Thanks so much for this Nigel. Did you send them the "original" birth/marriage certificates and your "current" passports?

ncoomber

Yes....just about everything was the originals....hope they don't bloody loose them....otherwise I will no longer exist!!

MrMuffin

Sorry can't resist...

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs that helping hand

And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his world

Bloody 'ell man.....I remember when this came out....I was doing my apprenticeship at the Royal Ordinance Factory in Leeds... and every one would sing it to me....and keep asking if I was happy!!! You brought back memories. I tell you what though, I would be a lot happier in this world if my life wasn't involved with continuous immigration BS. I have had enough of it here in the states for the past 27yrs.....now I have it from the UK for my Mrs!!! Stuck with it. Shouldn't grumble, there are a lot worse things!
Cheers
