I have known my boyfriend, Mr. Tim J Cooper, for more than six years after we met in April 2008. This is a serious relationship and we plan to get married and start a family in the near future. I miss and love my boyfriend very much and this will be my first time visiting the UK and I am looking forward to see his home country and to meet the members of his family for the first time. My boyfriend has visited myself in Thailand on more than ten occasions and, due to circumstances and family tragedies (family bereavements for both him and myself) beyond his and our control, he is unable to visit Thailand in the near future. This is the major reason for my request to visit him.
