Quoted post

Actually Keith I think that visa was approved because the applicant had compelling reasons to return, such as the "Completion of the Degree course", that would have persuaded the ECO's that the applicant would return.

However one thing to note, the refusal to grant a tourist visa, unless to a family member, is not appealable, in other words, no appeal can be made within 6 months, under the current rules, unless the tourist visa is to a family member, but in this case it was.

Interesting dont you think ?
