    Oh joy, next year it will be another £500 for naturalization . Ker-ching!

    Rob,

    got my FLR today, until the 10th of may, stupid and waste of time and money, but thats the law

    so on the 10 of April, i'll be applying for ILR, but this time it be harder, as my stepson has just turned 18, and thats an extra £335 i need to pay for him and i'll be using the post again, and save £330 !!

    so i applied for FLR on the 24th of jan, got the papers back on the 21st of Feb.

    saved £165 by using post instead of £500 EXPRESS FEE ! , soon there will be express roads with a toll, and the rich will have them for themselfs while us joebloggs have to use public transport


    oh and another moan, my wife took her driving test yesterday, and failed because she was driving too slow ! she was doing 25mph in a 30 !!! becuase a queue of cars were building up behind her, the gov tell you reduce speed, speed kills, and next you fail for not driving to the limit !! its a test !!! what they want you to do be dead on 30pmh !! ? , i bet if she drove 35mph she be breaking the law, and fail for going too fast,,,

    Good news that the FLR has come through - how much does FLR cost? Not £335 surely?

    Elsa is learning to drive at the moment , I did let her loose in my car for practise, never again Poor little Corsa nearly ended up on next doors immaculate front lawn

    yes rob, £335 !!! and i appiled just b4 my stepson was 18, so he went on my wifes app ( hahaha IND you just lost £335 , oh iam sure your'll find a way to get it back )

    as for driving, my wife assured me she can drive, and getting the car out of the garden she managed to get the front passenger door rammed against a wall
    , not once but twice, i was in

    after 30 plus driving lessons later ,and a few near misses while i was in the car with her, ( a few not her fault) , i expected her to pass, but she got 4 minor and 2 major faults, . not indicating going around a round about and going too slow !, well ive booked her in for another test. so dont come near manchester in 4 wks time..

    So even if theres just a few days gap to make it up to the ILR application date, you still have to pay £335?

    Im sure they've got ways to get that back from you, i'll be processing soon my ILR and just checked the new fees for this and it doubled the amount from previous fees, i cant believe it.
