Will my second application get refused because of (320)11. How do I convince the ECO that I am a Changed Person?

[Jordan30296]

Hi Guys,

I will be sending off my visa application next week in June. I am certain I will meet every requirement but I am not too sure about the Suitability Requirement since I was refused my last visa application due to suitability, relationship, and financial requirement.

I will be reapplying for exercising access rights to child visa. I now have a court order and so many documents that I did not have in my first application.

But I am concern that the ECO will refuse me with (320)11 frustrating the intentions of the immigration rules. I have provided my FBI National Criminal History to prove that I have no criminal history in my home country (USA), a letter from my church stating that I am a changed person, good character, etc and a cover letter.
But is that enough to convince the ECO that I am no longer that person I was when I was visiting the UK in 2015? My child was born in 2018.

I know that 320(11) is a discretional refusal but do I still have a chance of getting approved if I can just convince them that I changed? What else documents should I provide for the Suitability requirement? I really want to avoid an appeal if I do get refused. That will take up to a year and my child is growing every day. I don't want to miss any more days of her life.

Thank you so much.
