"If you and your husband, wife or civil partner have been living together outside the UK for four years or more, and you meet all the necessary requirements to stay permanently in the UK, you may be granted indefinite leave to enter. These requirements include showing that you have the necessary level of knowledge of the English language and life in the UK (see relevant section of this guidance for more information)."


i don't know if anyone on this forum has applied for a visa this way ?

but its another option for you to think about

I guess if you lived in phillipines or asia together you might be asked to proof you lived as couple. But like Joe i don't know what proof they would actually ask for As most people in phill don't get the same about of official papework that we do in the UK ie utility bills, tax etc.
