Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
WOW!
Can some of you guys try actually try supporting Pumpkin here!. Some of you are so negative and judgemental...straight away "aromulus" jumps to the conclusion that Pumpkins hubby may "dump" her so to be careful ect as his first marriage to a Filipina ended so soon (less thn 2 years)...but why do you assume the failure of this marriage was down to him?, who is to say he was not the victim?, maybe his ex used him purely for a visa as sadly these cases do still sometimes exist...good & bad everywhere so easy to assume the Brit guy is the villain divorcing so soon his poor Filipina wife but the fact is it may well be the other way around...would some of you think and react the same way if the ex-wife was British??...it seems strange to me that a fair few guys on here are on 2nd marriage having been married-divorced to a British woman previously and this is ok, no need to set those alarm bells ringing ect and yet this guy just cause his ex is Filipina and marriage broke down so soon well...some of you seemed to have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5!!...further more Pumpkin already states that the ex had another guy and so would seem to have cheated and left her hubby for her lover so what should the guy do? stay legally married to her just because the marriage is less than 2 years old??...if he has since gone on to meet Pumpkin and find happiness whilst his divorce is going through then good luck to him..."Tawi" and i know these threads are often the source of humour & jest but your comment of Pumpkins hubby changing his wife more often than his socks is at best insensitive & crass...how does that make Pumpkin feel reading that about her hubby??...shame on you...again i refer back to points made above...if his ex cheated and left him then what was he to do?, would you make such remarks if the guys ex was British and the marriage had lasted say 5 years??...would he then be "changing wives like he changes socks" ??...having a joke is one thing but posting such comments for Pumpkin to read is thoughtless and could be hurtful...maybe some of you need to think a little before you rush to post...well done Lady J for a more balanced response!...good luck to you and your hubby Pumpkin, as long as you have done everything in the correct manner and legally as it appears you have then you should have no problems...just be honest within your application and supply as much evidence as possible to ECO and god willing within a few months you will be together!.
There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.
Do you think my comment was crass Stuart?If that was the case it wasnt really originally the intention and I would apologise,but,and theres always a but isnt there?Her husbands Ex wife had another guy,how do we know?Because "He" said so,ok thats cool,and he was obviously madly in love with her right because he went out and got married within a short space of time once again to a pinayTheres black,theres white,and there are dozens of shades of grey in between,none of us know the true story except the guy and his ex,but experience is a good teacher,travel broadens the mind so they say,I have met several multiple pinay marriage guys,I am not a psychologist,I can hazzard guesses,but not saying thats pertinent to this particular case just throwing pebbles into the pond,the waters not always clear

what i've said is my opinion, and with his previous marriage not lasting long at all, how long did it last ? the embassy i think will ask her to attend an interview, maybe i'm wrong
but as always good luck from me![]()
There's seems a complication in your situation
I am replying to your post as I don't like you to come into the UK with a complicated situation about the EX-WIFE nightmaremaybe you will be granted a visa but your status still questionable
I can relate to some and I am trying to be strong to my situation here in UK because of the help of my beloved fil-uk members here.
ALL I CAN SAY YOU ARE STILL LUCKY YOU ARE IN THE PHILIPPINES suffering those worries and aware with such complication that may affect your status with your husband. You have your family there to guide you and support you to keep you strong. Let your husband ask advice from a solicitor here in UK if the papers he got are all GENUINE AND ACCEPTED IN UK LAW before you applied the visa.
Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
hi stuartpauldavis and pumpkin,
i understand where you are coming from and i am just speaking for myself and for my experience alone. if i made pumpkin felt that i am being judgemental then i apologise. but reiterating my question i have asked her the reason why the marriage ended as it has a big impact on applications not because of his nationality but it's bcos of the duration of the relationship i.e. marriage. you have to bear in mind that for pumpkin to be able to satisfy the requirements in coming to the uk on a spouse visa following will have to be satisfied: (taken from ukvisas.gov.uk site)
1. you are legally married to each other or are in a civil partnership recognised in the UK
2. your husband, wife or civil partner is present and settled in the UK (see the next section)
3. you both intend to live together permanently as husband and wife or as civil partners
you also have to bear in mind that eco's are like you and me, i.e. HUMAN, they see your application like how we see it the only difference is they do this as their living. applications are not scored by machines they are evaluated based on their judgement, etc. i trully hope pumpkin you succeed on your application and good luck you will be needing it not because of your situation but rules and guidance is getting stricter and stricter everyday.
"Success is not about how much money you have; it's about the choices you can make in life"
thanks to you stuartpauldavis..all what u said are on my mind too but am filipina and i try to construct english here so i could'nt say it..again thanks for you
as for tawi,my husband and i share everything our past just before we met and we exchanged each other passwords for email,the email that he use for work , friends family and even banks, we have not even met yet but we trust each other so much.. he let me to read his emails, the emails that he sent to a friend ,solicitor for divorce ,family the stories are the same about his ex-wife fooled her big time...
how could you be with your wife if she tells you "divorce me because i will keep being unfaithful to you" and then pack her things..she did that just after my husband dad died..
anyway, this is enough story now coz there are many..
for you guys who replied to my post thanks for your time..i accept good or bad comments here because i know guys you dont know the real story... but i was hoping we just share ideas here not to judge people..
i believe in my husband i love him so much
you have to look at it from the embassy's point of view, he got married, it didn't last long, you've still not said how long they lived together as a married couple, and within the 2yrs of his ex-wife's visa, he's divorced and married again. I'm not judging or blaming anyone because i don't know the reasons or care to know, i'm just looking at the facts..
but i'm sure you will get your visa, not many spouse visa's are refused, and if it was you probably would win any appeal
good luck thou![]()
they lived together as married couple for 9 months...and after 5 months my husband and i start chatting ..it also same month when he got they divorced..
thanks for you joebloggs
CRITICIZING OTHERS IS A DANGEROUS THING, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU MAY MAKE MISTAKES ABOUT THEM, BUT BECAUSE YOU MAY BE REVEALING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.
pumpkinsbabykins
well you and your husband will have to decide whether you're going to explain about this in his letter of support or say nothing,
either way, as long as you have evidence its a genuine relationship and its not a marriage of convenience you should get your visa
so gather as much evidence AS possible

Hi! just good to hear some of your opinion too ... Well, they only give of what they think inside of their mind it is not mean a judgemental as I can say that we don't know the whole story so what ever the advice either negative or positive just take on it and learn something on it.. i know Pumpkin know the right things of what she did or she is the one to have a right decision of her life with her hubby we just give the posibelities or some things to think what next .. anyway, wish you luck Pumpkin and just always pray that all be fine with you and your Hubby .. nothing to worry about if it is your life to be with him soon .. trust and understand each other will be the best thing you can do and yes, trials are there but keep strong in life as it is life to go on

after reading the replys you have kindly made, i want to make things more clear..my husband and I were leagally married in the phil after getting his certificate of no impediment from his local registry office after waiting 22 days and with divorce papers in hand we married..it was his ex-wife that left him not the other way around as some thought, again my fault i failed to explain correctly..sorry!...and i will spare you the horrible sad details but, the divorce was granted under the 'unreasonal behavior' banner and i will add it was uncontested..and as for my husband being a 'serial bigamist' his last marriage lasted 25yrs...he was taken for a ride, an expensive ride by a gold digging fillipina and her family, shame on them..my husband is a good hard working God fearing man who would hurt no one..and we are lucky where he can come here for long periods as well as being in constant contact 24/7...it was not his fault his last wife was satan..life is a test..its not all plane sailing....and do you know what, he regrets nothing becoz without the past he would not of found me..it's all God's wishes...those here what judged, let me ask you something...how would you feel after your wife told you that she wants a divorce becoz she intends to be unfaithful to you and then you go to your parents and unwittingly burden them with your heartache not realizing that no matter how old you are you will always be a child in there eyes and in course pass on your heartache to them then the following week your dad dies of a heart attack!!..the same day she empties your joint bank account and trashes your house!!, you tooo would feel bitter and hard done by at the time...my husband and i are only being careful very careful with our application because its a lot of money to loose so we are doing everything correct..he knows what he is doing with it and i too are following the adivce on the official visa web sites...i just posed this question in case there was others on here who have gone through our same experiences..again thank you for all your replys...
