Thanks for all the information, I have taken it all in, and will just focus on your questions to keep things simple: It was indeed, company header letter (TAX codes, address etc), with a message giving permission, CEO's signature with his personal phone number - stating I would return to work when back as usual. Agreed, she and myself stated that in both our cover letters, she is doing online Art courses and etc. I finance her (in more detail than that), so should be a done thing? or not? He had his own letter sent yes, signed also from the UK stating free food, accommodation, details of property i.e. bedrooms, bathrooms (amount also) and any utilities free. Water, electric etc. With picture evidence, and also my father's bank statements. No council tax bill though... "Show her bank statements" - We sent 6 months work, where the statements show my transfers, but we didnt exactly highlight each of my specific transfers... Also I did not send my statements show going out, her statements showed my name transferring in. Yes, with my ex-gf's Visas, they called us both times, to ask us about work and etc. and then got accepted, this time, the 'Beijing' office ECO, did not even call... or they dont do that anymore?

Thanks for the hints, I provided to them what we have in terms of proving living together. Any other ideas welcome. I have done so, and if you or anyone else think seeing the information would help you advise me, let me know and I will also send to you, cheers.

+ 1 Question, on the refusal letter, I noticed this, what is this Beijing location reference? or is it a name? Cheers.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, let me clear a bit of confusion perhaps sorry, I have made 2 accepted Visit Visa's with my 'EX-girlfriend'. This is my current girlfriend's first application attempt. When you say 'entire refusal notice' do you mean the email they sent back with all the reasons with obscured details? Thanks. "don't try to make the pieces fit unless you actually have new pieces." - Understood, and I agree. I have previously only evidenced truths. " is your gf named on any lease? Does she have a driving license at that address? Bank account" - Her name is on the lease as a witness signature, driving license is to her parents address, and bank account address is at our address together - the statements also showed that. Cheers.

"were they scanned at the Visa Application Centre ?" - Hi, thanks for asking, they were scanned at the Visa Application Centre, yes. We paid for this service. Both land certificate and graduation certificate professionally translated and stamped. That is fine to ask, the money is just a monthly allowance so to speak - which is paid by bank transfer from me to her bank each month. Thanks for asking, we have been living together for over a year and a half, and yes, the money is just a monthly allowance so to speak. We submitted the documents 2 months ago on March 31st, the decision was extremely delayed as I have noticed with other applications... "Proving your relationship could satisfy the ECO of her reasons to return" - Indeed, this was explained in detail in both mine and her cover letter, pictures of travels to beaches, pictures of the workplace we met at with us there, and documents such as my payslips showing I work here legally with a return intention together. Do you have suggestions for extra evidence of relationship? Thanks!

Thanks for the information here! - For her savings then, we sent the evidence for this - what do you think about my point No 3) ? The money I will give her for the trip, should it be shown from my bank account, or I transfer to her and show from her bank account? etc.

Hi there, hoping this is the right place for advice then, I have omitted any confidential information hopefully. (My ex-gf was accepted twice successfully for a UK Visit Visa before, so I have done this before, successfully). I'm half Thai, with UK + Thai passport (I work in Thailand as a Thai national). My current girlfriend (we live together) from Thailand applied for a UK visit/tourist visa and got refused, 1 reason I agree we need to send evidence, but the others they read the application wrong. Are they rushing because of their backlog??? 1) In the application she wrote 'Income per year' as £XXXX but they said 'where are her evidence of savings of £XXXX'??? They read income per year as 'savings', this means they did NOT read correctly? Also we had sent evidence of 6 months of her statements showing a monthly income from myself to her: The number they mention is the Amount you get in a year... the 'savings' number is much lower of course. When re-applying, what should I write back to them in the evidence? Should I screenshot and highlight where they READ it wrong? Will the next ECO understand??? How should I show the total of income per year, send extra statements up to 12months with highlights of monthly transfers?? (The income comes from me, because she does not have a proper job, she has a proper education etc. btw. certificates were sent to the ECO). 2) - Now this one, I do not understand. In her cover letter she wrote she was going to visit my family, correct, but also travel around with me to visit destinations around my hometown in the Cotswolds. My thoughts to this statement - and I may be naive and angry, but so what even if she was just requesting to visit her boyfriends home and family - is this not a valid reason anymore? (Same reason my last gf who got accepted twice) 3) I stated I would help pay £XXXX for the visit, and that accommodation + food was FREE because we would stay at my parents in the UK (all evidenced with signed letter from my father, his bank statements and pictures of the house). I DID NOT show evidence for this amount, so I agree I should send evidence -> can you guys help advise how to show it? Just show the money in my own account? I do not want to transfer to her, and show it like that, it would look dodgy/intentional? or should I do that? 4) "not displayed ANY" - This is incorrect, written in each cover letter, was that she has a land certificate in her name. The original certificate was scanned ALONG with a professionally translated (to English) and stamped copy. Did they just skip over it? - She also has family, friends and lives with me here - and I have a job to return to (with a letter of leave given in English and scanned). 5) Can anyone elaborate on what they are requiring? In the cover letters we stated our exact plans, planned return date and why etc. Are they expecting some other 'wording?'. What can be done if the ECO does NOT read the application correctly? We sent all other required evidence, so would appreciate focus on the ECO's "reasons". ANY advice would be greatly appreciated for the re-application we will make... Thanks all!
