Oh very good question. Might be a bit of a spaghetti agains the wall thing to do, but perhaps there's some kind of group on Facebook. This is such a niche, I can't think of anything off the top of my head unless there's something on Fishbowl someone knows of!

I'm not particularly sure about this. I am not a member of any group. But I will ask around and see if I can get some insights.

Hi there! I think there are some groups on Facebook. You might want to try on LinkedIn too.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

I haven't been on here for months. Just got caught up in life and this crazy year. I am so glad to see many more of you have joined this group, because I don't know about you, but I am surrounded by people at work who think the opposite of the way I do. And right now, there is so much going on that I am terribly upset about and cannot talk about it at work unless I seek out the few who are conservative and have my values. Glad we have found each other here!
