UK Vistor Visa From Ukraine

[DavLissy]

Hello everyone, been reading all the questions & answers on here and wonder if anyone can advise me.

I have a Ukrainian G/F, we've been together since Jan 2011, we've met in Berlin, Kiev(4 times) and while she was working in Norway i visited her 6 times, she's also been to my home in UK 5 times, but only from Norway, she is now back in Ukraine and not in employment, she does have a bank account with funds, she owns her own house too. So my question is: what would be her chances of gaining a visitor visa to UK from Ukraine given the above information that we can prove with photo's, airline tickets, passport stamps etc etc, would it go against her that she is no longer in employment??? any advise would be useful, thanks in advance, David.

I may be slim as she doesn't have strong ties to Ukraine i.e. job and she has a boyfriend in the UK. Are you planing on marrying?

In the future, not just yet though.

How did she visit you from Norway? She must have had a UK visit visa so that would stand her in good stead for another....

I think they met in Norway rather than in the UK.

Sorry, I missed that. However, she had a jobs when visiting from Norway, she's now unemployed.

Agree, but five UK visits and returns under her belt might help?

Thanks for the replies.
She applied for and received 2 x 6 month visa from Norway for UK, and travelled here and returned to Norway 5 times in 18 months, but like i say, she was in full time work in Norway, i hear its quite difficult for single woman to get visa from Ukraine.

Hi, my gf from ukraine got a general visit visa in december 2013 and she was employed at the time and also had property in ukraine. she attached a translated copy of her property documents, tickets, hotel booking etc. I believe showing that she has property in ukraine might help prove ties to her country. Also, your gf already has been to the uk and left in time - so i guess that goes in her favour too.
Best of luck!
