What we said, in our Fiancee visa application, was that the term "close friends" was more apt at that time, because we had not yet met in person. Since when, Shei has been annulled, and we have met twice - and the relationship has developed. It is 2 years since we were refused the VV, so it is natural that things have changed since then.

For dates, we said our relationship started on the day we first met in person. We explained further, in Section 7, that that was the date we first met in person, although our initial contact happened a few years earlier.

Hopefully this covers all bases for us in our application. Just thought I would bring the IAS advice to this question.
Yes thats right...It will be my reason too if il apply next time, with another status if we got married already into spouse visa..That i said close friend, not denying any...Coz they dont interview me.And im ready if they will, for the reason i put close friend coz im stil married and i dont deny that..and eco can understand coz no divorce in phil..I think eco is clever enough to read situations if youR a woman then saying" Close Friend" referring to a guy..
