Alright, thanks for the advice. I will look into that. Finally when do you suggest i can make that application? And how long does it take for the decision to be made on the visa?
Thanks again.


Sorry, your future application for any visit visa will be denied. You can go ahead and reapply explaining the situation regarding your overstay as you have done here, and see whether the ECO will have compassion on you, which I doubt. I have already provided to you on an alternative route to the UK, certainly not with a visitor visa anymore.

ekpotek:



Your current financial status is more of the reason you will not be granted a visit visa again.

Brightingsus:


@ Ekpotek, you are recommending marriage as if a wouldn't propose to a woman before marriage can happen. Lol.

ekpotek:


You are free to reapply anytime as long as you have the money to pay for the application.

Brightingsus:

Thanks for this suggestion and I appreciate it - it makes my worrying less. As for evidence of the burial I can provide proof as well as feeding, day to day activities which were spent either at my boyfriends house or his mums. And yes the burial was in The uk.


@Davr,

You can apply anytime you have the cash for the application. But you must address some things. You have to explain to the ECO the details of the burial which you talked about, not only in words but in evidence. I suppose the funeral was in the UK. You would have to provide details like the death certificate and list out your role during the funeral. Do not focus on providing a generic overview of the activities at the funeral. You must list your day to day activities as an individual and why your presence was needed in the UK all that time. People sometimes overstay when it's practically inevitable, e.g. on medical grounds when it's not medically advisable to travel. All you need is provide compelling reason and evidence. You have to provide details of how you were fed and taken care of all through the overstaying period.

That's definitely the right approach, but even with all of this it's highly unlikely she'll be issued a visa. Visits can be extended for compassionate purposes, but this needed to be applied for while she was in still in the UK. As this wasn't done, UKVI are going to treat her as an overstayer.

Hey bro, was it priority? How long did it take from biometric to collection mail? I am begining to get apprehensive about mine.

ekpotek:


Not yet. Maybe you can start one and share your experience. There seem to be an increase in UK work related visa questions and issues here. @Justwise what do you think?
