If you are refused a Family Visit Visa for whatever reason, will this affect your application for spouse visa. Both parties married, met twice in the flesh. Wife in Philippines has family to return to... but no job property children etc.

Solicitor in UK has advised not to apply for Visit Visa as this will have consequences on Future Spouse Visa application if refused.

Couple just want to be together but worried what to do?

Would appreciate members comments.

Many Thanks,

Sheldon
