hello all
i been wondering how much it is to pay the express fee in philippines
for us to get married thus avoiding too much fuss etc ?
be great to know
cheers all.
jencha
anyone know how much it costs for a visitor visa ?
cheers jencha
we got everyone done the right way, pay people under the table you risk, losing your money or worse get you fake papers, and forged papers will get you a long ban from the british gov, not worth the risk, like i keep saying 'tell a lie, wave your visa goodbye '
I think many phill town halls will allow non resident people fill in the counsling paperwork in advanced or by proxy. If you live locally im sure for the long term gain its worth attending if asked.
thanks all for your advice and help
will look into it further
cheers jencha

Hi there! Don't bother for a fiancee visa. Too many requirements they need for you to prove. If he truly loves you, why don't you get married first in the Philippines, you have to prove to the immigration that its genuine marriage, loads of girls come here for marriage for convenience & that's what they don't like. Your partner has to prove as well that he's got a decent job, a house for you to live here in UK, meaning that he could support you financially w/o getting funds or benefits from the d government here. They will based it on facts & when approved they will give 2 years entry clearance or if you had been at least 3 yrs. marriage or relationship straight away you will be granted resdience permit or no time limit visa. That's all i can say.
