If we can be of any assistance please feel free to message us.

Not sure if quoting our case would be of any significance but glad to give it if it helps.

hi dave. your situation i guess would really help in pointing out to the ECM and ECO that people on the same case with me got the visa. the simple of refusal was just that we made no bookings but we provided register office letter about not giving provisionary booking, and that my bf has not come to visit me here in the philippines within that period of separation and the eco wont accept skype chats of 300pages plus facevook conversation. can i have your reference number if its alright? i just have to tell the ECM that the person with this ref number had the visa without booking arrangement and been away for 8 months.
