| | | Why don't you send her to school? She can stay at least 4 years that way... | |

BTW, City U requires students from the Philippines to have done three years of a degree course before consideration on an undergrad degree. Tougher than for other countries... | |

| | | Fair enough though given that most Philippines degrees (and I exclude here those from the handful of Unis in Manila which are international standard) are somewhere around O'level standard as far as I can tell. | |

| | | Ooops - sorry, one post above mine, and I didn't read back.
I guess "guy old enough to have multiple kids and be getting divorced, but with a 21 year old girlfriend in Hong Kong" implies the girlfriend is Filipina more often than not. But in this case clearly not. | |

| | | I appreciate everyone's input. It sounds like our hail mary in order would be to try for an extended 12 month visa, find a non profit org that will sponsor, student visa or TEFL teacher.
Anyone have leads to non profit orgs that can sponsor? extended 12 month visa guidelines and contacts? Thanks again fellas.

| | | i wouldn't hold my breath getting sponsored as an english teacher. she's very young with no experience, they will most likely turn that application down.
i'd go for the student visa. seems like the most promising.
good luck! | |

| Not necessarily the case, I know a few teachers in their late teens early twenties that are teaching in HK . | |

| | | Best Route?
Taking everything into consideration, it appears as though the best route is to find a Non Profit Organization that can sponsor her. A little income will help, but the main objective is to have the sponsorship for the visa. I have been looking online for leads -- Any suggestions?
