Hey Friends, You know what? I had a similar experience wherein I was told to leave my application only to be processed later. They did process it but the service we typically get in such cases is hardly premium. I had raised to ombudsman as complaint and UKBA was forced to refund the premium servic...

I had my appointment this morning, and they asked for the following: (my ILR was the first thing they asked). • MN1 Form • Completed fee page • Old and curren...

Hi, not sure if this will interest all, but I thought I would start a thread of all people who were turned away from Croydon due to IT issues but were told to leave documents. This happened to me, was told that they will call me, but 1 week later have not heard anything. So wanted to see if others ...
