I don't find it offensive at all. May be the way she construct her wording is not that clear, I mean, I'd been here in UK for morethan 5 years now but still my English is not that good, give her the benefit of the doubt and lets hear from her again

Like me I should be getting my ILR last year before they change the law from 4 years to 5 years I would say in way lucky to those people who came here thru marriage they don't need to go thru lots of obstacles (of course aside from waiting for their visa) just to settle here. For us on a workpermit visa, contributing to the economy on our lown ittle way but still no assurance if we can settle here and the HO is keep on changing the law

But then again, some people marrying a foreigners to get a residence status/citizen that's a fact. For many whose reasons is LOVE....we hear you
