Well done and good luk to you both

HI not sure if it will make a differance, But probably the scouser or someone with more know how will be able to shade some light on it

Hi there thaiwalker we used Express translation service in ploenchit Bangkok found first class and resonable cost and they were quick they speak english in there as well,and they also get it certified by embassey for you at a small cost,we have used them a few times found them very good,

Hi gave the 0.5p a minute one a go but at the moment it says something like network full ,so i will still use the 1p a minute to call thai mobile ,but will try the 0.5p agian the see if it works.

HI there toasted regarding your kol test looks ok but i must point out how are thai etc expected to get questions right when the people that write the questions cannot get it right them self's like question

18 What is the minimum age to drive a car or motorcycle?

16

17

18

21

they say 17 b.

Well that is wrong correct age is 16 if you are dissabled

So it says a lot that the people that know know nothing themself's

pete

HI toasted just check when you do the ilr that you have the right set m form's as the goverment seem to change them quite a lot now the forms are from 18 august 2008, but i was told that there is a new set m coming out next month, so just check when you go to do your ilr you got right form's,or they will not except it and send it back to you.

Also on the set m forms dated 18 august it says

A relevant ESOL qualification - if below Entry Level 3, you must show that you have progressed by at least one level and that the course included citizenship materials;So you need to get entry level 3 if you can or get 1 or 2 and show you have progressed up a level.

ESOL is the easy course and your wife should mybe get it for free after 1 year in uk, or if you are getting tax credits. ESOL is easy comperd to Life in the uk test which has lots of stuiped question's which even English people do not know the answer's,so go down the esol route for your wife,

all the best pete

Hi all just being on to home office about set m form's regarding a question and that was ok, Then the lady told have i got the correct form's i said yes form 18 august 2008, she said thats ok but be aware that there is a new form coming out next month 14/15 november . and new forms maybe questions will have changed or you have to provide more things etc.

So make sure you have correct form or they will refuse it and keep your money.

"If she wishes to stay in the UK, and can substantiate the allegations of abuse, she can apply to the BIA for indefinite leave to remain. However, the abuse will need to be documented and the BIA will expect to see police reports, hospital records, womens shelter records, social worker reports etc."

Allegtions of abuse can mean a free pass to stay in that Country. It works that way in the USA.

Could she be setting the guy up I wonder? A tactical ploy that I'm sure that most of these spouses learn on the Thai telegraph.

Hi there pad thai guy

the girl in question is not making it up or trying to set the guy up ok it is for real

we are only trying to help like any law obiding person

thanks everyone for your answer's i will pass this on tommorow ok.
