I am new here and please be gentle.Thank you. I really need advice. I used to live and work in UK and have a PR.Recently i apply for entry clearance as returning resident to uk was refused on grounds that I have left UK more than 2 years.I did asked the staff at the High Commission and she said I still can visit and work there provide I apply for visitor visa for the former and work permit for the latter. I actually want to visit my friend in UK as I have not been back to visit for a long time.What are my chances of getting my visitor visa?I have friends who is settle and I am staying with her .She is giving me accomodation and food.Also I do not intend to overstay or work illegally because I am a nurse with practising nursing license from UK ,Aust and Malaysia.I do not want to jeopardise my license/registration.During my time in UK ,I have paid my tax and have good track wrok record.I have never do anything illegally.
Now is just a question of whether the entry clearance officer will grant me the visa.I planned to saty for 4 to 6 weeks and I do have a job I have to go back to ...agency nursing.Also ,I have lots of friends working in different hospital and my Senior Nurse who has retired whom I want to spend sometime with them.Can anyone advise and tell me my chances?(I have make a lot of good freinds whilst I am there and now I want to visit and spend time.Also I want to visit some places in UK with my friends that drive.)All help is very much appreciate ,thank you kindly.
