thanking you

Has anyone ever bothered to ask why we have to pay £515 to get our loved ones over?

Where does this money go?

Why did it increase almost 100% this time last year?

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

So nice to know that the UK Gov are going to get another big wedge of my money, or maybe 2 if last time's experience is anything to go by, yes just why does it keep going up, Oh i forgot another stealth tax.

It is a real shame that when you fall in love with someone from another country you need a min of £2-3k for the whole process!!

I think the British Gov could learn some lessons from the Irish Gov as it costs next to nothing via a Family permit..

Hi and thanks for your comments, yes i have been real lucky to find Rose, our relationship is 100% soliid. My worry now, is because i already got a Thai into the uk, the Brit embassy wont give my new fiancee a visa. I was married to the Thai woman but now going through divorce, i know we have to wait for my decree absolute before we can make a new application, but i keep thinking that my previous will go against me. The truth is the Thai used me to get a visa, she left me after 5 days and hooked up with Thai relatives/ friends here in the uk. I informed the home office of everything and have replied to their letters with what info i can give. Doe's anyone else have a similar experience.

hi Spin and Rose

Shouldn't really account agaisnt you imo you did everything right and she was the bad apple.
You helped the authorities above and beyond what you were expected to.

Is that a eea permit or whatever they called?
They have to be free and a eu national from say france can use it here and i presume you could use it as a british national in france.

THe french and irish actual visas may cost more. Anyway its supply and demand far more people desperate to come to the UK than Ireland or france it appears.

A terrible experience with your former Thai love. I also don't believe that your previous experience will cost you as you have cooperated with the authorities as best you can. Good luck going forward.

That's the albatross!!!
