prapha Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 i am looking for some advice.the embassy received my wife,s settlement application on the 2nd july.she had a phone call asking for more documents from me which i faxed through on the 20th aug and we have not heard anything since.We are now in the 14th week.I have looked at the waiting times on the ukba and it states that they try to process settlement visas within 12 weeks but it could take up to 24.As i have faxed more documents through where do i stand with the time scale (do i go to the back of the que?)i have looked at the ukba website time and time again to look for answers on if i can make contact to see what is happening with our application but i am quite sure i cant do anything until i have gone the 24 wks which seems crazy? (HELP) i am losing the plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(HELP) i am losing the plot I think your application has been delayed by the fact that more documents were needed. If you have supplied everything they have asked for, then there is no reason to think that the visa will be refused. And you do not go to the back of the queue. According to the UKBA website 100% of settlement applications were completed in 90 days in August. It will be interesting to see if Bangkok can keep up that processing rate with the new requirements introduced in July. It looks like your application has messed up their 90 day completion rate !

ThaiVisaExpress Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 normally when the ask for more documents you forward these and in 5 days a decision is made generally perhaps you should email them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, Kiggs, what is your background? I ask as I wonder why you needed help with the appliction. I understand that some people cant navigate the system and need a little help. That's not a bad thing, we are all different and some people have different skills, just wondered why you used them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiggs Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Well its a long story but will try and condense it down. I'm lazy!. Jk. The last visa was refused because the Pattaya based company didn't submit all the papers that were needed. He told me that the new financial rules where only made public in August so he didn't know what was needed for the new settlement visa!! You might ask yourself why didn't the embassy contact us and request the wageslips and bank statements that where missing!!! Well they did make contact but not with the wife they emailed the company and they didn't look at there mail. So that was that. The main reason we used a company to do all the papers in the first place was to try and save time. I could only get to Thailand for 2 weeks in July so wanted to use that time with the wedding and family. Not tromping round bangkok looking for this that and the other. Just thought go the company leave all the papers and then enjoy the time we had. I can and have filled all the forms out but need this done and dusted before Christmas and I know that these guys are the ones to make that happen.

englishinsiam Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Even though my wife's visa was approved last year I like to keep up to date with who what when why. Those of you waiting it is a killer to think we are British born and bred and our wives have to Ho through this rigmarole. But the feeling you get when she gets that sticker is amazing. Take the wait as a necessary evil. Good luck to you all Sent from my GT-N7000 using Thaivisa Connect App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiggs Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I hope so, We are just in the loop again after a unnecessary refusal. Fingers crossed all this hoop jumping will be over soon if only for a few mths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanh Kanssen Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hi everyone, I am a new member just for this UK visa waiting time thread. Hopefully you guys can fill me with hopes to get through this terrible waiting period. I applied settlement visa (married) from Singapore since Aug 24th, the visa application review and approval is being done in Manila ( same for Thai, SG and Malay). It has been 9 weeks long and the VFS center nor UK embassy breath a word. My husband had already gone to UK for new job commencement while I am stucked on this tiny island. My head is exploded! Is 9 weeks a normal/ norm processing time for settlement visa? I worry if my application went wrong at some points which caused such delay. Some advise on the waiting time would be much appreciated!

Maybe they haven't even looked at my application. Recently, I have to borrowed back my passport to extend my stay in Singapore. Do I have to go back in queue from beginning ?
