I wonder if this is possible or should we marry in phil first and then apply for spouse visa?
I`ve already booked my flight in feb and i can`t change that and of course i want to be with my fiancee when she applies for visa.
This is our preferred way to do it but i wonder if anyone has advice on whether its acceptable or not?
So you plan to get finace visa then both fly back to the uk then two months later fly back to the phill to get married sounds logical enough but i would check if possible. Like eula says it may confuse passport control if your married when you enter on a finace visa. also maybe problems with proving your married as the NSO certificate takes a while to come though.

I would do some serious checking that this will not cause a problem somewhere along the line.

Personally I would go along the get married in phill and apply for spouse visa. It may take longer but less likely to cause possible problems.

That or get finacee visa have registry wedding here then sort paperwork for flr. Then go back to phill for a blessing so your now wifes family can celebrate in style.
