I have been keeping constant eyes over this forum for the last 1 year and today I have been fully rewarded for my vigilance and awareness. A BIG THANK you to those who have guided me in this forum and also to those who shared their refusal reasons so that others do not have to go through the pains and suffering which the "sharers" had to go through.
The approval of my visa has cemented my belief in the saying - "Where there is a will......there is a way".
