Thanks for your reply. In the letter I received from NCS it was mentioned that they will not be able to process the application unless photo is signed by the referees. I checked the guideline again but can not see anywhere where it says that photo should be signed by referees. SECTION 5: REFEREES &...

Jambo is correct. One can only pay home fees if he/she is free of immigration control (ILR) and also have live...

need not mention as it was FPN. A bit confuse here. I think CU80 (using mobile whilst driving) does not come under minor offence. See guidance notes : We will normally disregard a single conviction for a minor offence resulting in a bind over, conditional discharge or relatively small fine or compe...
Don't think applying through NCS or by post makes any difference time wise but still there are some pros and cons in applying either way.
