Nice one braveheart. Its as simple as that.

It does make you wonder why postals take 3 to 6 month while the same service takes.....one day.

The requirements are minimal to say the least as all the legwork has been performed on the entry visa.

According to the application form, you need to submit passports plus photocopies of the passports with all the stamped pages. I guess saving them time and money.

It also states all paperwork original.

ah..thanks for the promp reply gwapito just making sure..

Hello Pat,

I think you did good with your documents. Don't worry, I am sure it's fine!

All the best for you.

[andy222]

Congrats happy for you.

[ConfusedMe]

COngratulations! You are free from all these paperworks now... How is Life in the UK test like? Any tips ? What should I expect on the test?

[PAT]

Thanks Braveheart.....

[Braveheart]

Hello ConfusedMe,

Modesty aside, the Life in the UK test is easy! Read the recommended reviewer and do a lot of practice test on the computer.

I am sure everything will be fine and you'll pass it

Best of luck and wishing you all the best.

[Terpe]

..................do a lot of practice test on the computer.

Totally agree with that.

Much better than trying to remember everything from the book.
