My friends situation, they were not living together, they met while he was on holiday in Singapore 5 years ago and started a relationship. (for the first few years he would go over to phil to visit, her and her son. (from her marriage), she then started to get visit visa for the Uk for 6 months at a time., (sometimes granted sometimes refused)Originally Posted by joebloggs
SHe then fell pregnant with his child last year, (while on one of her visits to the UK), she went back to Phil to have the baby and thats when they starrted the spouse visa route. as she is still married but like others on here they are finding it extremely difficult if not near impossible to get the annulment, this was there only option to live together.
I will have to find out all the details as it can be done without physically living together. (as thy didn't).
After she has been in the UK for 1 year she can apply for the divorce, yes this isnt recognised in Phil, but they are not worried about that, they jsut want to be married and have the chance to live together now, as Peter says you can always push the annulment after the divorce in the UK.
My mate isnt rich, but he does have a stable job and rented house etc.
Will find out more of the details from him and pass it on, maybe he found a small loophole in these situations.
