It's Been A While

by tonyhedges @ 10 Feb. 2008 - 08:17:53 pm

I am sorry that I haven't written for a while. It is difficult to write when your too upset to. As you may know, I got married in Thailand in November last year. I had to leave my wife there to have her interview to get a Settlement Visa. She had her interview and they said 'no'! I have gone through angry, I'm still in sad. I have appealed against the decision and have legal representation that is saying that the decision is not defendable in court and that we will win. That is the good news if there can be any such description in this bad time for my wife and I. We have missed christmas together, it looks certain that we will miss Valentines as well.

So we know we will win the appeal, whats the problem? Well, the length of time. It could be any time from mid June to August before the appeal is heard. I am very angry with the British Embassy in Thailand, because I beleive they are doing a shoddy job. What is more they do this shoddy job and charge you 37,000 baht (aprox £500) non-refundable! Surely if they charge you for a service they should be accountable should someone be proved not to have done their job properly?

I would love to be able to sue someone fopr negligence at the Embassy, but that will never happen and the quickest way to get my wife back is the try to show them that the conclusions they came to are wrong. I am currently trying this and hope to hear soon if I am to be successful.
