Yes, My Indian lodger told me. Across the last entrance on your bank statement has to show available funds. So I started all over again with another £840. This time I have three bank accounts showing funds and a letter from the Bank saying my one overdraft is actually a secured loan with the mortgage. It will go through this time.
I thought you had more reasons like now 3rd party support

5 weeks and counting!
This UK none switching is horrible. They allow the Thai person into the UK to enter a civil partnership/marriage and then when you leave and reapply for settlement they refuse over one thing. can't that see that that person was allowed just a few months earlier.

Visit visas cannot be switched to settlement.

If your partner had entered the UK with a proposed civil partner/fiance visa then after registering your partnership or the marriage he could have, indeed should have, applied for 2 years further leave to remain.

It's not the UKBA's fault that your partner applied for the wrong visa.

Peoples circumstances change, therefore each application is treated on it's own merits; particularly when they are for different classes of visa.

The requirements for a visit visa and a settlement visa are not the same. Even finance; having sufficient finances for a visit does not mean you have sufficient finances to settle and support yourself indefinitely.

Yes you say that and then we would of still went through the same stuff!
that is why we applied for a visitor marriage visa! thinking that we won't risk wasting money if we got it wrong!
At the end of the day you need to supply the same documents what ever visa you apply for!

You are so wrong there!

As previously discussed, you did not provide evidence of your finances. The ECOs are not mind readers, the onus is on the applicant to provide the evidence they need to make their decision; you didn't do that. (Based on what you have said; for a more accurate comment I would need to see the refusal notice.)

What the salary of an ECO has to do with it, I have no idea; other than yet another feeble attempt by you to try and impress the gullible with your income and status.

You have said elsewhere that you are a Canadian living in the UK who can't be bothered to take out British citizenship. Maybe you should return to Canada; except it would be a lot more difficult and long winded process for you to get Canadian residency for your Thai partner than it is to get UK residency.
