Thanks in advance.

NO, only applicants above 18 must attend.

I was wondering if the HO normally do checks on applicants with foreign governments or checks should be made exclusively within the UK and why these bloody checks take few weeks for some applicants but have no time limit for many others?! Is it your country of origin that is the cause of the delay??!!

I was wondering if we need to write to gov. depts, companies and organisations that hold our personal records advising them of getting BC to amend their records accordingly?
Thanks

You have been waiting such long time for a straightforward case ? how complex is your case? which nationality? please provide further details.
