I'm in a similar boat.
They did update the settlement forms for ILR (e.g., SET(O) and SET(M)). But they didn't update AN. You know, they didn't say they were going to
specifically update the AN form. They just said that updates
in general were going to be made.
From
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... april-2010:
The new fees are set out in the table that you can find on the right side of this page. Also on Tuesday 6 April 2010, we are revising a number of our application forms. If you are submitting an application on or after 6 April, please:
visit the relevant section of this website to check that you have the right form; and
make sure that you send us payment at the new fee level for your type of application.
So there's no guarantee of a new form, so you'll just have to wait and see. You might want to try ringing the nationality hotline, but I doubt anyone answering the phones there will know for sure. So yeah, I agree with you. This is a bit of a bind.
