Home for Christmas?

Hi all on the site,
And thanks for the friendly welcome.
The first lady to reply made me a bit nervous in her question about had I sponsored before... and am I going to get the dreaded answer that the system only allows you to fall in love once in your life in the Philippines!

Sadly I am separated now from the lady who came home with me early in 2003, though we are very good friends and share our daughter.

My question really (apart from can one fall in love twice) if anyone can help here is: assuming I am not barred from seeking a second partner, can my intended civil partner and me who are both married to someone else, qualify for a settlement visa to the UK?

Thanks for reading this,

You won't be barred for sponsoring a second partner, but both of you being married is a problem if your partner is going to apply for a visa on the basis of your relationship. You need to arrange a divorce and they need to arrange an annulment of their previous marriage.
