Like you I get married in just over 3 weeks to my GF who is also a Filipina.
At present she is on a student Visa and can only work 10hrs a week and full time during school holidays.
After we are married thats when the issue with UKBA new rules start,
I am Unemployed and only recieve benefits and my HB and CT are paid for me I live on very little money and although we scrimped and save for the marriage its still hard on us.
She is a amazing lady whom I love very much and the thought of losing her is driving me over the edge,
We were discussing the situation this morning and may after go down the Student Route again even after marriage with her taking a Level 7 Post Graduate degree which is a 2yr course but that alone costs £3,200 a year and if she applies to extend her student visa which runs out in January 2013. The new Visa will state no work allowed so it will be impossible for her to work to fulfill this obligation to a new school unless its cash-in-hand work and as she is a Carer maybe able to find private work but no guarantees.
This new Ruling is taking away our basic human right to a family life our right to fall in love and our right to happiness, Article 8 of the Human Rights act is something that people should look into because no goverment can take away our right to Family life unless we have committed a crime then they take away our liberty.
I will go ahead as planned with my wedding because I dont want to lose her but if the goverment tell me I have to give up my right to live here with her and I should go live in Philippines I will fight them to my dying breath. I have a right as a British Citizen to be allowed to love and be loved and no goverment in Britain as the right to deprive me of that.
So Theresa May bring it on I will fight to the death to show this bunch of Hypocrites in Whitehall that as in Philippines People Power will prevail.
