Without attacking me, I wonder if anyone has an opinion on the visa chances of a women who is an obvious sex worker who is in a , so far, reasonable short term relationship with a Brit national.

I know we dont like to admit it but many people have married ex / current sex workers and I wonder f the success rate falls than in relationships with non-sex workers.

Thanks

Firstly, UK visa statistics are broken down simply into applications received and visas issued, rejected or application withdrawn. The applicant's past or current occupation is not included.

Neither are reasons for refusal.

However................

Someone applying to come to the UK, in any category, who admitted to currently being a sex worker would almost certainly be refused; the assumption being that they want to enter the UK to continue that profession and not for the reasons stated in the application.

However, someone who previously worked in that area, and may even have met their British partner through that work, but does so no longer will not be penalised for their previous employment; provided they are honest and open about it in their application.

Ex Bar Girls do get UK visas; liars don't.

The length of the relationship is also a factor. There is no minimum length for a relationship required in the immigration rules, merely that the couple have met, but the ECO has to be satisfied that the relationship is genuine and lasting. Obviously, the shorter the relationship, the more difficult this will be to do.

Note to all.

Keep replies to the topic; which is UK visas. Off topic replies will be deleted and appropriate action taken against any offenders.
