You were still denied a spouse visa? Did they tell you why? Sorry, that's a rhetorical question, don't answer it, it's personal.
UK has always been pretty strict on immigration because so many people want to come in for the wrong reasons, it's unfortunate you're caught up in this.
Hopefully we'll see you in a year's time. Btw, you going to Hivefest by any chance?
It's complicated.
Until I began this whole process, I think ignorance is bliss best describes my approach. Had I applied in say, January, I don't think we'd be talking about it. I was told in a roundabout word-salad way by immigration that my timing is all wrong. I'm ok with it, really, if by not processing my application grants someone desperately seeking refuge their asylum then so be it. I can accept that.
Negative. Shortly after I met you is when we received word from immigration. It forced us to reconsider all unplanned overhead. Guess that's what we get for making plans.
