If your looking for a Fiance visa you will obviously have to wait until you get your Decree Absoloute
mmm no the divorce wont be validly secured abroad, how do i do that? or start to do that? and is Decree Absolute something here in the UK or something i need from PI? thanks for your input
Decree absoloute is the final document to confirm your divorce here.
no i dont have that yet but hope it wont take too long now, so thought how long before we can start to apply for the new visa.
What stage is your divorce at. Firstly you have to get a decree nisi and then there's a gap of at least 6 weeks before you get the absolute. I wouldn't have thought you could apply for a Fiance visa until you are free to marry.
ah ok so best to wait for another couple of months as yet, is there anything we can do in the mean time? and do i need to register anything in Pi ? to get the visa ?
Well I would be checking some of the threads here and make sure you have all the required documents for your application and everything else that is needed.
Exactly what papers have been signed by your wife? Was it the acknowledgment of service form issued by the court?So at last my Pinay wfe has signed the Divorce papers
As you know there are there are 3 main steps to getting divorced:-
- File a divorce petition - (apply to the court for permission to divorce, and show reasons why you want the marriage to end)
- Apply for a decree nisi - (if your spouse agrees to the petition, you’ll get a document saying there’s no reason you can’t divorce)
- Apply for a decree absolute - (this legally ends your marriage - you need to wait 6 weeks after you get the decree nisi before you can apply)
Regarding the Fiancee visa, based on the information you give you'll not be granted a Fiancee visa until you are able to provide the Divorce Decree Absolute.
So you can't submit an application until that is in your hand.
But you do have time now to start preparing the evidence for the application.
Don't forget that your Fiancee will need to provide an English Language Test Pass certificate. Take a look at this webpage Evidence of your English language ability
She'll also need to consider making arrangements to undergo Tuberculosis testing.
Take a look at this webpage called Tuberculosis testing in the Philippines
Also start reviewing this thread All New Guide - How to apply for a Fiance Visa
Start collecting and collating all the evidence you need.
In addition to Financials please note that extra care is needed on the provision of evidence for:-
proving your relationship with your partner is genuine and subsisting
Showing evidence that you intend to marry in the UK and live together
Hope that helps
