Hi, my name is Neil, from Birmmingham, UK, i have recently travelled to the Phillipines & like most of you guys, met a nice girl, we are emailing ,writing, etc, her english is very good, so what is the best way forward for her to visit the UK? I can sponsor her, pay for her airline ticket, obviously state that she will not work , claim benefits etc, i can provide her return date of a airline ticket, i have heard many horror stories about visa refusal, due to my work load, i cannot afford the time off, but would pay for her to come to visit the UK, which would be a easier option for me, also spend more time with her as she can get granted maybe 6 months, so my questions are,
A/ Is it better to apply for a visitor visa & i sponsor her
B/ just let her apply for a visitor visa
C/ apply for a Fiancee visa
D/ or let her apply for a visotor visa with the view she is visiting a family member ( cousin etc) which can be put together as a friend of mine is married to a Filipina.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
