Do previous rejections impact future visas?

[sohois]

Hello,

Last year my girlfriend tried to get a general visitor visa for Christmas to visit with the family. However, she was rejected on the grounds that they didn't believe she had sufficient ties to China to return. I can't say it was a massive injustice as she had no job at the time, only savings to tie her back.

Anyway, we are looking to apply again for the summer and she has become convinced that the rejection is an utter disaster that will make it impossible to get approved. Now, nothing I've ever heard has lead me to believe it will have much effect on future applications.

Is anyone here familiar with what kind of impact this prior rejection can have?

Thanks

Yours is a classic example of temptation to hide information when filling form. Yes previous rejections affect future applications, unless the situation has changed significantly to address the previous rejection issues.

Well, on the subject of your first sentence, we have thought about her simply applying for a visitor visa on her own without mentioning me or my family, which would be a significant change, I presume.

And she would apply with a job this time as well

Have a keen look in this guidance document and please make yourself and applicant aware of the latest credibility and intentions:

How would you or applicant justify in second application of relationship in new application while in first one she hasn't mentioned it at all.

A job on its own may not necessarily provide sufficient evidence to the ECO about applicant's ties to home country and that she would return to home country.

So she's going to lie..well that's a sure fire way to get another refusal, and a 10 year ban.

Best to just reapply in the same way then, I'm guessing.
