Nope, we'll be doing the one-day express application, so I'll be phoning for an appointment in next 2 weeks, should be plenty of time?

also rob, you know how people have taken banks to court for charging people £35 for sending a letter they are over drawn etc, and they win in court because the bank is making money from it and cannot justify the charge, i want a break down of the cost of visa's from the gov, how can processing cost £350 ? when you can get a passport or driving license for less than £70 !!! and if you go same day and get a visa in a couple of hours and they charge you a mere £500 !!!! for processing !! they must be making a hell of amount of money from this con, and forcing people to pay these ridiculous charges..

I hear you, its "rip off UK". Given the chance, I'd be moving out of this "Great" Britain, but for now, I'll just have to put up, shut up and pay up
