Hello, I am hoping someone can tell me from their experience, how much time in advance does an individual need to book an appointment for public enquiry office? I would like to submit my SET(M) form in January2012, when should I book my appointment?
thank you

8 week is a long time for no reply, maybe you should try to get in contact with the new york office and check if they can confirm recieving your application.

Does the applicant also have to provide "6 month bank statements, 3 months wage slip"
What happens in the instance, the applicant is a full-time mum or housewife and dont "work"?
