I too didnt use NCS. Neither did i send the original of anything i.e. including my passport, LUIK test etc. Had everything certified for a fiver and got my approval within 4 weeks, so this isnt unusual.blackgent0306 wrote:THERE IS A SEPARATE LETTER WHICH CAME WITH YOUR INVITATION.

THIS 6 MONTHS WAIT, WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? ARE THEY TELLING US THAT IN ORDER TO PAY #50.00 FOR NCS PROCESS OR WHAT? I SENT MINE DIRECTLY TO LIVERPOOL AND I HAVE MY OLD PASSPORT BACK NOW PLUS APPROVAL PLUS INVITATION AND WAITING DATE OF CEREMONY.
GOODLUCK TO THOSE WHO ARE YET TO HEAR FROM UKBA.
By the way i only received an invitation to ceremony letter at the time for those wanting to know
