On the point of honesty with Visa etc.

I have a Pinay friend who has lived in Spain for a number of years and who has had several UK visitors visas.

A year ago she applied for a visa for UK and 'by mistake' said she had never been refused a visa, She had many years ago, although since then she had be issued with further visitors visas.

The application was refused because she had wrongly answered. The Border Control, said if a person did not answer correctly they had no alternative but to refuse the application.

It took a lot of effort to get the decision reversed.
