Re: Applying for Citizenship. What if granted whilst abroad.

Hi, Thanks. Given that its a long bank holiday, and the advise you've given, think its safer to get a half day the weekend before just to be on the safe side. Thank you for your help.

Looks like someone deleted it at 11 February, 21:57. The last update before that was 11 February, 20:40. I cant seem to recover the spreadsheet from this version, perhaps I don't have privileges. :?
