Thank you all for keeping this forum going and for sharing your information as and when it came through. At times it was a source of anxiety, while I watched many of you receive your approvals so promptly, but the majority of the time it was super informative and a very encouraging and supportive forum.

I wish you all every success in your applications and happiness as future British Citizens.

Not sure it will sway my support in the rugby world cup though
