The problem is shes 3 months' pregnant and she wants to know her rights in the UK. First, she was on a student visa but this expired a long time ago. As she never renewed it , it's like she's illegal here. But her passport has not expired yet. And she doesn't know what to do. I don't know what exactly her rights are here. Can you please tell me what she should do in her situation?

Regards
Basically she's an overstayer and, as you've said, illegal.

Honestly, she should return home before Immigration catch up with her, as she will be banned from re-entering the UK for 10 years if they do.

But, on the other hand, if she leaves voluntarily, the penalty would be less severe.

We do not have what's called an 'anchor' situation in the UK, unlike the US has, which means if the child was born there, it would be an American citizen. But that is not the case here, so the child would only be a Filipino national as the parents are not married. Hence no legal right of stay.

I am sure others will come along and give more advice. Sorry if that's not what your friend wanted to hear...
