any refusal reason?
Yes, the HO stated that although life would be difficult, it would be possible for me to move with my husband to live in Thailand (the country he is from).
I should note at this point if you don't already know my case info, that we are in a same-sex marriage, something Thailand doesn't permit or recognise, regardless of whether or not a marriage certificate is held from another country where it is legal. The situation is that I can't get a Thai spouse visa to move there, as they don't recognise our marriage, and so the only option available to me would be tourist entry clearance for 60 days at a time, then taking trips to a neighbouring country and re-entering on a new 60 day clearance every two months - this is essentially what the HO are suggesting.
We are saying that this is totally beyond reason and that he should be allowed to stay here on the basis that there are insurmountable obstacles to us living in Thailand (there are other things stopping us moving to Thailand, but I'd rather not get into those on a public forum).
... if it doesn't come back with the result you wanted then there's always the appeals process which should be significantly quicker than the initial app.
