@Kevin *****
No all I see is the coastguard and rnli helping them on board and dropping them off at dover in my home country can you imagine that here. Can you imagine if all jobs were done back to front. In my home country thats whats happening. Police dont investigate crimes, judges dont jail criminals, people walk into shops fill their bags with shopping and dont have to pay.

James DiCocco you can create a word document with all documents then in word when you save it choose save as and select pdf document then use that file when you upload to check all documents are saved as pdf you can download a free software called foxit pdf dont bother with adobe its rubbish with foxit you can add multiple pages as a document ps. I dont like online pdf software as you are uploading personal information to an unknown server and could be compromised somewhere down the line.

i had my gf over a few times. The main thing is to prove funds, at least £150 for everyday that she is there and an itiniery. Showing places you two will visit price of hotel, food roughly we just put 50 per day for food hotel price per night and entrance fees for places, she needs letter from her manager at work to show she is going to return home payslips for last 6 months if i remember correctly proof she has her own property contract for rental or book for home dont over think just coach her on what they may ask her why does she want to visit? She is going to visit her boyfriend, she will stay with you and that she has an interest in the history of england, wants to experience a different culture and that she will be visiting places with you. M me i can give you an itiniery to show you your side but the main thing is the bank statements, proof of home and enough money to cover her trip, letter from her manager just saying she has leave to go to uk between x and y dates
