Can I get a visitor visa invitation from a non UK student living in the UK?
I'm new to the community. My friend moved to Leicester, UK, for 1 and a half years in order to continue her masters degree in a well known university. I want to visit her, but taking a standard visitor visa from my country (Lebanon) is a little hard to do. My question is, can she send me an invitation letter that can help me to assure accepting my visa ??
If anyone have any tips how to assure accepting my visitor visa in any other ways I'd be grateful for any help.

Anyone with whom a visa applicant has a genuine personal or professional relationship can invite them to visit. If the person inviting you to visit is in the UK, they must not be in breach of immigration law at the time of the decision on your application, or your entry to the UK.
