theoldgit Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm not one for sticking up for UK Visas in Bangkok, but to be fair they have realised that the application was refused in error and at they have reversed the decision pretty quickly, I don't know if that was as a result of a phone call or because of the case being reviewed by the ECM or the Head of Section. Of course the refusal shouldn't have happened and what they put Tick Tocks family through is pretty bad, but at least the decision was was put right pretty quickly. I am reading this forum with interest, though not involved with the process at all, I hope you will not mind me making one point, I find the thread pretty difficult to read with the quotes that are repeated over and over again and the league tables that appear two or three times per page, I actually miss the valid points that are being made, though I realise why the tables are updated. I hope you don't mind me saying what I think and it's certainly not a criticism, it's clear that the network of camaraderie that has built up has been very supportive. Anyway congratulations Tick Tock I hope you and yours can now get on with your new life, and may the trend of successful applications continue, without too much hoop jumping.

TickTock Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Very Sorry, I won't be able to visit the Lady Of Lamphun anymore We are away tomorrow to Sunny Scunny Out of curiosity what time did they ring you Tick Tock. We went to see The Lady Of Lamphun at Aprox 11 AM Monday Morning Bye For now To One and All Kennkate Cheers everyone. KnK they did not call me. I was in a meeting (physically, mentally I was elsewhere) got back to my desk and had an email from the embassy at 10.20 UK time. I also had a missed call from the Mrs, they spoke to her at about 10 UK so 4pm Thai time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that the table is getting regular updates. This thread is a good one in that is is letting people know they are not alone, and they can got a good idea of how long their application could take.

If I was you Chewy, I'm not going to ring them, I will go to see them instead, 14 weeks it's a bad joke. I checked on a Thai web board, someone submited a student visa, and he had to travel on the 23rd June at 1.00am but he didn't have a visa in hand yet, so on the 22nd June he went to the UK Embassy, went straight to Visa Section and told the staff that he have to travel tonight, the staff told him to wait for 30 mins and then gave him the visa. The guy said there was no one there because everyone goes to Regent House, he suggested it might work if you go straight to the embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
