Iain,joebloggs,
you have both made the same point and i can see what you mean if i put myself in the head of the ECO i can see why he may think that way, i sent an email last night, asking for contact so that i can explain ... i dont think there is any chance they will...but i wanted to try...this is genuine, my previous application for VV was not like this we were not engaged and wanted to explore our feelings and although the application was made in may the relationship started to breakdown almost immediatly on my return and to be honest it was unlikely that if issued she was going to travel anyway and i would of tried to cancel her visa or at least withdraw my sponsorship!! but they didnt issue so i didnt persue the visa .the reason that i didnt talk to much about my past with annabel was that i was embarassed and a bit ashamed at my actions, i had found out things that made me stop the relationships but felt if i had been a bigger man etc...but then i found annabel a diamond and realised how a relationship should be ...now it seems we are going to suffer for my stupidity and naivety.... so as i see it 2 things against us....annabel wasnt aware of my last application for VV for a different girl....and this was within 6 months for a differnet girl ......oh dear..anybody know where i can get immigration advice for writing a reconsideration letter to the ECM and or to help with my appeal......think i will start looking at what paperwork i need to go and marry annabel in the philippines !
