Marrying in another country

If you're seriously considering a Family Visit Visa don't get too hung up on the myriad stories of refusal reasons. Just do it.
The cost is relatively low and any initial refusal may be easily countered and enable a subsequent application to be granted.

for what its worth--my lady got a general visit visa. her 1st app was refused because of some trivial bank a/c anomaly--which was then sorted--and 2nd app was successful.
