Not really within 2 months, so I have the time for a visa, but I want to stay at her place and not in some hotel. Now I've been searching a lot on the net lately for possibilities, and I found this site yesterday! Have to say it really sounds great. Still, I am wondering if it truly is the best option to arrange the invitation (so to book) by the partner of this website, but not stay at the hotel, and don't have to pay either, cos is it a legal thing to do or is it not really? Other thing is a private visa, but thats a hell of a job I did read, for her to arrange. And does the ovid or whats the service called again? also want her to have enough money to care about me? How many people from this board here, have arranged an invitation for a visa by the site and did it all go smooth? and what do you guys advice me?
