Hi guys,
I used to be on flr-m waiting forum in 2012 when there was a mad wait for post applications hence the username as waitwaitwait.
I didn't bother posting my ILR and did same day appointment on 26/09/2014. Its a shame there is no such service for naturalisation and again back to usual wait as I have applied for Naturalisation.
