UK Visa for Filipina fiance

[Jamesxx]

I wonder if anyone with relevant experience can help me.

I've fallen for a lovely Filipina girl I met on a dating website. We have been chatting, swapping pictures, speaking on the phone and Skype etc. We are very keen to get together.

I want to ask what kind of visa I need to apply for in order for her to live with me in London.

I can visit her, I can marry her either in the Philippines or the UK (I'd prefer the UK but don't mind) but I'm confused about the kind of visa I need to apply for.

One visa type I looked at required us to live together for two years before applying, which is impossible.

Could anyone help me with practical advice? My mission is for her to be my wife and live with me in London.

I am employed in a good job and divorced (with proof of my divorce).

Thanks very much!

Until you have physically met her and spent some time with her, a fiance or spouse settlement visa will fail.

The two year cohabitation does not apply to fiance or spouse visa, it is specific only to an unmarried partner visa.
