I just want to thank everyone in advance for reading and answering my concerns.

Brief background about my case. Ive been in a same sex relationship with my partner for 2 years and counting. I am married but separated from my husband since 2012. My husband lives in the US since 2011 up to this very day. Divorce is not allowed in the Philippines and Annulment is costly and lengthy process.

We arent too worried about proving thegenuineness of our relationship because we have kept all our proofs like remittances slip, receipts when she sent packages from canada, her making me as one of her beneficiaries on her health card, statements from both of our families, airline and itinerary records, travel receipts with both of our names on it, her closeness to my kids including their conversations, call logs/records, we will be applying for a joint bank account this December when she visits me again, our conversations and letters since day 1 of our relationship, just to name a few.

Are we qualified for conjugal sponsorship? I am married and same sex relationship is not allowed here in the Philippines.

I will be applying for a TRV this November or December hoping I could get approved but the fact i am currently unemployed or have no business here in Ph to prove my strong ties, most likely I will get declined. I just want to prove myself that I tried any possible option for me to visit my partner.

Shes coming here to visit me on December and will return back to Canada on February. If i get approved, my plan is to come with her on February.

If i get denied, can I use it as a proof that we have an immigration barrier preventing us to be together? If the immigration officer, asks my partner why cant she come live here in Philippines, simply because I am still married and that is considered adultery.

Please can you give insights about our plan? Are we taking the right path?

I would recommend you read through your historical posts. You've already been provided with a great deal of advice there regarding your questions above.

Which is getting/applying a TRV first. Apologies for constantly posting about this. Just wanted to gather more info and weigh in things.

Wait until you find out about a TRV.

Same sex marriages, divorces, and the Philippines are a very common reason for conjugal sponsorships, and one of the few that have a high chance of success.

You need to have an immigration barrier first.

Lawyers cost a lot. Most of this you can do yourself. Wait to see if you need a lawyer for a complicated situation.

Yes, will have to apply first for a TRV. May i know what is your basis about complicated situation? In my opinion, our case is kinda complicated because i am still married.

That's very standard from the Philippines, as divorce is essentially impossible there, and same sex marriage is similarly impossible.

Can i ask a few questions about the TRV form? It says to provide financial support. Since I am unemployed at the moment, can i provide the remittances slip i receive monthly/regulary?
