My partner made the application using our 2 kids who are British passport holders. I only send letter of support as advised by the solicitor so was not a party. The complaint was about how long it has taken for HO to deal with the application and that we want the kids passport back as they cannot go...

My application was sent on 14th Nov, got my approval end of Jan 2012 but have to wait for 6 weeks for my ceremo which is tomorrow. I was told by Newham Council that had to pay i think the same figure if i want private ceremo, but what is the point to rush and pay this money after paying £836 to UKBA

@cherryplum , how many letters did you get from HO?. I got 2, the first was to informed me of the success of the application and got another one yesterday which was the invite to the ceremony. I was little bit shock about the 13th March date given by the lady I spoke with on the phone. I will phone...

At work though but just been informed that a brown envelope has been delivered to my address by post - If is what am expecting then its taken 11weeks. Can wait to get home to open it, hope is a good news!!!

@Blackhole - Cherryplum applied before us but yet to get approval. I think the applications are treated on case by case basis so "patience" is the word. Our time will come.

Sent mine through post on 11th Nov and was recieved on the 14th Nov. No news but have decided not to phone them but wait untill end of this month/1st week in Feb

Magic/Touble, My wife is a Ghanaian and I have been in Ghana for the past few weeks so have not had the oportunity to access update on the board. Magic7, if you say she should be honest should she tell UKBA everything about overstaying if she is asked? Wouldnt this affect her future application to r...

Trouble, thank you for your advice I have been thinking around that but she is afraid that she may be finger printed at the airport and that may affect her application if she goes back home. Will she be finger printed? If not then your suggestion would have been the easiest route. Iam prepare to go ...

Mochyn,

She came to this country with a visitor permit even though she went back home, she returned but has since not gone back. We had 2 boys 5 & 6 who were born here are now British Citizen by the vi...
