Yeah, that's what we're concerned about. There wasn't a registered advisor anywhere near to us that had anything available for a couple of months. The solicitor we've been talking to advertises as specialising in immigration law and had lots of positive reviews in regards to this but, as you said, i...

Sorry, I think I added this to my previous post while you were replying: It was something that we discussed with the solicitor but I'm still awaiting a decree absolute, should be complete in the next 2-3 months (marriage ended 10 years ago) which is why I think he advised we couldn't apply for this ...

You applied for a marriage visit visa, which means to get married and then leave the UK and as a visit visa category, the applicant must show evidence of strong ties to home country, the personal and financial circumstances evidence to prove they are a genuine visitor and will leave the UK.

Of course - here it is: Refusal of a visit visa Your application for a visit visa to the United Kingdom has been refused. How your application was considered You have applied for a visa to visit the UK In deciding w...

Apparently, this isn't information they hav...
