Additional congrads from us to you Pingit,TW and every1 else who has fortunately been successful(somehow).

Quick question please:- If I am faxing statements etc do I put APET number on all the pages before or none at all?

Cheers.

Hi,

I put my APET number on every single page. Also faxed it to the 2 numbers, and also sent them the hard copy from the UK.

I gave them a few days and then chased it up by phone...

Also GEORGE,

Gerrard Grant is the ECM right now. Entry Clearance Manager, and one of the only people who can overturn an ECO's refusal...

Fax number which is best to reach him is 0066 2254 9579 and the general fax number is on the webpage of the british embassy thailand. But this one here is better to use... he's a hard man to get in touch with tho, so I would chase up your fax a few days later...

No probs Exotic !

Well I have some good news to share !

:D:D:D:D:D:D

!!! WE HAVE GOT THE ORIGINAL REFUSAL OVERTURNED TODAY !!! YESSSSS OVERTURNED !!!!

:D

Visa will be issued today ! Just a day short of 17 weeks since we applied, and 1 refusal later....

We were trying to not go thru the appeal process, and write informally to Gerry Grant, with fresh evidence. I spoke to him on the phone yesterday, and he asked me to fax in the appeal form, saying he cant do much without the appeal form? All the evidence didn't mean anything without it they said to me. So... we faxed it over staright away, and this morning got a call from the embassy to let us know it has been overturned.

Just like everyone else we are so relieved and happy, but I really think this forum is AMAZING! I have had so much help from everyone on here that it beats any agency hands down! Its amazing the difference it makes when lots of people share their advice, so a huge thank you to all you guys from the bottom of our hearts !!!

gonna stay on this forum cause it tops !

till next time...

Excellant news Pingit, really chuffed for you..... :)

Hey all just got a text from a friend of mine who used to work at the embassy visa section and now helps people to get visas as he didnt want to leave Bangkok when his tour was up. He tells me that visit visa's (i assume he means tourist) delivery rates, have sped up considerably and he believes that settlement visa waiting times may come down as a result. I do not want to be the bringer of false jhopes but this guy seems to know his stuff and this weekend I have had the Mrs constantly crying as all in all this process has caused us to be apart for six months which sucks. So lets hope that this is the truth.

P.S. I anyone wishes to help me overthrow the government after we have all got our visas pls let me know.

P.P.S In case you are a government worker reading this, it is a joke now pls go and work on getting us all of our visas rather than wasting our time!!

Marky1600. Any chance of tapping your mate up a bit more on the SV waiting times/embassy policies? I'd be interested in anything that helps Joe Public understand the process a bit more (without breaking any confidentiality etc.)

A thai student studying in the UK has just asked me a question and I thought I'd put it out here to see if we can help her.

Her boyfriend and her are here studying so are on student visa's. Her boyfriends one is valid for 3 more years and hers around 1 more year. She is asking this: They plan to marry here in a registry office in the UK. After they are married, and before her visa runs out ,can she then change her visa to become a dependant of her now HUSBAND, who still will have his student visa for a further 2 plus years? And can she do this from the UK?

If anyone knows, I will pass any info to her ! thanks guys !

As it is now impossible to talk to anybody by phone at the embassy visa section about applications, tomorrow morning 10 am I have another appointment with my MP. Tonight I have drafted a letter to fax with a covering letter from the MPs office. I presume that this fax number would get a response (The Visa section fax 00662 254 9579) After this I have run out of options after 17 weeks and 1 day.

Chewy, when the embassy asked me to fax something to them I was asked to use the fax number you have quoted above and include the reference number on the fax. I'd also get a copy of the letter, scan it and send it via email to the visaenquiries email address. Good luck.
