80 to pay the insurance -2 weeks later the police stopped me --no insurance --he had stolen the £39-80-i lost my £3,500 van it was crushed --and i lost my driving licence for 6 months --( its lucky hahaha there is 6,000 miles between me and ruby i am ex boxer but she beat me ??haha )the banks then put it up to £3,500 each so i went to help people called--step change and they payed them just £1 a month each hahaha-now i got a year with it frozen -the banks now willing to take just £1,200 each --so i cant have money in bank for ruby and kheiru --sorry about long story its all true --i am willing to give my mobile number any one wants to talk

I'm now confused so how will your wife and son be able to come to the UK then as you will need around 60k in a bank for six months or be earning over 16k per year as a requirement for the visas

has your boy got a British passport?

That would be the priority for me..and at least not dependent upon how much money one has got.

i need to get my son a duel passport as we have all paperwork from his birth & are you saying that a retired person is forbidden to marry a filipino girl & have kids ? the government here is starting something they wont win -in stevenage our council let 23 ponds dry out and disepear (cant spell haha)-i took them on they now order'd to make 23 ponds for the people ??--they are attacking the filipino people -every other race comes in without --english language course & test --every filipino is tought english as a kid my son is 4 3/4 but he is learning -i was retired at 60? as my stomoch & bowl were removed 30 years ago -so as from this moment i will promise this government & the EU ??will know my name --let this war begin --as a top dj and events organizer i can always go to philippines & drive them crazy haha -if there are any other events organizers and dj's on here say hi please we need to get together --i only do big events --no small stuff ( i apolagise ??haha for not being able to spell if you hear my strong cockney accent i cant speak ''english '' either so what hope has the filipino wife and son xxxxxxxxxxx

My wife is from Biliran too, Kawayan municipality to be exact.

BTW, if you have disability benefits you are exempt from the usual income rules on your wife's visa application.

my wife was born on the island of --maripipi -biliran ??at aged 6 she was like a monkey going up the trees for coconuts ??and with 7 brothers she learnt to fight like a boy ??haha-now they are all around 6'-5'' to 6'-8'' and when she gets annoyed we all race out the door go to the basketball court --i was retired at 60 as i was disabled 20 years then ? now 7 years later i still have a blue disabled badge --it cant be --pretended as i have completly removed my large intestines and bowl ? but i look super fit on the outside --i am desperate to get them here but now owe the £10,000 --BUT they all 3 banks said there willing to take a one off payment of --£1,300 i told them my filipino auntie ??hahaha-said make it a clear £1,000 each and write an official letter to say its completly cleared all debts --then i pay them off --i have till about febuary ??--its crazy but i am very scared at all this stuff on google about a mega disaster due on september 23rd ??does every one on here know about this --as if i am going to die i want to be with my wife and son sat down cuddling ??

What do you hope to gain with membership of this forum, @bangerboy?

a mega disaster due on september 23rd

aah--do you mean armageddon is due any day soon again ?

Only for 67-year olds!

hi howard ,you asked what do i hope to gain --well i did not know any other people before who have married filipino girls and had no one to talk to thats english ?i meet filipino's here daily and so feel closer to my wife and son -it makes me feel closer to my wife and son to know that all of you on here have your filipino partners with you here and i have been very depressed for at least 2 years since loosing my van & going into debt ??i thought thats it there gone forever ?but straight away i got help and encouragement to fight again to bring them here --i am so very greatful for your help and the other people who have helped me --and the other question was about googles non stop disaster things on september 23rd -it depresses me --when my wife & son are 6,000 miles away & i cant protect them as a husband and father

@bangerboy If you are on disability benefits I can give you some pointers on how to get your wife and son here. I am disabled myself and my wife applied just 3 weeks ago for a UK visa. If you are not on disability benefits you will need an income of at least £18,600, assuming your child can get a British passport, otherwise you will need an income of at least £22,400 per annum.

So, if you have any questions just ask, meanwhile I wish you the best of luck.

Hello and welcome.

I am sure that you can succeed.
