Interesting thread and at least I'm seeing that I'm in the same boat as others.
I applied for our FLRM back in June 2012 and I got all excited when we were asked to do the biometrics in early August. Seems like I may still have months to wait though.
I thought it would be pretty straight forward tbh. I've got the income and savings to sail through their requirements and the other half has already been in the country for nearly 3 years anyway.
Have to say my biggest beef is that they've got all of my important docs. Passport, marriage license, accounts, bank statements, etc. and not only do I need to travel on business soon, but I'd like all my stuff in order as I'm starting a probate process as an executor.
My understanding is that if I ask for stuff back, including my passport, it invalidates the application?
They can take the next ten years sorting the effing application out but I just want all my stuff back!
Writing to the MP might be a way forward,
