Hi John and welcome.
this forum and pete's web site are definetly a must for anyone even contemplating visa application. I've been away from the site for a while but the information i got previously on here has been invaluable. If you cant find it here it doesn't exist....
I've also found it hard to be seperated from my fiancee Josephine for long so have been to visit her twice since christmas and am also due to fly out again in April (12th). Our application for settlement will be submitted when I am there.Good luck with your reapplication
