for more than 12 months in an 18-month period.) Good points they mentioned that she did not over stay on her previous visa. Only the new proposed entry date is the problem but they it was already refused the application.. Sana email muna kami change ko invitation letter to July and this case we would like to reapply for July as entry date on March .
On reason why wanted her to return immediately because I'm giving birth and also both of us our working so sana we would like to be with us for a year.
Is there anyone here with the same case.
Did you re-apply it , did it get approve?
