Family Visa or Tourist Visit Visa?

[mastergidd]

I am spinning my head already.

Honestly, I just met this bloke during my previous visit of last year and was not in a relationship with him at that time. It is only these past few months that we started talking and had a relationship over the net. The main reason that I stayed longer than what I put in my application last year was my sisters breakdown of her marriage and her divorce issues. I had already explained these issue to the ECO in my appeal letter that I had withdrawn recently.

Really you've got 3 options...

1) Be honest and mention your relationship now when applying for a visit visa. If you and your bf ever apply for a fiancee/spouse visa in the future it will make life a lot easier. This may reduce your chance of getting a visit visa.

2) Don't mention your relationship now when applying for a visit visa. If you and your bf ever apply for a fiancee/spouse visa in the future be honest and admit when the relationship started, though the ECO is likely to give you a hard time about not mentioning your boyfriend in your previous visit visa applications.

3) Don't mention your relationship now when applying for a visit visa. If you and your bf ever apply for a fiancee/spouse visa in the future lie about when the relationship started, though if the ECO realises you have lied (for example if he calls you in for an interview) he will give you a very hard time, and maybe even refuse your visa and ban you.

The choice is yours....
