[quote=GUEST13852,269402]To Guest39245, I can relate to your experience. I am UK citizen, currently living in Shanghai for 3 years. I have been with my Chinese girlfriend for the last year or so and we live together in downtown Shanghai. I wanted to take her back to UK for xmas just gone to meet my family and our first Visitor Visa application was turned down, apparently because they thought she just wanted access to the UK to claim benefits (even though I had to disclose my salary of £120k, which while not rich is still more than adequate not to require state handouts!) We re-applied with literally reams of paperwork to support the application, including evidence of her employment for last 4 years, evidence of her savings (I transferred RMB50k into a savings account in her name just so the authorities could see she had her own means!). Fortunately, we got the visitor visa and had the best xmas and new year with my family ever. I agree with your comment that the uk entry officers have probably been instructed by their bosses to reduce the number of visas granted - but you can probably get there if you keep trying![/quote]
