Yeah the answer you have been given is correct. In your case it would be better to marry abroad (Philippines or Thailand) and go for EEA family permit. There is a couple of advantages - no fee (as is on spousal or fiancee visa) and shorter processing times (take a look at this http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/...timescustomers). As your boyfriend is citizen of Hungary, HE IS citizen of member country of EEA so you can apply under EEA family permit. Hope it is of help to you...
