anyway, I had to email/call/and otherwise stalk my state represtative to get things done for my husband. Hoping it all works out for you Rich. I know what it feels like to marry someone in a foreign country with no family around. None of my family could make it to Turkey for my wedding....my thoughts will be with Nesrin...but I am sure it will all work out.



Hi Elisabeth,
Thanks for your support, it is so important to us Nesrin is very close to her sister and nephew as are most Turkish family's and this would be very upsetting to have not received any decent reply. I will take this as far as I can at least to highlight what is a very unfair system and a system that greatly affects alot of people's lifes.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like the US. I have been waiting 6 months for a passport .. with no end in site .. last update was october 20th. go figure ..



I am sorry to hear that Leelu, the thing that really annoys me is that they should reach a decision either way and let them know, it is the decent thing their plans and their life's are on hold until they can reach a decision.

Yes no one can rush the governments thats for sure. Keep thinking positive thoughts, this is a happy moment for you and your fiance!!

The whole issue is quite annoying.

Hello everyone,
I am very unhappy that my fiancée’s sister and nephew have not heard about their visa to visit the U.K. to witness our wedding, we have waited now nearly three weeks. They both filled in an online application with my help because all of the application form has to be in the English language.

We are able to track the application online and after nearly three weeks the 'status' is awaiting at mission, which basically means they have not done a thing about it. This is totally unacceptable and I am going to make a complaint, they only have one day left to be accepted or otherwise they cannot come to our wedding. I understood that they have to make a decision and either warrant a refusal or grant the visitor's visa's. They have done neither and I am sure this is going to go further. I will go straight to my M.P. but furthermore I will go higher than just my local M.P. I think that the television should be informed of this practice as we have all tried to contact the consulate by person, several phone calls and countless e-mails all to no avail they simply to not reply.

This process really is so hard going, we as the U.K. let in so many illegal immigrants and then we complain about it later when the influx has totally got out of control. I want my M.P. to explain to my fiancée’s sister and nephew why they had to miss their relatives wedding, I am so angry that this will go as far as I can take it.



Rich, I am so sorry for the two of you. Like some others have said, they sound like the US. As you know, Yilmaz and I had to file a waiver and they told us not to call or e-mail, they would get in touch with us when they had the answer. Well that could be as long as 12 months or more!! So, I do know your frustration. But surely they can see that Nesrin's family would be coming for a special occasion and would then return!!! Hopefully your M.P. will be of help!! I will keep you both in my prayers.

Worse case scenario, you would just have to do it all over again in Turkey.

By the way, what is the date of your wedding?

Good Luck and Best wishes for a speedy outcome in the positive!!!
