I'm sorry to hear that -- she belongs to the demographic that has the most trouble getting a visa -- young, single women.

Wink there you go...
...either they're deemed as too young and too eligible or they're too old, desperate & a significant flight risk...

Why to blame those people who just want to live a place they prefer?
I know it is not practical that everyone lives in a place where they like.
But I don't think they should be blamed by that. It is some human ideal.

Actually, also blame the Chinese Government for not accepting back Chinese citizens who have left China illegally, entered another country and been caught. No matter how hard the other country tries, China won't accept them.

Tafnap. Have you considered going down the road of booking her a holiday through a travel agent where they arrange the flights, accomodation and the visa. It will prove more expensive but its almost guaranteed that they will grant the visa plus..........i do know someone who did this but struck a deal with the agent that they did not have to pay for the accomodation although the agent supplied documentation of the hotel and booking for visa purposes.

Mongrels they are in there. I'm about to go in there and teach these wankers a lesson in international relations! Mongrels, its about time I went in there and cracked a few skulls.

Friggin' public servants! All they do is sit on their fat arses all day (and they are big as I've seen them when they came and bailed me out of jail last time I was in Shaghai), they do nothin', they whinge, suck us taxpayers dry... actually sounds like a bloody good job! Not too different from what I'm doing now!

Listen up tafnap - when you do get your sheila "down under" swing by Cessnock and I'll treat you to the all-u-can-eat Chinese Buffett at the RSL. She'll be gaggin' for it after mate from all the friggin' MSG!

Your culture vulture

Nonsense. Most likely human rights activists in that other country are making trouble, actually helping their best buddies, the "snake heads".
