thank you Casa.

it depends on how the BC rules stand in the future. Your friend would waste their money if they applied now.

It could be seen as a kind of repayment.

thank you Casa, and I agree with you Noajthan.

the rule is rule.

so it seems is unlikely to get BC even after 10 years.

thank you Casa.

Hi Bestshow, Did you get invitation straight from the council or HO? And how long did it take to receive invitation after the initial approval? the invitation letter is sent from HO, it took about 10 days after receiving the approval letter on 07.07.2015 the invitation letter is dated on 09.07.2015

I am in the same boat, and what I understand is we have to wait for the invitation letter even if the council have our certificates, as we have to attend the ceremony with the invitation letter, so we have to wait up to 14 days from the date on the approval letter. I got it this morning dated 09/07...

I didn't contact anyone; neither HO or MP ... I don't think it helps.

the best idea to chase them is to ask them to return your documents back.
