Hi, I just got refused for a general visitor visa and I am wondering what I should or could do to appeal or reapply?
My situation is a bit complicated but I will try to explain as simply as possible. I am engaged to marry a British expat living in Turkey, and we plan to marry and continue living in Turkey (I am a Turkish female 24yo). My problem is I have recently graduated (4 months ago) and at the time of my first application was in unpaid training to work at a small company, which my boss would not sign off on due to Local Turkish laws. So, basically I am not officially working or studying. So the only thing I can think of to write on my application is that I am preparing for exams which is kind of true as I do plan to do my masters next year.
I also had an invitation letter from my fiance's mother who has offered to sponsor me 100% including flights, visa costs, accommodation, living, etc. although I decided not to mention that I was engaged to this persons son, only that he is a "friend" as I did not want them to question that I might plan to marry in the UK which I was not planning to do.
The reason they rejected me was mostly because they said as my parents couldn't prove their income, I couldn't prove how I was supporting myself in Turkey and therefore they can not trust that I will return to my country... From what I have read I guess it is not possible to appeal this type of visa, unless I am wrong? But am I able to reapply?
I am about to start officially working for the above mentioned company as of next week but my huge worry is that if I suddenly tell them in a new application that I am now working, they will wonder why the hell my last application said that I was only preparing for exams, and it will look like I am either lying or have just acquired this job just to get my visa? So what can I do? I would very much like to meet my boyfriends mother before my actual wedding later this year :'(
Thank you for reading such a long post, I would appreciate any opinions from anyone at all!
