hi I'm new to all this, can anyone help me?I've been seeing this girl for some months now and don't want to lose her,
she has 2 kids back home and is divorced
she has a 2 year study visa (1 year to go)
id just like to know how do we stand legaly if she was to stay with me?
any help would be great.
Hello, andto the filipino/uk forum.
Basically, I cannot see anything legally preventing this girl living with you for the duration of her stay here as a student.
However, bear in mind, she will need to return to the Philippines on completion of her studies, in order to be eligible to apply for either a Fiancee or Spousal Visa ... should the two of you eventually decide to marry.
not true Arthur, it should be possible to marry on a student visa, without needing to leave the UK.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
Ah ...... I must've been under the impression that was only possible on a work permit. Student Visas, I've never really been sure of
- but didn't think they were convertible.
no, but until recently you needed a COA (cert of approval) from the Home Office before you could marry, which you dont any more..Ah ...
I thought it was the Visit visa that were not allowed to marry in the UK and must go back to their country?
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!
stay with you ?? you mean live with you while she still on her student visa ? she must still attend college or the college should report her for not attending.
i take it your British ? if so and she is divorced and is free to marry, you could marry before her student visa expires and apply for FLR(M) so she wouldn't need to leave the UK.
if your asking about getting her kids here once your married, then that depends on her having sole custody and 'sole responsibility' for them.
If she was married to a pinoy in the philippines then i would want to see the divorce papers
divorce is possible in the philippines but it is expensive and takes years
a lot of them just split up and never get divorced legally so it does need further investigation
if she is still legally married then beware
once the pinoy husband finds out that she is dating a "kanu" then he will come after you for money for sure
one of my friends was locked up in a police cell for many months in manila
his only crime was that he had entered into a relationship with a married woman and the husband objected and reported him to the police
Divorce per se is NOT recognised in the Philippines
'his only crime' ???
If he committed Adultery in the Philippines...
add to that stupidity and an inability to keep it in his trousers....and wear a condom...as in this case:

Of course my friend only found out that she was still married when he was arrested
She had told my friend that she had been divorced years ago
Many guys can fall for this if they dont ask for any proof

A place for everything, everything in its place.
...And so endeth the umpteenth lesson.
I think some guys would welcome some information about getting involved with a married filipina in the philippines...And so endeth the umpteenth lesson.
obviously you do not
I am sorry that you feel the need to continue with this mindless point scoring exercise
Nope...just tired of your endless one-trick pony lectures, and general bull in a china shop rudeness and arrogance towards other board members and their partners.
It's not what you say, it's how you say it...no matter how sound the advice might be.
Don't bother applying to the Diplomatic Corp.
I don't need to score points, but I will defend the right of others not to have their happiness tainted by nasty remarks from the likes of you.
As I said before to you, all are adults on here.
Advice is always welcome, but enough of the slurs on Filipinas and their prospective or existing partners please.
You dont defend anyone you just jump on my posts with mindless commentsNope...just tired of your endless one-trick pony lectures, and general bull in a china shop rudeness and arrogance towards other board members and their partners.

you just cant take anything negative said about your "sweetheart" filipinas
well time to come into the real world and from what i have seen a lot of them are far from perfect
of course you would have us believe differently
When do you appoint yourself as spokesman for this forum anyway?
... YOU seem to be doing [or trying to do] a pretty good job of that
yourself!
Not at all, my views are the opposite of most on this site
Your soul aim throughout all your posts seems to portray Filipinas in a negative way. If your not bad mouthing the women your bad mouthing their families. The majority of people here cannot identify with your portrayal of a relationship with a Filipina. We all appear to be perfectly happy in our relationships and fairly content with our lives unlike you who appear to be totally pre occupied with protecting your nearly paid for house and your hard earned cash. We cannot identify with your story at all because its quite apparent in your relationships you and your attitude is the problem and not the women. Unfortunately I am not a moderator here because I would of banished you some time ago as your sole purpose is to annoy people.You dont defend anyone you just jump on my posts with mindless comments

Sorry to inform you but these things do happen
how often thou ?
how many people do you know that married a filipina and are still married. and how many were scammed ? or are no longer married ??
I have not said they (Filipinas) are good or bad...or called them "sweethearts" in your patronising way.
'Mindless', eh ? How original.
I haven't appointed myself as a spokesman, in fact you will find that I've probably responded to your 'beware of the evil Filipinas' posts less than anyone else, mainly because I'd rather not feed trolls....because that is what you are rapidly becoming.
Yes, it's true that if you enter into a relationship with a married woman in Phils, then you are potentially in a great deal of trouble - and I THINK I read once that this also applies to living with a local woman if you're not married, but I could be wrong.
BUT this thread is about a guy who has met a lady in the UK. The UK police aren't going to come drag him off to Wormwood Scrubs for living over the brush (In fact if she's a stunner, they might give him a pat on the back and congratulate him)
Same as if you pinch a car here, you might get a slap on the wrist, do the same in Saudi, and.....
On the other note, it might indeed be a good idea to be absolutely sure she is indeed divorced, since it's not exactly easy in Phils. Surely though she would have to prove this before you got married over here - or does she! I obviously have never had experience of this (thank flip
Hi,
I hope my comment here will be helpful.
A friend of mine who I went to uni back in Cebu came here on a student visa, she met a bloke and they got married. Of course she was single and no children so that was of no worries.
If you think she's the one, get to know her better. Ask her if she is legally annulled to her ex-husband because it can be a pain and expensive process to get annulment I gathered.
It is important that you two are happy.
Cheers!
Life as we make it
well he dont know me , and i am very happy, married and in love, i am not sure of the word scammed, but i am sure i have the best deal in what i have,
Apparently, it's not impossible to change from a student visa to another visa ( like a spouse)....
BUT that's if he is still single. In this instance she doesn't need to leave the UK...the switch ca be done while she is here..
You say she's divorced?? well as you should know "divorce" isn't a thing that happens in the philippines, it's annulment...be sure of her true status.
Sorry, I hope I make sense. I've had a few rows tonight with my GF, and I've been out to a friends on the sauce
