Happened to me. Just bought a flexible ticket for a few hundred quid more. Approved next day.

It's usually a positive sign that proves you're showing commitment. Wait a week to 10 days and hopefully you'll be successful.🤞

Buy the ticket with all the cancellable and change options available. Its not unreasonable to ask for this

But those options make the ticket much more expensive.

Buy a plane ticket? It didn't work without so... The requirements are constantly changing and becoming stricter. If they ask for a plane ticket, I believe you’ll need to provide one to avoid being denied.

Anonymous participant 318 yeah best for him/her to just book a refundable one that can be cancelled for a small fee in case of the visa being denied
