hi

will a uk wii work in thailand as im looking to get one for my step daughter

thank you

hi would i give a description of sole responsibility on the sponsors leter or do another letter explaing. we dont really have proof of that just copys of phone bills as for money we left there when we where there to save on banking costs

thanks

yes my step daughters father died many years ago and we have copy of death cert would that be enough to confirm sole responsibility ? and she as been with her grand mother since my wife came over 9 months ago so we are going to state that my wife came over first to find job and a suitable school which we now have a letter off the school stating that there would be no problem enroling her once in the uk

thanks

hi can someone advise me we going do a settlement visa for my step daughter on the 10th. who would be the sponsor is it me as i am a uk citizen or my wife who has a 2 yr settlement visa and has been in the uk for the past 9 months and has a job for the past 4 months part time

and what would we need to put on the sponsors letter

hi u can get those stats off the vfs website

These are the figures on the UK visa web site for February.

Settlement Visas 5 days 2% 10 days 9% 15 days 15% 30 days 69% 60 days 98% 90 days 100% 120 days 100% Applications per month 162

sumrit (or anyone else for that matter) do you have a link for the above site where you got your stats?

still waiting settlement visa for wife. submitted 2 feb and have not heard anything i emailed the embassy no reply as of yet contacted the vfs they know nothing her 1st visa took 5 days jan 08

I want to see what the average waiting times are for UK settlement visas as a lot of people seem to be waiting a long time without update.

If you have applied for a UK settlement visa in 2009, could you post when it was granted or if still waiting then state that you are still waiting or have interview pending and the date of the interview.

We submitted 2nd March - no interview request and no updates or contact from Embasy as yet (I kind of don't expect there this early).

We request date of travel as the end of March.

So 2 weeks.

How about yourself....................

hi

this is what im doing cos like ur self we had the tb cert and passport in her maiden name so we kept her maiden name when we married end of jan when we get visa which we are still waiting she will come to uk and when we go back for holiday we change her name at the ampur im not sure how to go about it but it should be straight forward as advised by lady in the ampur when we married. and change her passport in london cos we would have the papers etc from thailand with her change of name (this is just what im doing)

maybe someone as already done this and can advise more

hi guys

hope you can help

im coming to thailand in april and getting married to my thai g/f

she recently got her passport and certificate of health for tb of the doc in bkk

no problems there

both passport and tb certificate are in her present maiden name

the woman at the iom said she would need to come back and get a new certificate and her passport changed to her married name before she could apply for a settlement visa

is this true ?

what is the story for filling out this section on the application form for the visa

cheers johnny

we're in the same position - straightforward UK settlement application for my wife - sent to the British Embassy on 10 February - still waiting - its a relief to know that others are in the same boat as I was starting to get worried that something was wrong

hi all

i have been waiting since the 2nd feb and still nothing and its her 2nd visa first 1st was only 5 days to get this 1 is a settlement visa and so far its 6 weeks .
