When you say you have been 'together for just under a year', have you actually met?

[Lachloe]

No we have not met as yet, but we really want to I know this sounds crazy but I just want him to come and see me

Well he can of course apply for a visitor visa, but in order for the application to be successful he will have to submit evidence of strong ties to his home country in order to convince the Entry Clearance Officer that he will return without overstaying. Is he employed or studying? Does he own property in Jamaica or have family members dependent on him?
Why don't you visit him in Jamaica first?

[Lachloe]

Ok but if I Send him an invitation letter aswell to say that I will support him in he's time here will that help? He has a son in Jamaica that is dependent on him so of course he wouldn't out stay he's stay as he wants to do everything properly, because I currently can't get the time of work to go out there,

His greatest challenge is to convince the ECO that he will do 'everything properly' and not overstay. Is he permanently employed in Jamaica? Can he submit evidence that his son is dependent on him?
How long does he intend to visit for?

Or you could visit him in Jamaica??

Lachloe says she can't get the time off from work.

... but that won't cut much ice with the tin men of UKVI (visitor visa division).

[Lachloe]

What do you mean that won't cut much ice?

What do you mean that won't cut much ice?

Inability to take leave will not meet with much sympathy from hard-hearted caseworkers who apply rules for visit visas dispassionately.

Applicants' convenience is not a consideration.

[Lachloe]

okay so you think if i send an invitation letter for a visiting visa for him to get here it could be successful? I'll be going to Jamaica next year in June to see him aswell do you think I should state that in the letter
