Thank you for you useful help, I have been very nervous about asking!! Any seems like the best way is for me to visit, and apply for a fiancee visa. With regards this type of visa, I have read many posts here, and the knowledge is, I need to keep all records of my contact with my beloved, including chat arhives, receipts of any money sent, and text messages, formal letters. This I am endeavouring to do.
with regards the other issue, I have checked with my supporting police officer, and have now been informed, I would have no difficulty in leaving the UK, which is wonderful, BUT can I enter the Philipeans???can you help,

Ok, your personal copper says you will be alright to leave...

We are telling you that it ok to get there without hindrance...

this is not what is bugging me really...

What I have been pondering since my first answer on your original post is......

If you told your girlfriend that you have a record...

It is none of my business , but in my opinion it would be much fairer to her if she knows in advance and so she can make an unbiased decision on her future with or without you....
If you told her about it, I admire your sense of commitment and dedication.
If you haven't told her yet it is about time you do, before you actually meet and the relationship enters a new phase.

If she happens to find out about your record after the fact, on her own bat..... You will have lots of trouble. You will never be able to regain her trust, or, worse, her affection...

The ball is in your court...

Good luck...

Good point Dom i would also check the set (m) visa application it asks if either of you have a crminal record i think if my memory serves me correct. You also have to list any convctions. So looks like you doing the best thing and facing up to it now.

Dom is correct, as long as your passport is clear, and you have no travel restrictions, your free to go anywhere you want.

I would also be honest with your lady, tell her upfront, I'm sure she will be more understanding if you tell her now, rather than later.

Greetings to you, thank you for your reply, yes of course I have told her all about my circumatances, infact she new even before we bacam a ITEM as I wanted her to make an informed choice, based on truth and not decepetion.
I have always been very open and honest with any potential future wife, and believe this is correct, better to build on Rock than sand !

thank you kindly.

Hi Jessyb, I think the best thing to do is visit her first and then apply for fiance visa (if everything goes ok with your visit and relationship with her).
Criminal records should not be a problem if it's only a petty crime, unless it is written in your passport.
Phil immigration will not ask you if you have any criminal record, unless your passport is registered as a 'wanted dangerous person'.
Anyway, good luck to both of you and keep in mind whatever you both will decide, it will take time, patience and meticulous planning.
