Am I misinterpreting this? Have the two of you actually met? In the sense of being in the same room and looking at each other eyeball to eyeball?I believe that at least one visit is required before we can apply for a fiancée visa
You need to have met and until you have what you do have amounts to no more than a penfriend.Enquirer77 wrote:I believe that at least one visit is required before we can apply for a fiance visa, so it is important that I now visit her in Uzbekistan and then return again for another visit to apply for the fiance visa.
Hey get real here! You have not even met face-to-face and already the subject of marriage has come up!No, the two of us have not met face to face yet, The purpose of the VV was to arrange the first meeting and a stay of several weeks in the UK.
Phil, I don't think it quite that bad, but it is certainly very difficult. Which is why I emphasise above about the need for the application to be well-prepared. I know of quite a few people who have successfully obtained VVs for their girlfriends, or boyfriends, in Bangkok and that was even with a full admission of a "romantic attachment".philgeorge999 wrote:If someone applying for a UK visitors visa admits that they have a girlfriend/boyfriend/fiancé in Britain then they will be rejected 90% of the time. From 3rd world countries, rejections are more like 99% of the time. Never EVER admit to romantic attachments on a visitors visa application. The automatic assumption of consular officials is always that the applicant will overstay in Britain.
With Skype do you get a detailed list of the calls made? In other words, thinking ahead to when she applies for a UK visa, is there good evidence of the calls being made? "Evidence of contact" is very important.regarding the cheaper phone charges, were you going to suggest Skype.com? Free Internet phonecalls
Please believe me with regard to private visas - they are next t oimpossible to get, dealing wiht OVIR is a nightmare, belive me. My girlfriend made eight visits to OVIR in an attempt to get me a private visa (early days!) and we gave up - OVIR is world famous for it's innefficiency.Enquirer77 wrote:My girlfriend has already applied for my private visitor invitation through the OVIR office, processing time 1 month. Then it goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and hopefully after another 5 days they then send rhe invitation to the Uzbekistan embassy in London, who in turn send the invitation tome,rhen I can apply for the visa.This visa should be valid for 6 months. Alternatively, I could apply for a tourist visa, valid for 30 days, without an invitation. This can be obtained within 3 days.
