It,s very annoying, frustrating and upsetting for you both and i sympethise.

It took me 12 months to turn a NO into a YES at the visa section of the home office and i married my Thai wife in the UK having lived together for over 12 months.

You will win, but you,ll need to keep your cool, record every thing from the time you met and get some good legal advise.It also can get expensive, I visited my wife in Udon Thani 4 times in 2003 just to spend time together to keep me sane. I unfortunately wasted 6 months thinking the system was fair and I could win on humanitarian gounds fighting the case on my own. You,re not dealing with people who care about your happyness together-- to the embassy even a delay is a win. AS Law in liverpool saved my life but there are many specialists who are good and some give free advise.

I won our appeal on Feb 13th 2004 and i,m still waiting for the visa to be stamped and returned to my wife so she can fly home -- more delaying tactics from the sore losers.

Good luck my friend-- it,ll be worth it.

Hi -- having waited 12 months to get my wife her visa and now almost broke from the many trips back and forth - we,ve won--hurray-- but need a good flight single ticket preferably bought in Bangkok by my wife as i,m here. Emerates can do it via dubai at £445-- Any one know of a travel agent in Bangkok who do it maybe cheaper for thai nationals ?
