I had to pay a lot of money and very complicated requirements, including an interview to obtain UK, US and Schengen visa.
And even then there is no guarantee we'll get it.
Several years ago we applied for a visa to the UK to visit a child who lives and works in London. It was not the first time applying for a visa. We meet all requirements including confirmed return tickets; fully paid as we were sure there would no problem considering the previous 6x was also no problem. We also have valid US and schengen Visa.
But apparently our application was rejected with the reason "there is no good reason to visit the UK". The money we paid, over GBP 1200 just disappeared. When we appealed, we received an answer that the visitor visa applicant had no right to appeal.
