Getting married to another person?

Exactly

if a couple satisfy registry office rules--and are married by a registrar--then they are legally married.---regardless of whether they circumvented UKVI paperwork.

as to whether the new sponsor can meet the criteria is a different issue. its just a case of whether the OP wants to gamble the FLR fee.

They wouldn't get past the notice to marry stage at the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Office. When we submitted ours a few weeks back they wanted a photocopy of the missus passport because the Fiancee visa stamp in the passport has my name stamped on the visa, so I think that's that, you can only get married to the chap who sponsored you to come to the UK in the first place, phew, a hard one

Exactly.

hey--maybe we got this wrong---maybe he wants to marry ANOTHER person--meaning--an extra one

But we know Mike. He has been on here for a while and we know he applied for a Fiancee visa. So presumably that fell through after arrival here in the UK and he wants to marry another?

Hope he clarifies for us.

I thought he was a she sorry for that, I remember a post by Ekim Mike saying they had a partner 40 yrs older than themselves so I assumed it was the usual young Filipina with older chap.

Assume = Ass-u-me

Now I am uncertain. Wheres the scratching of head smiley?

it would be helpful if the OP would clarify the whole situation

I couldn't agree more, a very unusual and interesting thread.

I am in a genuine relationship for 3 yrs with my fiance but dilemma starts when I got my visa bec I cant live with him as he lives with his son. I live alone in a flat now just 20 mins drive away from him but he can only visit me just once or thrice a month and I feel so lonely as I have nobody to chat with so I started seeing mate and we always go for a walk almost everyday for a month now as he sympathies about my situation.

Sorry to pry but was you aware that you weren't going to be co-habiting with your partner prior to leaving the Philippines? Did he/she say you would have to live somewhere else, not with him and his son? Did he/she assist you with looking for your own place? I certainly understand the loneliness, must be daunting in some respects. I genuinely feel sorry for your situation but I'm just wondering if it could have been avoided in the first place. The new person in your life, do you have strong emotional ties with them? Again I don't mean to push but you need to think carefully, you dont want to be going from one bad situation to a possibly worse one.

Surely when you apply for the fiancee visa the sponsor has to provide all the accomodation details and they have to meet requirements.

So I don't understand why you couldn't live together.

Maybe the fiancee had never intended that outcome?

I must say that you are in a very difficult situation. I note from another thread that you fiancé is 40 years older and he clearly cares little about you if you only see him once or thrice a month. If you get married to someone else you would probably be just making more problems for yourself, not only in terms of potentially staying in the country illegally, but marrying someone else who you think can extricate you from this situation. You could find yourself married to someone else and being deported.

Going back to the Philippines is really your only viable answer in this situation, as far as I can see. But, I assume, you cannot afford to pay for a plane ticket? I think you really need to seek help from the Philippines Embassy in this country if you don't have the money to return home.

Any room at the Inn Howerd ?

Are you trying to turn this into an E. M. Forster novel?

William Blake, Jane Austen, Robbie Burns and now E. M. Forster.

Didn't he write a book called Howards End?
