Im now back in the UK and want me and my girlfriend to live and get married in the UK. My former wife, I have no idea where she is, but Im pretty sure as far as the Philippines ONS is concerned we are still married. I'm have all the financial documents and housing documents to sponsor my girlfriend for a UK fiancee visa. I'm tempted to just go for it and not mention my previous nightmare. But I recall getting a certificate of no impediment from the UK embassy 5 years ago. Will this still be on record there? IS the ECO likely to discover my former marriage? Has anyone heard a similar story to this? Im not even sure if the UK government recognise my philippine marriage. I would appreciate any advice. Dont really want to wait two years to get annulment in philippines and then apply for uk fiancee visa
