Sponsored family visit visa Refused

[benb]

Well, Ruby had none of these either, but she was granted a visitor visa last year.

The only thing in her favour was that she had been out of the Philippines before. Oh, and she had me to sponsor her!

As far as I know its much harder now compared to last year.

Grrrrr overstayers!

I'm sorry to hear this, it just dosen't seem fair.
I've been wondering recently, whether to apply for a visitor visa for my gf.
I know the odds are stacked against, but I'd love her to get a feel for the UK.

Hope the appeal goes in your favour.

Thanks Sim, the appeal has been submitted. Another wait begins!...
