immigration lawyer

[Pepe n Pilar]

Hi all,
Went to see an immigration lawyer,came out 45 mins later and £175 poorer lol Anyway the story is my girlfriend from the philippines was abandoned by her husband three years ago and he will not play ball for an annulment,hence the visit to a lawyer,who told me dont worry go for a legal separation then we can apply to the secretary of state for a visa for her to come to the UK under "Extenuating Circumstances" Just wonder if any of you guys have heard of this,because its a new one on me.Look forward to any replies,thanks John.

HI Jonnijon,
This is new... If she will file for a legal separation then can she get a "Certificate of No Impediment" from the National Statistics Office? which is a requirement inorder to get married?... Who issue this "Extenuating Circumstances" paper the UK or the Philippines? Thanks....
