Aww, Lyonaria, cut them (us) a little slack!
People usually find us in the first place because they are doing their research and we pop up in the search results. And speaking for myself here, I'm happy to help wherever I can.
Feeling as you do, you're probably right to block the board though. But we'll try to remember to give you a shout if anything to do with your ILR changes.
Larrabee,
I have no issue with people coming on here saying, "I've been looking into this and I have questions."
It's the people who say, "I want THIS tell me how to get what I want."
If they put in a little effort they could find out most, if not all, of the information themselves on this forum.
I like to help people too, but I'm not willing to help someone who doesn't at least attempt to do some of the initial legwork themselves.
*grins* Giving me a shoutout won't do anything if the board is blocked.
It literally goes away as if it didn't exist.
I wish the Visa board was broken down into Spousal & Marriage Visa, FLR, ILR & Citizenship. It would make finding things easier. When I first found this board I kept google searching because it gave me better results than the onsite search function.
