Certified isn't necessarily notarised. I won't be visiting a Notary Public with any forms that I complete.

I was bashing the content - which was dumb. I don't know you so I can't comment on whether you are dumb or not.

That would be a fairly dumb move...................do you think other banks will notfollow suit?

Why?

Another occasion when you are wrong with your assumptions.

You are confusing Thais with Westerners

Regrettably, I also have evidence that supports your comments.

As does any 20 Baht shop.....

Agree. There is usually a batch of 20+ Russians doing 39 day extensions.

Your paranoia is affecting the quality of your posts...

Well, that is 15 minutes of my life that I won't get back.

No they haven't.......................not without a court order.

Troll! What happens in Thailand (where no national insurance contributions are made) is irrelevant as far as UK state pensions are concerned. Now....crawl back under your bridge.

Fortunately your opinion counts for Jack. Of course the government should give its citizens what they are legally entitlement. Now move on and cut out your racism.

Your every international movement (or lack of it) is logged on the system - not just in your passport.

That would, of course, be pointless as they have access to Immigration records, etc.

😂😂😂

There have been many informative posts (some less so) on this thread which I hope will serve to guide those thinking of taking their partners to the USA. Frankly, it is an appalling, discriminatory process with a ridiculously long waiting period for an appointment. For those who thought I was trolling .....get a life!

I understand what you say but I don't think there is evidence to support that I just don't like unfairness. This is unfair. They are a stable, financially secure, mature couple with a track record of adherence to visa/entry requirements.

Absolutely disgraceful.

You would like to think that but the Mods know differently. Read my previous post and improve your comprehension.

The applicant us not my partner; I was referencing the fact I am unmarried, I fully financially support her. My income and assets are in the UK and she has assets if 10m+ Baht in Thailand......and she has multiple visas.
