In May, and yes I am aware of the £80.

I have a reminder to phone the local council and check availability of appointments tomorrow, so fingers crossed, it won't be too long?

However, it is my grandparent by which I have ancestral rights to the UK, not my ...

Hi guys, I apologise in advance if any of this has been covered, but I have spent the last day going through the various posts and while I have learned a lot from all the others, I cannot find the specific answers I need! So, to lay the groundwork: I am in the UK on an Ancestry visa, I am South ...
