need advice same sex sponsor

If I recall correctly, there is no law against living with a same sex partner in the Philippines. If so, there is no legal/immigration barrier preventing you from living together in the Philippines, which would make you ineligible for conjugal.

I wouldn't say it makes them ineligible, as there can be other factors that prevent people from living together. Since same-sex relationships are not accepted in Philippines it could be argued they would face some kind of discrimination or family issues if they lived as a couple there.

I think a conjugal app could still be successful if they submitted lots of proofs of the marriage like relationship, but yes it could be a tough process. Of course finding a country to get married in would make the whole thing way easier.

I agree that other factors can be at play in a conjugal case. However, I believe that same-sex relationships are accepted enough in the Philippines that IRCC could make the argument against conjugal. I work with many Filipinos who say that although the older generation holds on to their prejudicial beliefs, the younger generations have much more modern beliefs for things like same-sex relationships, divorce, abortion etc.

Yes thank u..u actually got it right. Saying living together as a same sex couple is not as easy as it is being said. Thanks for the idea.. if she cant get a trv then i guess we will marry somewhere else. Thanks
