And now, it was past how many months since I last applied. So, I am planning to apply again for a visa. But for this time, I am confused whether to apply for a Family Visit Visa again which my brother is my sponsor or a Tourist Visit Visa which my bf wanted to be the sponsor and be living with him entirely of the visit visa time. I once met him in the UK during my last visit but we were not in a relationship at that time and only during this past few months that we kept on communicating by net.

Please do advise me.


Cheers
If you wait a while you will probably get another visa, you have just applied too early after your previous visit. You're only allowed to visit for six months in a year, so if you've just returned a month ago, then wait another 5 months or so and you'll probably be OK as long as you have never overstayed before.
