I've been little innovative - HO isnt going to give you the information and as we have seen some of the posts are taking ages to arrive - I called ECC to check if they have received anything for us so we can book a ceremony :roll: :lol: :twisted: :shock: My excitement was short-lived when they gave...

Good news and good luck (not that you'll need it!)!

Yesterday I spoke to HO (they called as i requested my nat.cert.back as original was sent) and as I suspected they have not touched my husband's file since payment was made :-( There is not going to be approval soon :-( Sorry to hear that, jaweb.

Unfortunately, Rhodesia doesn't seem to be on the list of countries considered to be majority English speaking. Have you got anything else you could send? Did you use your Life in the UK test to gain ILR before 28 October 2013?

Not in the general election though, only in the local election being held at the same time, got a polling card for that.

Don't worry guys, I'm not getting too stressed. Being a EU citizen it makes no difference to my daily life, it just would have been nice to be able to vote in the upcoming elections. Hope you enjoy your trip, rakeysh!

It's been four weeks since I applied now, so I'm allowing myself to start waiting "properly". :wink: When I first applied I was hoping for a quick decision as things seemed to be moving fast at the beginning of March. But then everything slowed down with people waiting forever to even see ...
