visit visa refused

[Terpe]

.............. my friend really wants to spend time with his gf in the uk before they decide to get married ............................

I can really understand the logic behind this thinking. But also logically, if two people are convinced that the feelings they have for each other are strong enough to get married.... then surely it does not matter where the location is.

If we are compatible lets get married.
If you like UK we will get married, if not then goodbye?

Sorry for the harsh words. That's a hard fact of life when inter-cultural relationships are involved. Lots of 'learning' to be done on both sides..

By the way if the first fiancee visa did not result in the expected outcome, then a subsequent fiancee visa application would (in principle) be evaluated on it's own merits.

Hope this helps
