Thanks for that I was a little concerned. My Wife has just had a call from the Embassy, who's taking care of her kids , what Visa we have applied for etc. so I am hoping this is good news.

I see from other members that they have recieved the sms a couple of days later so fingers crossed.

Congratulations AllThaidUp, hope its a positive result.

[AllThaidUp69]

We Got the right result so the wait is over but good luck to everyone else

[Quan]

Congratulations! At this rate this board will be closed by the end of the month.

[Suhari]

Congratulations! At this rate this board will be closed by the end of the month.

Let's hope so.

My birthday today; booked a flight to go out for Christmas - we're hoping there will be 2 of us on the flight back.

[TiggerFish]

Fantastic news AllThaidUp69, all the best for the future.

Yes bryangiggs based on other peoples experience you should hear in a couple of days now, good luck !!

The list of those still waiting is getting much shorter now, perhaps it will draw to a close soon, new joiners always welcome.

Happy Birthday Suhari, I hope you get your birthday wish !!

Just looking for a bit of re-assurance I suppose. Embassys closed for another day & still no sms. They phoned my Wife twice on Tuesday, the 2nd time asking about her son & who was taking care of him. Might it be this reason that ours is taking a while longer. My wife has 2 children, 1 lives with my Wife & her mother & the other with her ex's mother & father.

Just getting a bit anxious now, I've been fine until my Wife got the calls.

Congratulations AllThaidUp by the way & good luck to those still waiting.

Hi bryangiggs, just so you know sms's generally get sent about 10am Thailand time.

It's not unusual for the embassy to ring multiple times, they ring when they are unclear about some of the detail provided.

Did you apply for visas for the children ? Do you intend to in the future ? The embassy probably want to be clear on this point as who has sole responsibility for care of children plays a big part in deciding if settlement visas should be granted for them.

My wife applied for her son at the same time she applied for herself and providing evidence of who cared for her son on a daily basis was a big part of the application.

Your wait should be over soon though.

We havent applied for Visas for the children this time, we wanted to get my Wife settled 1st & save some money before applying for the kids. I think its just that we know we are close to finding out & I am getting a little impatient now whereas I had been fine thus far.

Thanks for the reply, like I said i just needed some re -assurance.

[bryangiggs]

Wife got the sms this morning, we have authorised someone to pick the passport up so just have to wait a couple more hours........which is gonna seem like days!!

I'll let all know ASAP

Congratualtions to all who have been successful since last I looked on here, Just got back to the UK Wednesday and strugging to re-adjust to times. It is good to see some fast times up there, but whatever the wait, it is well worth it.

[bryangiggs]

Thank <deleted> for that, we got the Visa.

Good Luck to those still waiting & thanks for all the advice & support from this great forum.

Although it was remiss of me not to log our SV application on this post, I feel that I should inform everybody of our success.

We applied on the 14th of October and got our successful answer on the 18th of November.

Which was 5 weeks. Good luck to all still waiting and may I and the new Mrs Johnson wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wow, those waiting times have come down. Looking like 5-6 weeks, which means we might get news before I head out.

Have been feeling relatively relaxed over things, but starting to get twitchy now. All I want or Christmas is my missus here..........!

I hope you get your Christmas wish, I know I am looking forward to my first Christmas with my wife and son at home.

[RAZZELL]

The gf completed her online application...not without a few hickups...

Being the tight so-and-so that she is, she only booked an hour in an internet shop and lost the application half-way through when the timer turned off her computer...I shouldn't laugh...

Booked an appointment for 8.30am on Friday.

Nearly there

[Suhari]

Here we go...........

The missus got a text and email this morning:

Dear XXXXX,

Your Visa application reference number:AXXXXX has been processed by the British Embassy

and is received at the UK Visa Application Centre.

Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email.

Regards,

Visa Application Centre

She has not had a call from them or anything: goo thing or not?

Excited/nervous now.

Presumably very soon there will be an invitation to collect.
