This maybe a quota problem, and they are dragging it out so long.
For almost a year? My goodness. I hope spouses of Singaporeans do not have to wait that long until there is quota available. I will have been waiting exactly two calendar months on Monday.
The UK can just be as difficult on foreign spouses, if you are unlucky! The normal procedure would be within 3 months. But if they suspect a marriage of convenience then you are put through hell, believe me they are bastards and will make your spouse feel no more than a local hooker.
Refugees are at least treated within the boundaries of the Geneva Convention.
The UK are a law to themselves and never abide by the EEC rulings, if it doesn't suit them....even on my return to UK after 25 years in Denmark, I was stripped of any European rights i had, on my return to the UK, the British law has precedence, that's why i am so angry against my own Country, we and i mean all the UK population have been conned since the UK entered the EEC in 1973, and our rights are abused while the higher ranks rape and pillage every tax penny and every loop hole.
It takes a minimum of 5 years to get the UK in a European Court of law, and in the UK, there are no lawyers at all willing to go against it's own government, they must work within the guidelines of British law, not European.
I personally know several people that have been married to foreigners for a number of years and have been disallowed entry with their wives on the suspicion of getting married so the spouse can get a British or other European passport, because of dating agencies making money out of introductions.
So a year isn't bad going at all in Singapore from my point of view, however I would never ever build up my hopes on the expectations of others doing a job, it only takes one person in the chain to dislike you, and it's start all over again time.
Although Singapore is building its nation, it will be very thorough in Checking every document and history, because many have been caught with false documents in the last couple of years. SMS could also be right too, your documents may well have been lost on purpose, like i said early if ones face doesn't fit, who knows what they do!
Littlegreenman, you have no problems, 99% of countries are more hospitable than the UK, especially if you are from a Country with good working relations between the two Countries.
