hi gretandy

the very next thing to do after your marriage is first you make an application for Limited Leave to Remain in the UK..after you get it go to the website of Philippine Embassy in London and download for an application form for ammendment of your passport as well as registration of your marriage here...

Hope this will help...

hi gretandy, there are filipinas around cardiff and there's also an association of the filipino community so if you're interested to be part of them, IM me and tell you more details of it.We live in Barry Island, perhaps you've visited the place.

Hi there,

after about 23 months of being in the uk you need to apply for " further leave to remain" which will cost you about £375. This is not optional...

hi gretandy

in order for you to remain here after your wedding you have to apply for Limited Leave to Remain...that visa is good for 2yrs and towards the end of your 2yrs you will then have to apply for ILR...

best wishes on ur wedding.......
