I agree wpilr_nov12, adding couple of fields extra would definitely help other members.

A kind request to all posting timeline, could you please follow above template for all timelines posting on or after 28th Oct?

wpilr_nov12, Could you please paste this template in Oct timeline also? So that we'd have people posting from today onward in that thread until 31st?

Hi wpilr_nov12,

Was your B1 cert a new one, or the one you used at the time of your initial entry clearance and was it expired or still valid?

Regards

Hold tight Shiftingsands. The UKBA are currently up to Oct 22nd with taking fees and the acknowledgement is normally only sent when the fees are taken so you've got a little while to wait yet. I wouldn't bother holding my breath until maybe 2nd week of December.
