you have the same problems as anyone who is going to apply for a general visit visa, showing you have the funds for the trip and more importantly proving you will leave before your visa expires. that's probably the main reason for refusal and sometimes its impossible to convince the embassy you will

Hi, Tim ... to the filipino/uk forum.
Had your girlfriend happened to be from Mindanao, I would've recommended the following Agency in Davao.
Century Express Phil. Inc.
Travel & Tours
Unit 2B 2/F Conpinco Bldg.,
J.P. Laurel Ave.,
Bajada,
Davao City
Tel. Nos. 222-0656 & 300-7918
Fax No.221-2672
It's possible they have another branch office in Manila. I'm not sure - but worth contacting them to find out.
Bear in mind, though, demand is likely to be high for visas to attend the London Olymics ... and there's no guarantee of such applications being successful.
However, good luck.

Just another thought....... using the Olympics as a reason to be coming to the UK will probably make the UKBA want to see evidence of your tickets. If you don't have tickets already, (bought in your name and for your GF), then I don't see it as worth mentioning.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

The visit visa process is generally straightforward, you complete an application on the UK Border Agency website, arrange an appointment at VFS Manila to submit the documents and biometrics, and take some photos.
The cavite being, as is mentioned above, the EVIDENCE! You need to provide a letter of support detailing the plans for the trip, itinerary and your relationship with your girlfriend.
You need to prove two very major points; 1) That your girlfriend has a compelling reason NOT to remain in the UK at the end of the trip, i.e. she a letter from her employer, assets in the Phils etc and 2) That sufficient funds are available to cover the trip, with full proof of these funds.
With these documents in hand, it should be very straightforward.
Good luck.

Well in the supporting letter you can comment on the evidence that your girlfriend has provided to prove she will return to the philippines and that she has enough funds, in essence you would be clarifying those points.
