I am a very unhappy British national because my Thai wife has been refused a UK settlement visa to come and live permanently in the UK

Interview at the British Embassy

During her interview at the Embassy my wife was asked very peculiar questions that obviously we did not envisage which left my wife dumbstruck and upset, is this normal?

Answer

This is very normal and a regular occurrence, In my experience interviews are normally conducted when the UK visa application submitted is not substantial and the British Embassy officer feels that they wish to speak to the Thai Wife to ascertain if there knowledge of their UK Husband and their ongoing relationship is strong and clear enough to give an entry clearance.

In my vast experience we have assisted numerous Thai nationals in there preparation for the barrage of questions given during the British embassy interview. Being prepared and having the foresight and knowledge of what may be asked is the key to success.

Thai wifes and girlfriends during interview can be timid

Unfortunately most of the Thai wifes and girlfriends we have seen can be timid and have never under gone any type of interview. Being put infront of a trained UK immigration officer can be a very frightening experience. The visa officer has been trained to interview and find areas of information in which the Thai wife knowledge is weak, then they have the complete right to refuse the Visa.

Get it right first time because you are married does not entitle you to a visa automatically.

I have just been refused a tourist visa for my Thai girlfriend to visit me in the UK can you advise me how long we have to wait before we can re-apply and try again?

Answer

There is no set time scale before you can re-apply with the British Embassy.

If you think the refusal was unjust because the clearing officer has missed paperwork or due to lack of presentation they have misinterpreted the application then you can re-apply as soon as you feel confident but in these cases after a refusal I always advise my clients to get professional advise and help with a re-application.
