    Hi everyone I am Rob I am a British citizen and I am currently engaged to a Filipino lady.
    she has a 7 year old daughter from a previous relationship.
    She is recently (1 month pregnant) and I am currently trying to find out the best way of us being together i.e in the UK.
    I have heard some conflicting information ie it's better to marry in the Philippines and also I've heard it's better to marry in the UK
    I am here looking for some good advice please as I have seen lots of useful information and links hair already need some advice on my particular circumstances

    Hi Robert and :welcome: here :)
    I married over there and would do it again if I had to choose. It was a blast.
    Search our forum for spousal visa and the requirements you and your fiancée will need to provide when you are married.

    Yes he does.
    And i am guessing that will be an issue.

    His permission will be needed for leaving the country unless he has been missing for 7 years in which case it is possible to get a ruling of presumptive death

    Thanks for the info I think that he will agree to her leaving,
    At present she is applying for a fiance visa and hopefully she will be able to come over to have the baby and get married
    I don't know if and how easy it will be for her to bring her 7 year old daughter with her

    If the price is right............. Probably......
    If it goes to the ropes, and he asks for money, I suggest you haggle, agree on something, give him a small down payment, very small, and promise the rest after the daughter is in the UK...

    Welcome aboard!!!!!!!
