You can pass your nationality even if you are not legally married since 1st July 2006.

Hi Jim..

Thanks for the update. I married my wife in the Phils back in 1986, and the kids are now in 20, 18 and 16.. With a solid relationship for 20 plus years, and my work taking us to the USA, Europe, and the Middle East. We still had a hard time with the ***holes at the British Embassy in Manila. Some absolute ****head of a woman insisting that we "demostrate a sustainable" relationship...

I was at the time working for a British multinational in the Philippines, and a member of the British Chamber of Commerce.

Eventually I asked for another advisor to review my wifes case. From that moment on things went well. We came back to the UK in 2005.

I guess the point here is, just how absolutely **itty some of the people at the embassy can be, and just how dauniting the visa process can be.
