Dont know about the Aussie system mate, but I was at the Brit embassy in April and met a Thai Lady married to an Englishman, she had been refused a U.K VISA. I read the letter of refusal from the embassy. Basicaly she had no pictures of her wedding, her husbands bank statements and payslips were 6 months out of date,there was no proof of the length of their relationship; i.e letters phone bills to Thailand, and they didnt think she and he would stay together. I spoke to him on her phone and he had been to embassy in London to supply all the docs needed and they were supposed to fax them to Bangkock. So DONT GET ANGRY, I saw some bloke swearing and getting upset, and thought - You are doing no good like that mate.

If you have heard nothing for 7 months you should get in touch with your nearest embassy visa department .

Good Luck

Hi rabbitoh

I am going through the process of getting my TG a fiancee visa to come to OZ,,Over the last few mths,i have been researching all the info i can get on visas, in particular the fiancee and allso the visa if you are already married,one thing i found out was that if you got married in thailand, you now have to be in that relationship for 12 mths before they will consider the visa,even if you havent heard from them, does not mean it has been rejected, who is getting the info from the embassy?? you or your TG? and one other thing is ,try not to annoy the embassy people,it is the Thai,s who make the decisions in that place,not the aussies as it should be.

Sorry i am not much help right now, but if i knew a bit more info from you,i might be able to help with regards to more details of how they go about it.

P.S My advice to another board member got his TG a visa with out any problems.

Cheers

Colin
