Time now for you to get everything together and submit your application and please God you will get a positive result.








I must say that these 2 parts of your post did concern me a little bit. Your Boyfriend is working as a Trader in a large bank in London. This would indicate that he's in a rather well paid job Iyah and would it not be possible for him to visit you. There's no doubting your commitment to this relationship working but is he putting in any effort.
You seem to be putting a lot of effort into trying to come here and visit and yet you tell us that he is running out of patience. Be very careful Iyah because he should not be running out of patience with somebody who is trying as hard as you to visit him.
Is he paying for your ticket to London ?

I really hope that everything works out for you but please tread carefully.
I wish you well.
Thank You very much Mr. Marco. you dont know how much your reply means to me.

He is working in a stock exchange Sir. He visited me twice here as I am working in a hotel here in Egypt. He came here last Jan 2012 and this Oct 2012. Bcoz of the holidays he took last Christmas he will not be able to request for a vacation again as he already consumed it last Dec to visit his family. But I do understand as family is important.

I am only be allowed for my annual vacay from FEB- MARCH.

There's no doubting your commitment to this relationship working but is he putting in any effort.

With the nature of his job, I dont want to stress him anymore so I do my best trying to research as best as I can. I almost read already all the thread posted here about visit visa to gather information.

TBH with you sir, reading those post in here. I felt a bit of jealousy as I know how hard those bf/husbands ask help and advice just to be with their loved ones. They have the same aim. As for me, I am not complaining as its my decision to do all the paperworks. But its been tough

Is he paying for your ticket to London

Yeap he will be paying my ticket as I know even i insist he will not accept it.

You seem to be putting a lot of effort into trying to come here and visit and yet you tell us that he is running out of patience.

I do understand that he is struggling with the distance. Thats why I am doin the best that I can to make him happy and try our luck to see him in London even for two weeks.

I gave up being home for Christmas just to be with him. I just hope all will be worthy at the end Sir.

I am thankful for Mr. Terpe, Sir Joe, Mr.Trefor and rose and to you Sir Marco

I hope I will be enlightened regarding my dillema in bank statement. Sorry for bursting my emotions in here and lengthy of messages this might be the result of sleepless night of rationalizing things and of course stress!hahah

Salamat po If you have any advice to help me on my application, I would be very indebted.

Godbless po

Iyah
