Just an ILR Update!
« on: July 08, 2022, 12:41:23 PM »
Did my Biometrics appt at 9:30 in Chelmsford, all fine nothing eventful.

I paid for super priority but as it's a Friday wasn't expecting a response until Monday/Tuesday.

Just got the email I was approved! A 3 hour turnaround, unreal! Now to save up for citizenship

And I would have haha. I was so stressed last night making sure I brought everything I needed and ended up forgetting masks because I keep them in the car but I walked from my BIL's, had to buy some for FIVE POUNDS at M&S and then no one was wearing masks

Ouch! Thankfully the good news trumps the fact that M&S robbed you!

At 1 am! And UKVCAS have free appointments at every location (except the premium lounge) now according to their website so it was nice going to a centre only 10 miles away for free.

I just got super priority the other day at 1am. I was refreshing the 'pay' page on my application at 12.59am, and the button to pay for super priority suddenly appeared exactly at 1am.

It then directed me to the website to book appointments at centres across the country. There were a lot of appointments that we could pay for, but we waited until 9am the same day and a bunch of free appointments suddenly appeared at centres near us.
