Finally done, can start chucking away tons of documents kept for keep sake for visa/ILR/Naturalisation.

Also, some HMPO staff (sadly not everyone) went extra miles to help to quicken the process, which made me very impressed! Last but not least, dx also delivered on time, all good in the end.

Lastly, thanks again for this community, you truly helped a lot through this long journey
