First of, you're right I thank God for this blessing!, i applied for a general visa (short visit visa) maximum 6 months. ..my bf is my sponsor & my main purpose of travel is just for leisure & tour around England & the rest of the UK, I made that clear on my cover letter ( i tried to write as much cover letters for each supporting documents that I submitted; my bf provided a letter of invitation; a copy of his Bank Statement; Mortgage statement(for his house); a letter from his company for his employment reference
I included a copy of my Bank statements & a Bank Certificate; a copy of someof our photos here & the UK together ( I was in the UK before as a student); a copy of our continuous communication via Facebook ( I printed someof them)
it will be a pleasure to add moreinformations should u have any. I will be pleased to help!
