A mate of mine has just been turned down for a Tourist Visa for his GF they have lived together for over a year He earns over 5,000 Euros a month as a German Translator for Mercedes pays all his tax to the German gov't. Got a Schenken Visa okay but as his daughter is getting married in England applied for a UK Visit Visa and was refused. This means his GF will be stuck in Germany on her own for 5 days while he attends his daughters wedding.

I will see him Monday and he will show me the refusal letter.

This seems to need it's own thread as it doesn't have anything to do with settlement visas for the UK. I would be interested to see the refusal notice if you can post it. It may be something as simple as your friend's girlfriend applying for a UK visa when she is in Germany on a visit visa. Embassies overseas will not accept applications from someone who is not resident in the country where they apply

Please post the refusal notice

Just to say my wife and i have also put in an application for her daughter to come to the UK on the 7th April so we too can be added to the list for 2011, hope all get the same positive news!

Mine too and my family are, my mum and dad are dying to see her again especially now she's pregnant.

[tigerjohn]

looking at this time last year the wait was between 7/8 weeks but i thought due to them coming back pretty quick in march it would have been around the 5wk mark but i was wrong LOL heres hoping for early next week,

Yeah I was expecting around the 5 week mark. We have to fly before 6th June or our plans are all up in smoke.

My mum wants to write to the Home office :-) I told her thanks but it wont do any good. They are desperate for us to go to England, especially now Kookkai is pregnant.

[tigerjohn]

Lets hope so as my Nan is back in hospital again too now. She has broken 2 ribs from Coughing so much.

We really hope they can get them out soon my wife is on Lady Inter and there is one waiting from 15th March so I presume thats Mrs Tigerjohn :-).

Dont worry about it, as long as the ukba havent!!

We have managed to get our application expediated as my grandmother is back in Hospital and I need to go back to help take care of her.

I sent a Doctors letter Thursday night and spoke to the Embassy just now and they said we will get an answer within 2-3 days.

She couldn't say if it would be granted or not just it will take 2-3 days before the passport is returned to VFS.

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome, the only Concern I have is I have £300K in Forex trading and I don't declare to the tax authorities as Forex earnings are non taxable in the UK same as Betting earnings. Although I sent statements they are internet statements however the withdrawals match my bank statements which I have highlighted for them to see. My wife also has £4,000 in savings herself anyway.

Other than that our application should be pretty straightforward. I am so nervous I am hardly sleeping at the moment. I need to get back but it'll be cruel for me to leave my pregnant wife in Thailand and I put that on the email to the Embassy.

hope it works out for you pal, the way it is i think you may have struggled for your june date to fly, so good luck,
