My girlfriend is allready married

[aley]

Hello everyone

My names aley and i have a problem. In novemebr i met the most wonderful girl in london she is the the grl of my dreams the pronlem is she is a philipino national but is married to a English guy and is here on a two year marriage visa but is going through a divorce with her husband. my question is what will happen when this divorce goes through will her visa be anolled even if she has time left on it and what is the deal with us getting married and her applying for a marraige visa again. also i dont know if this is a factor or not but she is a tgirl this shouldnt effect anything but i thought i better get all the facts.

Any information would be usefull thank you aley

Hi!

You got a serious situation here may sound harsh but I hope she will not just marry you so she can extend her stay in UK since her first marriage failed. What is the reason anyway if u dont mind my asking.

I reckon it depends on the reason of divorce, if its domestic abuse she might be able to stay otherwise she didnt meet the 2yr requirement she will be asked to go back to Philippines. Other forum members might know more about this.

Im sure you can marry her if she finalizes her divorce & go back to Phil and start all over again with the visa and stuff but of course it might take longer since her first marriage didnt work out.

hope that helps.

how long does she have left on her spouse visa ?

if she is getting divorced then she cannot apply for ILR, so she will have to leave the UK when and if she is told to be the HO or before her spouse visa expires, unless she has time and is able to apply for another type of visa eg student visa

She'll have to go back and apply for a fiancee visa with you once the divorce is complete.

This isn't that bad, as you get a holiday in the Phil....land of Brownie midgets

[aley]

they are getting divorced because she simply doesnt love him anymore and they do not get on he still wants to stay married so i dont think its a case of her using me

[aley]

he has been abusive too her in the past im not saying he is a wife beater but has hit her once i believe and thier arguments can get heated

[aley]

her visa is till december 2010

[aley]

how long do we have to be in the philipines for plus we can not get married in the philipines

[joebloggs]

her visa is till december 2010

so she's only been here less than 6 months..

where is she living now, with her husband ?

[aley]

yeah she is living with her husband at the moment but we were thinking of getting a place

[Mrs.JMajor]

yeah she is living with her husband at the moment but we were thinking of getting a place

Don't get me wrong,or maybe because the love has gone to her hubby ,because she saw you hmmm

cant imagine the fact gaining all documents,keep saying hard to be apart in a matter of 6 months the love has gone so quick,arrrgghh

[aley]

she came here too divorce him

[Mrs.JMajor]

where did they get married ?

[aley]

in vietnam as they couldnt marry in the philipnes, i am not worried that my gf is using me as we are very close im worried about what the best way we can be togeather is.

[Mrs.JMajor]

in vietnam as they couldnt marry in the philipnes, i am not worried that my gf is using me as we are very close im worried about what the best way we can be togeather is.

Absolutely she isn't using you the mere fact that shes married to English guy,i was just telling you that maybe that is the reason why the love has gone because her heart is with you now,so i should good luck you

[joebloggs]

yeah she is living with her husband at the moment but we were thinking of getting a place

might be a good idea to do that asap, get her to contact any companies, nhs,docs, gov, bank to change from her old address to your address, and register her with other companies at your address and collect as much evidence of this as possible from now til her visa expires.

you might be able to apply for a Unmarried Partners Visa for her, but you need 2yrs evidence of living together, you've got less than 2yrs thou, but might be possible to apply for a visa here to keep her here for a bit longer (student), or if you could go and live with her in the phils for a month or so ?? to get 2yrs worth of evidence.

not easy to get, but go and contact your local law centre or ias http://www.iasuk.org/ who can advice you better than me.

why could they not marry in the phils ??

[aley]

thanks Mrs.JMajor

was wondering has anyone got any advice on what the legal rules are about firstly if she gets divored can she stay until her visa runs out or will it be anolled

secondly will the fact she has been married to a uk national before effect us getting a visa again and what kinda of visa can we apply for. can we get married in the uk or do we have to go to vietnam because we can not get married in the philipines. i have so many questions lol

[aley]

lol they couldnt marry in the phils because it was classed as a same sex marriage lol she is a tgirl hope that doesnt offend u

[Mrs.JMajor]

lol they couldnt marry in the phils because it was classed as a same sex marriage lol she is a tgirl hope that doesnt offend u

[aley]

no im a english guy she is a tgirl as in a transexual she is married to a english guy who she is divorcing they got married under british law in vietnan as the philipines does not allow same sex marriage of its nationals inside the philipines.

[aley]

thanks misscarie but has anyone got anylegal advice/experinces with this kinda situation where your girlfriend is already married but is getting a divorce.

was wondering has anyone got any advice on what the legal rules are about firstly if she gets divored can she stay until her visa runs out or will it be anolled

secondly will the fact she has been married to a uk national before effect us getting a visa again and what kinda of visa can we apply for. can we get married in the uk or do we have to go to vietnam because we can not get married in the philipines. i have so many questions lol

[joebloggs]

I've told you already, i think she will have to leave before her visa expires dec 2010, or sooner if the home office tell her to

i don't think the divorce will effect what i've just said, her marriage is over so she will have to find another type of visa to stay here on, or leave when the ho tell her to or b4 her visa expires, which ever comes first, her spouse visa is not valid if their marriage is over .

it will not help that she has been married b4, and the marriage didn't last long, so you will need lots of strong evidence.

you can get married here, but that depends on where she will be and when that will be, and then that will determine what visa she can apply for,
either a unmarried partner visa or civil partner visa..

[aley]

ok i understand that but say she goes back to the philipines then i go out their and we marry in vietnam how long do i have to live their for

[KeithD]
