Hello I am new here just joined because it seems a mine field of data and forms etc to get my head around to actually marry.

Hello there songz (John), a warm welcome here to the forum.
I'm sure you'll discover a gold-mine of information to help.

Make no mistake, there are plenty of hoops you need to jump through whenever you strike up a relationship with someone from another country.
It's important to realise and understand that.
Maybe it's already too late for you

Have you yet decided this relationship is worth a face to face meeting on the other side of the world?

Step by step is the key if you've only just begun. Plenty of time to consider the details of marriage and visa's.
The longer you stay the clearer everything becomes.

Take care.

Hi and welcome to the forum

I wouldn't worry about forms and paperwork yet if you've only just started a friendship. I'f you've not been over there yet, my advice is to get yourself out there as soon as funds permit and meet her and her family, see her environment, how she is at home and see the country before you even consider any form filling. I've been back and forth many times in the last 2 years and still no nearer filling any forms in

Aahh you'll get caught again Mr. Englishman.

[grahamw48]

Hi John, and welcome to the forum from me too.

It may be a long road (literally) to travel, but hopefully you'll find it life-changing and well worthwhile in the end.

I'm currently in about the same situation as yourself, although I do have some 'previous'.

[Englishman2010]

Aahh you'll get caught again Mr. Englishman.

It wasn't me, honestly

[songz777]

Hi guys, good advise from you all looks like I made the right choice to join up.
Yes Its a long way off yet, my first port of call is to really become established friends, emailing lots every day, and chatting on video / audio skype ... then I guess if we are still going strong and stronger in 6 months .. I would have to think about visiting and seeing her for real and her folks and well gives me time to learn tagalog as well, as I will need that to help me! Thanks again, chaps I will be here more often now.
take care John

[songz777]

Hi chaps thanks very much for all your good advise; I think I will get to know her for 6 months and if we are still strong and stronger by then I will arrange to go and visit her as a holiday for me.
Take care really appreciate your input.

John

Again thanks for the warm welcome as I traed the long road of building a friendship up from a far away land ...

Take heart, and remember love conquers all and will always save the day. Remember also that you'll never know unless you love.

You may agree or you may not agree.
As for me?

I agree.

Thanks again my dear new friends I am very grateful to you all. At the moment I am just getting to know a lady from Davao province. Next step is to begin to learn Tagalog which I am doing, and if we are still strong in a few months time, then I will have to plan a 10 day holiday and visit her, then we shall both really know if there is something special to happen. Having feelings by skype, photos and video chats and texts may be very sweet, but real life must say "you need to meet" before you can really be in love. Thanks ervyone very much. john

[Dedworth]

Good luck you sound a sensible fella with a "don't run before you've learned to walk" attitude

Have a laugh reading this - another John who back in July was "hoping to find someone with a view to marrying around December time"

I found it sufficient to learn how to buy a packet of fags and a (case or two of) beer. Don't break a sweat over it.

No offence intended John, but maybe you should learn a little Bisaya as she is from Davao and that's where you will eventually visit?
Just an idea.
Especially for the parents.

She lives in Cagayan de Oro City far north coast of that province, she says they have a local dialog but for now I will try to grasp Tagalog before local lingo
