Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know it is possible to apply without a solicitor and non expedited route in case anyone is muling about paying a penny over than what is mandatory (application fee). Only thing though, be prepared to wait close to the 6 months period for a response.

UKVCAS staff confirmed if you apply during the weekend using the Priority it counts as you applied in the following Monday (which I found bullshit because if you pay for a priority service, you might as well get it).

Thanks for all your help and see you next year (new soap opera in my life now called citizenship).
