Spouse Visa In Bkk After Overstay In The Uk

[yorkieb]

Dear Forum

My fiancee came to the UK in 2007 to marry but had a problem with her divorce paper not being recognised here in the UK dispite been vetted and issued a fiancee visa in BKK. Anyway to cut a long story short we applyed for an extionsion in the UK to resolve the issue but were refused. Upon advised from an imigration lawyer and barrister we were told we had grounds for a Judicial review against the Home Office. The processing of the JR has ironically bought us enough time to resolve the divorce paper issue and we were married a couple of days ago.

So to the detail of my question :

We feel it would better for my wife's immigration record to now return to BKK and reapply for a spouse visa through the accepted channels at the embassy in BKK. Rather than fighting through a JR in the Uk (which we must face that we may not actually win) and then spouse visa in the UK.

I appreciate that nobody here can prejudge any future application, but in your opinions would you see any restriction/objection to my wife reapplying with he UK marriage certificate and all the documentation detailing the JR and its withdrawal, in BKK.

Christ just read the post detailing General Grounds for Refusal changes.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does 7.23 apply to us and automatically exclude any application.

The new rules kick in on 1 April, so I'd ensure that your wife gets her application in before then. However, the caprice of the embassy in Bangkok knows no limits, so how they interpret your circumstances is anyone's guess.
