My son gets married at the beginning of August which seemed a long way off, but then my daughter is expecting her second child this week and when we applied in March I told her we'd definitely be back for when she had the baby, after all it was three months away. Even August is looking close now.

Yeah you'l need lots of chillies and it aint eazy to find unripe green pappaya. well it aint eazy around here in north wales. Its all going yellow by the time it hits the shelves. Yeah come on you marchers. Us aprilers need you all done soon lol........ Good luck to you all

you can buy green papaya in Indian supermarket, it's cheaper then Chinese s/m.

My thoughts entirely! Come on Visa Gods, lay down some Visa's!!

[drink75]

Aaaaaaaaaaagh! The visa tracking page is not working.... Say's 'Service Unavailable'!!

Now what am I going to look at every hour for the rest of the day?

Same same. Perhaps it was never designed to have this much traffic (outstanding applications) hitting their systems.

EDIT No it was not it was Monday What A Plonker I was for posting that

Are they working Overtime to clear the Backlog ?? V.F.S informed us on the 17th By SMS See Edit Line 3.

All Mobile Phones Too Busy on Monday Chatting to the mates about the weekend to text People waiting for visa's.

The Visa Stamp will be put on automaticaly by machine.

Unless they are working the weekend the machine date is wrong ????

"No You Burk it was me who was Wrong".

Come on. Its horrible waiting to see movement even though we have ours, I feel the pain

Chewy Tomorrow. If we go to Lamphun I will ask the Lady for you OK Kate is 100% sure she did the trick.

Ken The 15th June was Monday according to my calender , and the 17th is today, not yesterday, you've still got your head in the clouds haven't you :D

[gypsymoth]

Congrats kenkate!!

The journey through imigration was a breeze took 30 seconds mind you we were lucky there were no ques!!

After all the waiting we get some breaks. Coming back there were big queues for us, but in BKK the guy on the Thai passport only stand stamped me out, and at Heathrow the UK only guy stamped us both in, so hardly any waiting after all. One tip though, have TB cert handy cos they will want to see that to go through the quick UK passports barrier.

[JASON THAI]

Well the VFS tracking page is now working again and I have just checked and guess what YES YES YES it's still the same as before oh well I guess I will check again tomorrow for the same answer most likely

[Merangue]

If you are trying to get Green Papaya try googling Raanthai mate. I am lucky in that it is only a mile or so from my house but you can orer it online for home delivery.

If you are near the M53 (other side of chester) then Raan thai is only just off Junction 3.

[AndyJoy]

Thanks merangue i hope i will soom be able to take my wife to ruanthai. Its not to far from here and i think she would prefer it to wing yips in manchester... Good luck to all for tommorow....

[ubonjoe]

The stress must be getting to you guys. You have taken it off topic to buying Green Papaya and other Thai food .

I think there should be some more good news this week so don't let it get to you.

Go easy on the tracking page I think you all broke it yesterday.

[spot]

Congratulations to those who have so far had success. I hope the wait isn't too long for the rest in the queue...

Just a quick question: How many waiting here have a joint child (Thai/Brit) who will also travel to the UK if the mother is granted a visa?

[Boo]

on Tuesday my mate called the embassy (actual embassy) and got through to the actual ECO who had the case on his desk, he needed more info on bank accounts cause the fax received about 3 weeks ago wans't clear (3 weeks ago!!!!!) but said once they had the new copies then a desicion would be give n in 2 days, so docs faxed for them to see wednesday morning, result should be heard tomorrow!? They will update me as soon as they hear but will have to travel from Samui to get the result so Monday will be the day they find out.

Hi Spot, yeah I have a son 50/50 10mnth old now not seen him for 8wks, he has dual passports British/Thai, it really pisses me off that I have not yet been able to bond with my son due to this waiting game we are all enduring,

good luck for today chaps!

congrates K&K you lucky so & so
