Visitors visa query

[darren-b]

This might be the case in the Philippines, but in the UK (well at least in mine and joeblogg's opinion) a close friend is not a BF/GF, it is just a very good friend.[/ I dont know if the eco is not clever enough to understand,coz we have the invitation letter attached to it.wr not denying..Maybe the eco have the idea ...thats why dont bother to interview me..Maybe i just show them that im capable and meet the criteria. I just show my own capacity not because i was sponsored by anybody...

I think you're missing the point..

Saying you're close friends at this point isn't actually an issue. It might become an issue if when you applied for a visitor visa you said you were close friends, but then at a later stage you applied for a fiancee/spouse visa and stated your relationship as BF/GF started prior to the date you applied for a visitor visa. You may argue close friends is the same as BF/GF, but I'm not sure the ECO would see it that way.

If you never apply for a fiancee/spouse visa then this is irrelevant to you.

I dont think so....If time comes, i have the ready answers. I think it depends on how i will do the reasoning.I know how to handle interviews,especially in personal.Im comfortable. And also i dont deny any,coz they dont asked. And even in the immigration officer in airport when i arvd. here i told them straight its my fiancee im visiting. And its not only once ive been here and pass thru immigration officer without any problem at all.They even dont bother to call my fiancee to check..Maybe it depends also on the person.Its case to case.Sometimes they read personality of a person...But anyway tnx for the concern. At least i will preapare and have idea if ever..Cheers...
