just pulled out of relationship in phillippines on advise of the annulment could be costly so i search uk for fillipino lady any suggestions or clubs /or churchs where i can attend in dorset
I can advise as long as you're honest and open enough to tell the new lady that you pulled out of a relationship because the last one was too expensive
You obviously didn't think much of the Filipina you were in a relationship with if you pulled out because the annulment is a costly and lengthy process, I don't think any future Filipinas you get involved with would like to hear that.
If you love someone you will wait no matter what, I waited eight years almost before we were together. An annulment in the Philippines is more lengthy than expensive, I know from my own experience. And when I say lengthy it only took 6 - 9 months if I remember rightly. I asked her to get an annulment way before we planned on her coming to the UK.
So, in reality, you pulled out of the relationship because you didn't love her. Otherwise the annulment wouldn't have stood in your way.
make no mistake--an annulment is an expensive extra. but then--its only a part of the total immigration / settlement cost. dont expect any change out of ten grand for the whole cost--at todays prices.
I was planning on starting a thread on the cost of bringing your loved one to the UK but I've just lost track of how much it has cost me so far. I know I've spent at least sixty grand on air travel but totally lost track of everything connected to the visa. People should give a lot of thought to the cost as it could easily mount up to sums you cannot handle.
Well, that might be why the chap pulled out.....everything and with the anullment on top. Maybe it was a few bob too far for the chap?
Brian. Good move. Divorce or as they call them euphemistically in Philippines, Annulment, can not only be costly but long and drawn out. It can also be used as an excuse to extract money from foolish guys. I met my wife on the internet, she was not previously marred and did not have any children (just lots and lots of relatives !! ). That was 8 yeas ago. No regrets. We live in Spain so no big fees for her to come here. Excluding the air fares it was 30 euros for the visa Good luck with your search.
SIXTY GRAND my god man do you always fly first class? I've been there 25 times in the last 10 years (I keep count ) and my flights add up to just less than 20 grand, and about 10 or 12 of those flights were business class, although 5 were upgrades and some others were bought using miles or were standard tickets upgraded with miles.
Expensive job this Filipina business, a few weeks ago whilst perusing the visa paperwork we saw that I had been to see her 37 times in seven or so years, I thought it was around thirty. If I'd travelled business class with Emirates which is my preferred airline it would have cost a fortune, I have travelled business class when the deals are on. If you added the hotels I have stopped in and spending money then the cost wouldn't bear thinking about. All worth it now though, life is just fine, even though I've been working away from home most of the time since the loved ones arrival I know she is there waiting for when I get home
Still are you sure 60 grand just on flights? I would have thought closer to 37 grand for 37 flights, there were a lot of cheap deals 7 years ago? What I've spent does not bear thinking about either but I've rarely stayed in hotels, we have rented our own place since very early on.
