bringing my girlfriend to the uk

Hi All

Want yo bring my girlfriend to the UK. She is still married unfortunately and cannot get divorced due to the extortionate fees over there. Did some research on Google and found that she could live with me as cohabiting?

No, to cohabitate you have to demonstrate you have lived akin to man and wife ie under the same roof for at least 2 years

That begs the question, how can she live with me in the UK for 2 years or do I have to live with her for 2 years in the Philippines?

You can buy an annullment. I did..cost me 2 grand..took 18 months. Obviously i hadnt paid enough. Judges dont come cheap. But this was 10 years ago.

From the Internet, it says from nearly £7000 upto about £14000. Which is why its become unaffordable

To be honest your stuck without a divorce unless she can get a visa in her own right for the UK.
You cannot cohabitate with a married women in the Philippines it is unlawful and would cause you and her major issues like jail time.

Its who you know...
But its a major cash cow for the corrupt sh1t hole.

Hi goku1, I have been following your other post and now this one, it's pretty obvious you think a lot of this lady but YOU have a difficult decision to make, let me tell you about my experience when I was single and looking for my future life partner.

I was on a dating site as many of us were, and had booked flights to visit the Philippines at that time I was still working so had a limited amount of time for my visit, I arranged to meet three ladies (not at the same time) The first lady I met was a nice woman who was from the provinces but working in Cebu to be honest nowt wrong with the woman we went out on a couple of dinner dates, her english was not great which can create a problem in itself but apart from that there was just no spark no attraction between us, I then contacted Lady No2 and arranged to meet her at the Ferry Port in Cebu, This time she walked in to the waiting room at the Port and straight away there was a lovely smile and an instant liking between us and the rest shall we say is/was history, I never did get to meet Lady No3, When I got back to the UK she said that she had something to tell me, which was that she was already married to an American guy, That was a shock but I decided to end the relationship, we spoke a few times after that but no point really in continuing with something that may or may not have ended well.

I am now happily married to a lovely Filipino who had no baggage, she lives here with me in the UK and this year she will be applying for her ILR.

Now back to you and your GF, you can go and live with her out in the Philippines for the next 2 years or longer, but you will always have the worry/threat of looking over your shoulder so to speak, or you could move to another Province in the Philippines where you would could relax a little more because you would be away from her other half and his family (but would your Gf be happy doing that ?) and you have to remember you're still breaking the law.
I really don't see how your Gf could get a visa to come and live with you, yes she could apply for a visit visa but what happens when she goes back ?, my personal opinion is break off with her now before you have met,] it's far easier than having to make the decision after meeting she will continue her life as she knows it, she has not really so far as you know known anything different, believe me there are literally thousand upon thousands of lovely Filipino ladies without baggage waiting to meet someone like you..

Good luck whatever you decide.

She's just told me that she has been offered a job as a nanny in Taiwan and is awaiting the contract. The contract is for 3 years and she thinks that I could wait 3 years to be together. I am devastated. I think she new about the job a while ago. I just don't know what to do now. I'm thinking I should just break it off and be done with it

I think what your suggesting Paul is dubious and fraught with difficulty.
Don’t forget the UK respects the Philippines marital status and when the couple came to validate their relationship as a couple the UK would want evidence of living together akin to man and wife.
I assume that on the application she would have to enter her marital status as?.
What she could do is divorce in another country and return to the Philippines but she would still be married in the eyes of the Philippines and it may still present difficulties
As you say however it’s best the op forgets and looks elsewhere

Break it off and move on. Enjoy the time looking around and the right one will turn up

Not going to bother with women any more. Every woman in my life has f***Ed me over one way or another. This is women number 6

can i ask why you were looking on a filipino dating site ?

Because woman number 5 was from Thailand and constantly kept going on about being poor and having no money in short. She also kept being evasive when i asked her for her address. I told her i was going to send her a gift for the reason i asked. I thought I'd give filipino cupid a try

Mate forget her she is playing you along, like i said earlier thousands of ladies in the Philippines and without the baggage..

so --you have a preference for asian ladies ?

Yes I like asian women. Not going to bother with any woman now though

It's good to take a break sometimes, but, life has a way of throwing surprises at us at times.

Nice bit of trolling O.P. ... as I'd suspected all along.

Break

break it off my friend, plenty more tuna in the tank
