Hey James
Was going to ask how you were doing, but now I know! Really sorry to hear about this - to be honest one of the reasons we decided for a Fiancee visa was the difficulty in a visitor visa when no hard concrete evidence was available to show Rina would return.
It did of course mean I had to make a decision quickly which wasnt so hard in the end but it does mean a commitment has to be made.
Once we got all the requirements in place (TOEIC was the pain in the rear) it only took 10-12 days and the visa was granted.
Wish you all the best with it mate!
Cheers
Tone
