Hi bttrrth,
Like your GF my annulment is on going and it took me over two years to finished all the trial hearing. I know its a pain to wait for long process of annulment here in the Philippines. I undertand you and your GF just wanted to be together while waiting for her to be free to marry you.
The possible solution for her at the moment is to apply for a visit visa.
Two years ago, after I filed my petition for annulment, I applied for a visitor visa, I honestly say to the British Embassy whats the purpose of my visit, that we just wanted to be together and to get to know each other more, I even mentioned in my interview that we wanted to be together while waiting for my annulment. I was granted a visitor visa and we live together for few months. I trusted my lawyer that he will do his best to speed up the process while I was away, but the sad thing was nothing happend to my annulment while I was not in the country.
I mean, unless your GF`s lawyer is really reliable its best for her to stay in the Philippines while the annulment is on going so that she can push the people in the court and to speed up the process.
I was adviced before, that idea of marrying my Fiance even I have not got my annulment decision , I did not listen to them as I did not want to violate any rules.
My Fiance told me that we will not do anything to violate the rules, as he did not want me to have a black mark Immigration records, he said that he loves me so much and he is willing to wait and that made me proud of him.
If you really love each other you will wait and will not do anything to jeopardise her future application.
Best wishes to both of you.
