The advisor quoted £350 for the fast track service. I would rather wait 6 or so weeks and do it myself.

WP gaps are expected as the HO says clearly yopu can continue working while they consider your papers. That is not the same with visa... it...

Leoleoleo,
Please clarify for me how it is possible to register your soon after getting ILR. I have always thought that after you get ILR you have to wait for 12 months before to naturalise and register the children? Has this changed?
