That in itself is no justification for say it is a preferred method of delivery. My niece is an Obs & Gny surgeon and C sections are her thing. She is extremely busy and it has nothing to do with preference, problems arise for a variety of reasons with many down to lifestyle. Alongside the more common problems there is an increasing number of babies that are growing above the safe size for the Thai pelvis plus both mental health and substance abuse issues are on the increase. You cannot always take stats at face value.

I am perfectly aware that United Nations is not a country. Fairly obvious that my comment about "hands behind their back" went over your head. Nations should be united with a seconded force that is authorised to stand up to aggression.

Cheers, but she needs to be close to the BTS. She will be at the hospital near the stop before the RTAF. Unfortunately no onsite accommodation at the moment but that may change at some point.

It is not really strange, it is there to stop delays with people messing with phones. When I have done it the IO has just cross checked the visa number and handed the printout back, all very quick. Last time, IO threw me a bit, on looking at it she said "when is your birthday", had to think for a minute and then said "today", she laughed and said "Happy Birthday".

There has never been an issue over time married. The possibility of marriage of convenience is addressed by using witnesses and having home visits. What you say may well be true and a wind of change is blowing but I have to say I doubt it. There are many issues that arise with first time applications and usually something that needs to be addressed. Hope your next attempt has a better outcome.

You need to clarify a bit better your status and what actually transpired. The assumption would be that you tried to convert either visa exempt or tourist visa to a non o extension based on marriage. The rejection may well have been with the documents and misunderstood what the IO was saying. It could have been advice and that an extension based on dependent children wouldn't have the same problem. The root problem needs to be addressed before making another attempt.

Of course you are free to believe that buying fertiliser from Russia doesn't do anything for the Putin war machine. Appears the anti EU sentiment removes the logical thought process. Fertilizers were the most-imported commodity to the U.S. from Russia in the first 11 months of 2024, with a value of almost one billion U.S. dollars, followed by non-ferrous metals and inorganic chemicals. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1306859/us-imports-by-commodity-from-russia/

Visas do not expire, when the conditions of issue have been satisfied they are flagged as used. Your visa status will remain under the conditions of issue until it lapses, renewed or converted.

Give over with the distorted argument. There is very little in it. US trade deficit with Russia is $2.5 billion, EU trade deficit is EUR 2.1 billion. Obviously you prefer to forget the EU population is double that of the US. The EU has tabled a plan to end trade dependency with Russia by 2027, what date has the US planned for? Remind us, what level of tariff was imposed on Russia.

A bit like how long is a piece of string. Next month my niece has to go and live in BK for a year and has been looking at condo prices. She will be on the BTS route alongside DM airport and could see availability around 10-12K. Last week she said that prices now seem to have dropped significantly, particularly the high rise.

Indeed, Tories shot themselves in the foot, and now labour. Does the country have to wait until they all do the same. A national emegency should be declared, government stood down and an election called for a unity coalition government.

If the UN didn't have it's hands tied behind it's back, this could have been sorted before it begun. When Russian forces began building up on the Ukraine borders the UN should have been deployed to Ukraine. This is a global issue, not a US or European one. The concept of "might is right" should never be allowed to prevail.

Americans choose to forget that if it wasn't for Europeans there wouldn't be a USA, just another emerging economy.

I got my yellow book in May 2010 when on ME visas, never did a TM30 till 2015.

My TM30 is dated Aug 2015 and been out of the country more times than I can remember, never had a problem. I keep expecting them to say a new one is required, beginning to look a bit tatty.
