Dear All, I have finally received my BC invitation yesterday and with that I end my UK immigration journey which lasted 10 years, 4 months and 9 days.

Dear Members, First, thank you very much for your valuable advice to me in the past. I have obtained ILR based on Long Residence, yesterday 16th September 2017. I am now planning to apply for British Citizenship but slightly confused regarding earliest time I can make an application . My wife is a B...

Hi, I think it's too optimistic to try to find a slot one week in advance. I made my premium appointment on the 7th of August and I was aiming for 6th-7th September but unfortunately it was all booked.
