How realistic can I approach my refusal?
Hello. I basically received a refusal with the reason attached. I am 28, I live and work full time in Germany for the past 7 years but I hold a Filipino passport. My Canadian boyfriend of 4 years provided my invitation letter. How do I realistically approach this “significant family ties” in my next application? I literally am living alone, no family/siblings living and existing I can vouch for. Do relatives count? But they live on the other side of the world and I rarely talk to them. I have no properties under my name. Me and my boyfriend already travelled to multiple countries and I have obtained different visit visas as well. I don’t think this is a problem financial-wise as well since it’s not mentioned. Initial plan is to do 15 days for the Christmas and new year holidays. What else can I do to prove I will actually leave the country after my visit? Is this a dead-end? Marriage is not YET an option.
