Your problem is quite complicated.
You should seek an advice from immigration solicitor or Citizen Advice Bureau.

Not an expert, I only try to help.
Life is difficult enough without having to make it harder for oneself....
We cannot help who we fall in love with, but it seems that the more the baggage carried by the intended partner, the more attracted one is.....
Why....???
With this one I suspect a bit of a scam, to be able to stay in the UK.
Only my opinion.
And in the immortal words of Clint Eastwood in one of his Harry Callahan movies.....
"Opinions are like holes, everybody has got one, and some of 'em stink".....
she really is not scamming me we are very close. she has been honest with me at every point.
the best option is that she doesn't leave the uk, like you said b4 move her in with you, and start collecting evidence that you both live together, and like i said b4 you might be able to apply for a unmarried partner visa, student visa and then maybe even get married here, it depends on how long the divorce takes, how long she can stay here for, HO might tell her to leave b4 her visa expires..
will seek legal advice please dont judge us we really care about each other she is not just using me as she has the oppertunity to stay with husband but has chosen to be with me as we love each other. i know her very well and she is not the kinda of person to use someone. and yes she is a transexual but i dont care we love each other
i have only known her for 3 months now but its been very intense but i know i shouldnt rush in im just looking for advice on what are options are. we really love each other but just looking to see what the legal options are for are situation.
i just would like some legal advice from people who have been in the same situation ie trying to get a visa with someone who is already in the country and if it could be ossible anyone who has had experience with trying to get a visa with someone is married it shouldnt come into it that we are seen by law as the the same sex as the uk immigration does not see it that way
another bit of advice i need is we cant get married in the philipines so how will this effect things
Good luck to you both,i am sure we do not judge, love is love
he/she then she/he
is transexual is a man that became a woman? or still a man just dressed like a woman?
anyway, i think your case is very new on this forum that mostly they dealt with people with opposite sex. I hope somehow people here manage to give you a bit of help you need. All the best
You're on a very diificult situation. If I were you you will seek a legal advice in IAS.
Should the title not be " My boyfriend is already married"
hi sorry bout ur setuation wish u find a good advice here coz lots of them r good in advicing,in my case i dont know aabout ur setuations i never heard like urs.goodluck to both of u.
As far as I am aware, you cannot be married, or treated as a married couple, in the UK. However, UK law now allows a 'Civil Partnership' to be formed between two same-sex persons. Also, as far as I'm aware, the British Immigration laws treat civil partnerships in exactly the same way as marriages.
Good Morning Britain and Magandang Umaga sa lahat !
I always say this, if you are on this forum long enough you do get to see everything !
I have followed this story with keen interest, cos in truth, its the first time I have heard of it, so it tickled me, and I wanted to put my contribution in, so what is this story, let me see if I have the facts correct, anyone please correct me if I have got it wrong.
1. A Bakla who is a Filipina Citizen, meets a British guy, they cannot marry as a heterosexual couple in the Philippines, one assumes because the he/she is not recognized by the Philippine authorities as a she.
2. So they marry in Vietnam, where the rules are relaxed about such issues, then the she gets a visa, to come to UK on a 2 year spouse.
3. She arrives,on a 2 year visa, but its only a short period into that visa, and the marriage is ending, due to the British husband's abuse or domestic abuse.
4. She meets a.n. other British man in London, and falls in love, they want to start a relationship, and the she now wants a UK Divorce.
I think thats what the story is.
In my view, if the person concerned is a true transexual, then the British Embassy in Hanoi, must have accepted this for spouse visa purposes, so in UK law she is a woman, and been accepted as such.
If she is here on a 24 month visa, and wishes to obtain a UK divorce, the marriage took place in Vietnam, it would be recognized here in UK, but as a Filipino citizen, clearly it was not considered appropriate there in the PHilippines.
If she wishes to obtain a divorce I am pretty sure she may do so, however, a subsequent divorce would invalidate any further attempts to remain in UK, technically if there is a divorce within the 24 month period, the person must return back to country of origin, however thats unlikely to be chased up, although the marriage visa is for 24 months, if the subject returns back to the Philippines, she would have to re-apply to come to UK with the new partner.
Now that might present some problems in one of proving to an ECO that the relationship is genuine, if the British Embassy in Hanoi has approved the marriage visa, then obviously this person has satisfied them that she is a woman in all intents and purposes.
Its a matter of what this person is seen as in the laws of the country where she or he applies as is the case.
This is an extremely complicated case as others have said, she could of course overstay in the UK, that would give at least until 2010 and beyond, if he/she does go back and try and do things legally, I think the chances of a re-issue of a same sex relationship visa might run into problems, since a marriage visa has already been issued.
I would not run the risk, if you really want to stay with this person and you love them so much, leave things as they are, overstaying whilst not condoned, might be your only option, anyway it seems to me, youre a long way off from that at present, if your partner does seek a divorce under UK Law, that is a separate issue from immigration matters.
Best of Luck, hope it works for you.

Philippines marriage, Courtships, UK Entry Clearance
i'm so confused right now, who tgirl, who the girl who the english guy
so HE is not a SHE and he is married to an english guy and now he is going out with you.
ok sounds clear now to me ....
thanks for the advice ginapeterb im not sure if they were married in the vietnam or if it was a civil partnership but that should effect things as the the uk goverment see both as the same what i realy need advice on is would they ever reissue a marriage or fiance visa again too someone who has allready had one. someone said they would as they treat every relashionship onits one merits but some people say we would have trouble.
also could she apply for a student visa from within the uk
where is the best place to go for legal advice
