Hi Englishman2010,
I too got my tourist visa denied last May. Me and my b/f was frustrated because we were expecting it will be granted.
Now we are planning on putting another tourist application. He came here 2 weeks ago for his 3rd time this year and he is coming back in 14 days to spend two months here in Phils. We are also planning on getting married (civil) next month, that is less than 30 days from now.

My question here, is that do we need to apply tourist visa for me? I have no intentions on living in the UK, I'm only going there to stay with my finace (soon to be husband) as he is currently working there and planning to move here permanently by the next year.

I've posted a thread here and so far only darren-b has given me some advice.

Will somebody give us an advice too?

Would it be sensible to apply for tourist visa after we get married? and what are the chances of me to have that visa. I work at home (virtual assistant) for my boss in the US.

Does the declaration of porperty and absolute deed of sale will suffice to link myself here in the Phils.

My mum is the one who's got some properties as an heir to her deceased parents.

Hope you will give me some advice.

Thanks,
Honey
