    Hello there Iyah, welcome to the forum.

    As everyone else has mentioned, it can be quite difficult to secure a visit visa.
    However, the cost of the risk (visa application fee) is relatively small, so you may consider it worth risking. Why not?
    There is really no security these days, only opportunity.

    Just do everything you can do to satisfy the ECO (Entry Clearance Officer)

    The key issues normally are to clearly show sufficient funding for the duration and purpose of your visit, and to clearly demonstrate that your reasons to return before visa expiry outweigh any reasons to overstay.

    Your case is not uncommon, but puts you in a rather tricky position in that you wish to visit someone with whom you have a romantic link. This may prove too much for the ECO.

    If your B/F really cannot find time for a meeting in Egypt and you want to make a visit to UK then it's better to at least give your best shot.
    Your B/F would be advised to send a very good supporting letter, together with recent bank statements proving funding, details and supporting evidence of his employment and income, photocopies of his passport page and evidence of the accomodation available to you. He will need to clearly state the reasons for his invitation at this time (eg your contracted holiday time).

    Your contract of employment in Egypt will be important and you need to secure a letter from your employers stating your position, time employed, contracted duration, details of income and confirmation of your approved holiday leave time and duration and the time they are expecting you to your job.

    Good Luck

    Terpe makes a here ... the cost of a visit visa IS, indeed, minimal compared to that of the Settlement types. And there's nothing to prevent you from taking a chance. Just don't build up too much hope!

    ... so long as you can AVOID putting any undue emphasis on the romantic link.
