Thanks Raynaputi

It's not me that needs the help. It's for my wife and she is a Filipino so maybe they won't help her?

What do you think?

Just call them, no harm done. And it's better if you're the one who would talk to them, at least you can explain everything as clear as you want.

Thanks Rayna, I will do just that

Hello Rayna,

Well, we did call them 7 times and all we got was an answering machine.

Go to

www.gov.uk/visa-immigration. It's the same old story with the same old run-a-round and getting nowhere fast No human voice at the end of the line to talk to. I really don't know why they bother to have this emergency phone line ? I know our situation is out of the ordinary every day visa enquiry.

God I've never felt so lonely before when being out of the UK travelling around the world as I have. With most embassies I've been in contact were a lot easier to communicate than the one we are trying here.
You see if we fill in the wrong form and pay that fee that is required? we will never get that money back and we will still don't know where to go from here and the problem we are having trying to get some information on the correct application form with the correct number of that form so we can fill in and just get on with it. The trouble is that I have to be back at work soon and they will not extend my emergency leave any longer Thanks all for your help

Hello Rayna

What numbers are you calling?? I want to make sure we are calling the same numbers as it is not an answering machine I spoke with 20 minutes ago

I managed to get hold of one of the advisers but I don't want to be charged for my inquiry.

I'm sick of these numbers now. So we wrote to them as well This was over a week ago, well past their sell by date as we still have not heard a peep out of them.

If you care to look back at some of my earlier post I mentioned it before too.

We have looked around their websites for the UK Border Agency and cannot find a form that is there. All we need to know is exactly which application form it is so that we can complete?

I've only got a week more to go before I have to come back to the UK and I am afraid of how my wife will cope with seeing me leave her here behind?

Thanks again all for your help.
