Request for my girlfriend to visit me here in Malta

Requested from BI by G. Cueto at 07:47 PM on Sep 25, 2022.
Purpose: To present in IO FOR COMPLIANCE
Date of Coverage: 09/25/2022 - 09/25/2022
Tracking no: #BI-653079969063

Cueto 07:47 PM, Sep 25, 2022 

Hope all is well. I invited my gf thru friend visa. So she can visit me here in Malta. But she was offloaded. The IO ask us to provide an Affidavit of Support from Philippines Consulate in Malta and yes its provided. But then the IO did not accept it. They said its need to be an Affidavit of Support within 4th degree. We are confused, on how she will have this since she is only my girlfriend.

Please allow her to travel for atleadt 2weeks here in Malta. She have the affidavit of support, written that she is my girlfriend and I am her sponsor.

Thank you.
