There is plenty of advice on this and other websites about how best to bring your Filipino girlfriend into the UK, and what papers etc are required. BUT ......

My problem is that I have started a relationship with a Filipino girl who is already here in the UK. She entered with a valid visa and a work permit. We are planning to get married here in the UK, but she is worried because she believes she may be deported back to the Philipinnes (her Filipino friends here in the UK warned her of this). Do I have grounds to be worried? Or, more to the point, does she?

Her children are still in the Philippines, and she is supporting them financially from here in the UK.

So, I guess we can't just pop down to the local Town Hall and tie the knot like most folks?

Any advice would be most welcome.
