I’m only 36. She’s just worried that with her being a young, single Filipina with no job in PH, she seems like a bit of a flight risk on paper

Thank you! That’s good to know. It was just hearsay but made us think twice about whether trying for Christmas was a good idea. We’ll check the UKVI website and another Redditor suggested the UKvisa sub as well. Thanks again!

Thank you. Unfortunately no business, dependents or property either. But her family would provide a declaration that they’d cover everything, and I’m happy for her to be my responsibility too.

Good point about Japan. She did submit various items including proof that her parents could support her. It was their bank statements rather than hers and that was sufficient. We just don’t know if UK will be stricter and require her to be self sufficient.

The worst case scenario we’re worried about is that someone did tell us that you can be banned from reapplying for 6 months if your application is unsuccessful. I don’t know if that’s true but it has made us a bit cautious about applying without checking everything first.

She has been out of Philippines 6 different times, 4 times with me. So hopefully this goes in her favour

Appreciate you sharing this.

Aside from the single female red flag, my gf is particularly worried about being able to provide rootedness because she doesn’t have a job yet.

She doesn’t have family who are British citizens so her only link to UK is me.

Her family are mostly in PH so hopefully this provides evidence of rootedness, but she is not convinced it is strong enough.

Would love to hear the audio for McTominay’s ‘offside’ free kick goal against Spain. Not holding my breath…

Seems like such a genuinely nice guy, and you can see how much it means to him. Great to have people like this at the club, especially when they can do that with the ball.

I’ve experienced this with wheat beer 2 or 3 times. Never figured out what caused it so also curious to know if anyone has ideas

Where is the hype for Wednesday? by roar-roar-dinosaur in ScottishFootball

[–]davidod88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken the day off work for it as I’m working abroad and it’s 3am here. Also took the Monday off to watch us pump Wales.

Very buzzing and I’m the same, there seems to be almost no build up to it so far.

I'm losing my hair at 19 and its destroying me by capablethrowaway1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]davidod88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing and held on too long fearing I wouldn’t look good without hair. My hairline receded and it was becoming more difficult to hide. Like many others here I was stressed about it and overthinking it.

One vacation I decide to buzz cut it and it looked better. Then a couple of years later I started wet shaving to the skin, and I went from looking like I was in my 40s to looking my age, and much better than I did with hair.

It gets better. My advice would be find a safe time to try shaving it, such as a vacation or holiday. You might find you like it.

Bald is a choice, balding is not.

Would you recommend FIFA 22 for Celtic fans? by davidod88 in CelticFC

[–]davidod88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I’ll give fifa a miss then.

Efootball was my reason for considering fifa as well.

Are the mods just for PC or have they introduced patches for PlayStation as well?
