hi ,thanks for the posting .just to be clear it was the tourist visa which was refused ,she was told she can apply for the freind vist visa with the help from me in form of invitation and support but she is worried that because she just had a tourist visa refused this will bear impact on the freind vist visa application.

the whole idea of her coming to the uk is so that we can meet to see if we get on and also for her to meet my parents .she is also worried that because her intended vist is for a meeting and relationship as we do intend to get married she is worried that if she says that her intended vist is for relationship she will defiantly get this freind visa refused .

can someone clarify this situation so i can put her mind at ease
i do have other questions but i was hopeing i could tag them to this topic so you all can see if this relationship works out and has a happy ending
thanks
