Thanks both.. frustrating eh having so many barriers when people are genuinely in love.
She does have a stable job which she has done for 4 years and letter etc from employer would not be a problem.
Would a tourist visa being turned down, have any bearing on the main settlement process once we are married?
Also regarding tourist visa, would they still need the whole financial support proof even though we are talking about a short stay? Just working out what documents I need to get together.
Presumably they dont expect to see an actual flight booking, since we couldnt book it until the tourist visa was approved?
Thanks again :-)
