Sorry to hear about your loss but glad the MP acted accordingly. I'm sure your Father would have been very proud of you.

Thanks for your comments Amber.
Just to update the forum I received my Biometrics card today 14/11/2013.

So sorry for your loss

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you get to be with your loved ones. As much as the immigration system is lacking, we have to appreciate how they deal with exceptional circumstances.
