What should I do if my affidavit of income from the British embassy is delayed and my visa extension is expiring soon?

but I bet their on a big fat pension promise

They all seem to make it up as they go along which is where a lot of misunderstandings arise - unlike the British embassy which just take your money and gives lousy service - come on 10 working days to issue a piece of paper !

no mate I'm DEEP up country

fair enough I'll give it a go tomorrow

Right it goes like this...my extension of stay based on retirement is up on friday the 17th - the British embassy received my paperwork on the 8th and according to my phone call this morning I can expect them back (not in one week ) as years gone by but on the 22nd. So the extension will be finished before the affidavit is returned therefore as suggested by Robert my wife called them about a 60 day reprieve upon which she was told in no uncertain terms that is an old law and has now changed it has in my terminology 'been binned" so it's an agreed overstay or leave the country and start the whole process from scratch...I hope this is clear as to my predicament.

got to go out and start from square one ! Never mind I've only been here for 30 years and have an adult son - time to stop bitching and move on.

just been told by Surin immigration that the 60 day extension is now not available - new law

it's no f38king good anyhow what with the pound being worth sweet fa

they recieved it on the 8th and are telling me on the phone I cannot expect to receive back it before the 22nd In years gone by it's been returned within a week !
