Dear Tulip, Prepare urself for the long wait then wait would be easier. When u expect in a month or two and it does not arrive becomes more difficult.

Completely agree with you that we are all in the same boat and that we all joined the forum help and comfort each other. Hence my annoyance at the completely uncalled for comment re my earlier post.

On days like these when peeps are getting theirs....I wonder when I'm getting mine. Or if I'm getting my citizenship at all. When you worked so hard to get what you should have achieved, patience becomes a difficult virtue. And not being able to do your job makes life more
harder.

I used my tracking number from royal mail. Checked it this
evening and status says "it's on its way". They are sending
back my documents and maybe a certain letter.
Fingers crossed.
