Mind boggled - seeking advice!

A good idea is to speak to each other on skype (if u don"t already) because and save screenshots. Skype"s good because it tells you how long a call lasts & you can post photos or msgs on there too.
My filopine neigbour here in UK had her husband"s (who"s still in phillipines) visa refused because they only spoke on mobile phones so couldn"t easily prove they communicated

Thanks for the advice. We do talk on Skype but we mainly use Viber. What's good about Viber is it allows you to save your conversations, which I have been doing since day 1 for this same reason. It will be thousands of pages to print though so not sure whether to just print a selection of it.

Just print a selection, it's what I did, around a dozen pages, none of the 50 shades of grey stuff! But stuff that shows you are committed also helps to put in a few pictures of you together at different times.

Thanks, just had a look through that. Everything should be fine I think. There are plenty of photos of us together, loads of messages to show them, me meeting her family, her meeting mine, both families will be at the wedding (apart from my mum who is too sick to travel) so I think we will be ok. The only thing that has me worried a little after reading that is the bit about money. I've just sent a large amount to her for down payment of our wedding planner and to pay the wedding venue. There will be more sizeable deposits to her account soon. I'll have to keep copies of the receipts for those things and also make a note of our conversations on Viber that confirms that these deposits were for the venue and wedding planner etc.

Choosing selections of that would be difficult. I might just print off some random ones or go through to find the most relevant etc. That's s problem for another day, but good to know I don't have to send them all, thanks.

Can anyone please confirm or deny that I need to register the marriage after the ceremony in the Philippines? Thanks.

I thought I already did that for you ?
Where else would you register it apart from the NSO?

The authorities will be automatically informing the NSO.
As I mentioned before you may want to consider having that expedited.

The only evidence of marriage needed for a UK visa is the NSO issued certificate.

I thought you were simply talking about expediting the marriage licence. Apologies if I mis-understood. So the authorities will inform NSO and there is no need for us to do it ourselves? I understand the process to be this:

Affidavit at UK embassy

Marriage licence request (there may be extra seminars required depending on province etc)

Marriage ceremony when licence received.

Have I missed a step or is this everything? Thanks.
