Somtimes life is not so good

whatever small chance there is of your visa being refused, you will have a right to appeal, and most appeals are won, i think its around the 66% mark for all types of visa.

with your evidence i'm sure you would win

Thanks Joe, I just lack confidence I think.

I'm not a gambler and I get really scared when I am faced with decisions like this, a bit of a woose really comes from the extremely precise nature of my work

When I write code I want it to work and to make it work I have to understand the problem in minute detail otherwise I will miss something and think everything is ok until it comes time to demo my code and something I failed to think about blows up in my face

Still going to get in touch with the IAS as I think that might be the best place to ask the "What if" questions.
