I don't know according which law you got married to this lady. If you had married her according to the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969 your case would be entertained by the Indian Embassy for her immigration visa on the basis of your marriage with her. This Act is specially enacted for marriage between Indians with foreigners outside India , the stay period required for such marriage is at least one month from the date of giving notice of one month & the marriage is solemnized after expery of this one month notice period all this is clearly provided in the Act itself so no question of one year stay out there & all such marriages are solemnized by the marriage officer (an official of the Indian Embassy in any other country) , it is registered & a valid certificate is issued which is applicable any where in the world for any purpose including the immigration & citizenship etc. The best thing now what you can do is to get this marriage registered under this Act in Philippines, in the Indian Embassy there & get the certificate of the marriage, on the basis of which she can apply for her immigration to India.
