hi there Elvie
good to know you...
you haven't been in the uK before, do you?
tell me why you are refused with your tourist visa... what was the reason?
I think CP VISA is not an option yet for you... stick on to your tourist visa first... to be specific actually u should apply a visit visa, that is sponsored by your friend from here in the UK... that's what I did with my past 2 visit visa. that is still a tourist visa but is specified. hope this is of help to you.
