Hello! (And special greetings to Ms. Cindy Murphy). I can see that she is the most helpful of all.

I am very impressed of how helpful and informative this forum is. Hence, I decided to post my own concern. I am really hoping that someone can help me on this.
Here's my relationship profile with my boyfriend:
> I am 23 years old from Philippines. He is 24 years old from Belgium
> We met in Jordan 7 months ago. I was a waitress, he was a tour leader
> We've been in a relationship for 7 months now
> I already met his family when they visited him in Jordan
> We've done a lot of traveling together both in Jordan and in Philppines
> He came here for a visit last November. He stayed for 3 weeks which means with a handful of photos and other documents to prove our relationship
Now here's what happened. I applied for a Tourist Visa. I didn't have a job at that time because I thought it not wise to leave from work for 3 months. We did have the intention of getting married in Belgium but of course I didn't mention that during the short interview I had with the Embassy. I just received the news that the visa was denied and now we are considering for applying a Fiance Visa. My concerns are as follows:
1. Will the Embassy accuse me of fraud given that I didn't initally mention my intent of staying in Belgium when I first applied for a Tourist Visa?
2. Is there a possibility of being banned from the country due to this?
3. Is there really a chance for me to have a Fiance Visa given the circumstance mentioned?
4. Can I just reapply as early as next month?
Your response to this concern will be highly appreciated. My boyfriend and I are very much stressed out because of this. We are not sure which step to take so I hope someone from here can really give us some information that might help.
Thank you in advance.

Additional notes: I know it sounds crazy that we already wish to be married even tho we've been together for not even a year long. But the truth is, we really are very much in love and we intend to spend the rest of our lives together. This is also not a typical mail-to-order bride situation. No disrespect to anyone but I'm not from a poor family who lives in a remote province. I am a career driven woman with a degree in Tourism Mgt from one of the top universities in my country and had to sacrifice her career in the Cruiseline and/or Airline industry for this relationship.
