It looks good. It doesn't matter that there is no activity in the Citi account.

Update on everything: visa was approved!!!!

If anyone wants to know what happens at an "enhanced service point", I would really recommend the Reading centre. My appointment was £60, which did include the document check and scan if I needed it.There were maybe three people doing biometrics. We just sat down and waited for them to call out times people had scheduled appointments. The lady we got was actually the manager of the centre. She was really knowledgeable and had a look through all my stuff. She said it seemed like everything was in order, and she reckoned that most appointments finished by noon would get a response back before the end of the day (5pm) if they signed up for the 24 hour service. Not too sure how accurate that is, but it seems accurate for my experience. My appointment was at 11am, and my confirmation email was at 2.50pm ish.

Oh also, you can download your appointment confirmation on your phone, and they accept the QR code from that. I accidentally left my appointment confirmation at home, but the sign at the centre said Sopra accepted digital copies as well.

Now to start studying for the Life in the UK test and saving up for ILR!

I think Sopra Steria is a really good service.   It is particularly surprising for all of us who went through that hellacious 2017 summer waiting 60BD (3 months!)  for our applications to be processed.  The contrast is massive after that nightmare...

As much as I hated dealing with the digital application, I can't really complain about the actual appointment lol

Just stopping in to say 'hi' and congrats to you both on finishing up this step. I remember your usernames from summer 2017!

Same! I remember so many people from that timeframe. I feel like we're all in a club
