Last Saturday

[phuketsiam]

Last Saturday my better half and my daughter breezed through immigration at Manchester airport to start a new life in England.

Its all thanks to The Scouser, I had been at loss on how to get a settlement visa for my Thai wife due to my personal circumstances at the time, and although our daughter holds a British passport, I wasn't willing to separate them. I contacted The Scouser and explained my circumstances and he immediately spotted a tactic we could we use. To cut a long story short, within 10 days of my wife submitting her application, without even having an interview, she was in possession of an EU family visa, giving her the right to stay and work in the UK, and the visa application fees came to just over 400 baht. To be honest it could have been quicker, but the ECO at the Bangkok embassy was unsure of the law and referred it to home office UK, but the scouser stayed on their backs and it was duly processed.

I have nothing but praise for the way he handled this application, and by taking advantage of EU law, was able to save me over 200 pounds in the short term, and 200 or so in the next 6 months and probably another 500 in the future, far more than his very reasonable fee for handling the application.

My daughter starts school next week, and my wife is scouring the area for asian supermarkets, thanks scouser, you did a great job, my only question is - can you fix it for Milan to have a serious off day in 2 weeks time

Cheers

And having boasted about your wife's cooking qualifications and skills, now she's in the UK there's no excuse for her not rustling up a bit of nosebag. I'm a gaeng kiaw wahn connoisseur, so it'll be a tough test for her to pass.

By the way, whilst on about culinary skills, I must say that I can heartily recommend Mrs. BoJangles' mussaman gai, too.

Scouse.

PS With regard to the Milan game, I could have a word with immigration at John Lennon International, but they're all bloody Toffees, and not even EU law allows nobbling of the opposition.
