This eloquent defense of tolerance and freedom of speech

Just happy you followed my advice on lowering your expectations. If you look at any suggestions I've made here, they are with the best intentions.

You are welcome buddy!!!

I was getting very anxious the first couple of weeks of February but now I have moved on. It will come in its own time.

With redirection, there is a couple of days delay. You never know, it may very well be on its way to you now :wink:

Good luck and keep us posted!!

Hello 2s0e0p1, I applied under the 10 year rule as well. I applied a week before you and I am still waiting too Just to give you some reassurance, there are lots of people who have been waiting for months. If you gave UKBA plenty of notice before you changed your address, you will just need to wait ...

Re: London congestion charges (PCN)

Hello,

Just to clarify, PCN's are harmless and would not affect your application if they are either settled or dismissed.

Please refere to this tread for more information.

When you said the company director appealed the charged, do you know if he eventually managed go get the charged dropped?

Almost 4 months

no news yet? Nope. The only thing I had through the post today is some useless junk mail. Considering this month is 28 days only, I will be firmly placed over the 4 months mark this time next week. However seeing the glass half full, I will only be 2 months away from the 6 months mark!! On a positi...

Yep. I go into my 4th month of waiting next week too. I think us going into the 6+ month waiting pile is a distinct possibility now unfortunately!! If the fees were closer to the £100 mark, I would have lodged another application now, lots of fresh applications are processed in the space of 2 weeks ...

I trust he will be banned if he carries on with this attitude/language. There is a big difference between practical advice and bullying. Now that he sees himself, as a naturalised UK citizen, in a different class to other visitors of this forum. And the fact that reading other people's experiences s...

like chicona, I am waiting from October and I think Rayanbest is still waiting from early November too.

I applied under the 10 Long Residence as well.

Nobody knows how the UKBA works. All we can do is forget about it and chill. It certainly helped me get through my days much better 8)
