Hi everybody
I`m after some advice....
I`ll be going back to phil in feb to apply for a fiancee visa with my fiancee.
Then we plan to get married in phil in may.
There are lots of posts here where people get fiancee visa and then get married in UK but nothing like our plans.
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.

Hi 'adam&chryss'
My wife and I really did want to marry in Davao, get the spouse visa then jump on a plane back to the UK. It does not work like that. we could not bear the thought of getting married then being seperated for weeks or months before Gemma got her visa.
We applied March 5th 2007 for the fiancee visa and she got it on the april 23rd 2007.
We will be having a blessing this coming year in Davao.
Gemma has made a number of fillipina friends here in Swindon and some married in the Phillippines last year, they all had to wait a number of months before they got their visas, Im not saying thats the case for everybody but we and her family did'nt want to take that chance on our future happiness.
Imagine having a wonderful wedding then getting on a plane a few days or weeks down the line on your own!! not knowing when you will see your beloved again? sorry, it was'nt for us.
Good luck Adam and Chryss, we hope it all works out for you both
