Hey all, I cannot believe it, today 16/12/2017 I received a letter from the home office, expecting a request for more information, but instead I received the approval letter. I cannot believe it! I am so happy. Good luck to every one waiting for their decision. My application was not straight forward. I had 2 ccj's and sent a covering letter to explain it. Good luck every one! Take care.
