Filipinos marrying foreigners to flee poverty
Folks, have a look at this article. apologies if you aleady have seen it.
Filipinos marrying foreigners to flee poverty
http://www.asianpacificpost.com/port...overty.do.html
"The year 2006 also had historic record-high numbers for spouses going to the United States (10,190), Japan (8,601), Canada (988), and the United Kingdom (619). The increase for Japan alone is 2,279 spouses from 2005 figures (6,322)."
619? that is less than 2 a day processed by the embassy, yet they take weeks to process marriage visas. Is winter the quiet period? I wonder what the figure was in 2007?
Cheers
