Merangue Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 thought i'd copy this onto page 15I wonder how long it will take before the processing time returns to normal? Ie 2 weeks? I suspect never. What with the changes to applying plus the influx of applications from Vietnam etc i suspect it will be unlikely to get much better than a month at best.

muaylaosfalang Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Hello The first post i make is a most sad and distressing one for me,I live in the uk my thai wife and our 19 month old uk born daughter had a holiday in Thailand arrived 1/4/09 we submitted another settlement visa on 3/4/09 did the online application and submitted all the docs 3/4/09 tracking system states sent to uk embassy now i'm back in england wife and baby in isaan.Wife lands a bombshell and says she no longer wants to return to the uk to live with me and intends to keep our baby girl in Thailand the baby is british passport holder no dual nationality on a tourist visa valid 21/6/09.I still hope i can talk my wife round to return to uk with our baby once visa is issued but she is also talking of obtaining a thai passport also for our baby to counter any border runs and tighten her grip of custody of our baby.I realize there probably is no thai lawyers on here but i'm desperate for any help or advice.I've checked the net and seems embassy help is little to non and looks like dealing with Thai lawyers wise in family law is the other option.Though i hope i can sort our marriage out.Help anyone please.

I am unable to advise you but i hope someone here can. Perhaps it might be best to start a new thread of your own which may get more responses.

TickTock Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Good luck to those who have received replies. Mrburb, can you tell if I will win the lotto this week? You won't. Fair enough mrburb. Same probability of the Mrs. receiving a reply this week from our friends at the Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennkate Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The way I see it we should get ours tommorow. Gypsymoths wife got hers yesterday and she put the application in on the 13th 4 days before ours BUT that included the weekend so 2 working days. 24 hrs ????????? Thats MY thinking And it's all wishfull. Maybe not the way it will go. Plus having it sent up to Chang Mai maybe will have to wait untill the next day to collect. I only hope it's not sent up on Fri.
