Bloodyhell, that's what I call a tribe invasion of Britain! 5 bloody people! No wonder why British people are fed up with immigrants! Also, I'm glad I'm leaving the forum!

Well.....all the children were born here in the UK. Talking about tribe invasion, I happen to be the only immigrant here anyway.

No need to justify. You did everything legally - our friend just seems to be a bit bitter. Odd considering they're on an immigration forum and have probably gone through the same process you did.

Good luck everyone! The forum has been very helpful

[greekviki]

[quote="greekviki"]Hello everyone,

This is my first post - In hindsight I wish I had discovered this forum much earlier. Here it goes:

Application Type: First Passport Adult
Method of application: Online and eventually post (silly silly me for using a Beta Service )
Date of online application: 17th January 2015
Date of postal application as had been told I had not completed a section that did not exist in online application : 04th February 2015 (confirmed by special delivery receipt)
SMS confirming receipt by IPS: 6th February 2015
Date of return of documents: 14/02/2015
Date of receipt of interview letter: 12/02/2015
Date of Passport Appointment: 16/02/2015
Date of Passport Receipt: Waiting

Very quick process so far.

[Taz_UK]

Passport for: sec 1 (3) Registered Minor
Application Type: New
Method of application: Online Beta & Postal
Date of application: 02/02/2015
Date application received by IPS: 05/02/2015 (status changed online)
Date of return of documents: Waiting
Date of Passport Receipt: Waiting

It looks like Online application take longer than paper form application.

Well, I got my citizenship (and passport) for myself. I didn't bring a tribe over here, nor did I breed one (5 people!). While this forum is for immigrants, most of them are INDIVIDUAL immigrants, NOT TRIBES like yours! No wonder why British people have turned against -massive- immigration.

Why do you feel the need to make such nasty comments? If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say about others, please just say nothing. You embarrassing yourselve.

[Serina26]

I am talking sense. Most British people are against massive immigration, and that is a fact. If you have a problem with this then it's not my fault. Bringing/ breeding a foreign tribe in this country is something that is bound to be frowned upon. The only one who is embarassing himself is the guy who can't even spell the word "yourself". What a shame! Go and hide now!

Quitting this forum for good now as I'm moving on with my life after completing journey here.

Adios!

You better improve your English if you want to blend in...

Thanks Serina26 for your comments. You need not breed or bring in a tribe, but I can tell you that you are a real disappointment. You should learn to respect other people's opinions and or situations, and because you have sex-related problems, should not be a reason to get upset with others without similar medical problems as yours. I think it is important to see medics to treat you of your sickness soonest. Shalom

Good riddens!! It's sad that you joined this forum for support and on completing the process, have decided to become a hypociritcal and bothersome troll to others.

On someone celebrating the reciept of thier passport on this thread you "rain on thier parade " by Serina26 » Fri Jan 30, 2015 8:57 am"
On someone seeking advice about supporting documents you rudely tell quote "British Passport application processing timelines (only)" - by Serina26 » Mon Feb 02, 2015 1:02 pm.. then have the audacity to talk about bringing in tribes.

You may have completed the process but your true journey to being British has only just begun and you are unlikely to ever "blend in" if you have already forgotten the pledge you took to "give [my] loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms."

For someone who's inital application was rejected for failing to meet the "Good Character" requirement, "Re: Unsuccessful applications - Postby Serina26 » Tue Sep 30, 2014 7:16 pm" - one would assume you'd a lesson your learned and could demonstrate some sympathy and understanding at the very least.

Shame on you! If an administrator gets to read this I hope you're blocked if you haven't left yet. Once again, good riddens and get a life!
