Someone has claimed this to be his true and real experience - is this possible, I think he and others are lying?


■When my wife and I met, I lived in Thailand. We moved in together and later married.
■My wife then applied for a 6 month visit visa which was duly granted whilst I was still in Thailand.
■We returned to the UK, visited family etc
■I attended some interviews and I started working almost immediately.
■Over the next 6 months we prepared a strong application for a settlement visa.
■She returned to Thailand, submitted her application for settlement.
■During the waiting period I flew over to see her for two weeks.I returned to the UK.
■A few weeks her settlement visa was granted and she flew to be with me in the UK
■Over the years, she was granted ILR and finally citizenship.
And, all in, we were apart a matter of weeks.

And this same person, has suggested that I follow this process below so as to avoid a forced seperation from my wife and child - is this possible?

Apply for some jobs from Thailand

■Apply for your wife's visit visa (you have stated you have the means)

■Both of you return to the UK (You could even return a couple or 3 weeks early and continue the job search)

■You secure your position and start work

■After 6 months together your wife returns to Thailand (with a full application) and applies for settlement.

■You seperate for the time it takes to grant the settlement visa.

■Your wife retruns to the UK and is entering into a stable, employed and self sufficent household.

Thank you

Regards

It will be better if you post your own circumstances and your queries, rather than asking others to make sense of someone else's claim(s) and experience(s) and to determine whether there is any relevance of such claim(s) to your own circumstances - and that too without even knowing what your circumstances and queries are!!
Life isn't fair, but you can be!
