Re: Visa progress checking website down?

Ahh, it's only listed under the 489. That would be why there's a load of people who have all applied for the new 189 and 190 visas that are unable to find it then.

Re: Visa progress checking website down?

Re: Visa progress checking website down?

I've had this problem since lodging my visa on 1st September, haven't once been able to log in to check my status or upload documents.

Re: Jumeirah Village South

Have they driven on the Atlantis road at the end of the Palm recently? I last drove on it back in April and there was definitely clear signs of subsidence there then. Massive pot holes, raised bits,...

Re: customs and cigs

Re: Important Information for Brits - changes to the passport service in the UAE

As everyone else has said if all of this is to be processed in one central place it should be in the UK, not Germany!

Re: Rod Stewart...

Re: Connecting TV to PC - apart from long cable

I don't think the PS3 has VPN capabilities. You can get a router that supports VPN and then route all your network via the VPN. I have a Linksys running dd-wrt firmware via a PPTP connection. It...
