Thanks Arthur - yes you're right of course. There's no rhyme nor reason and I really feel for anyone who's waiting. I'm also glad to have Mrs Anakin off my back, because sometimes she'd even blame me personally!

... there's absolutely NO rhyme nor reason, because the "spadework" has already been carried out when partners apply to come here in the first place. 'Leave to Remain', in itself, OUGHT to be nothing more than a mere formality and, like you, I also empathise with the strain and frustration the ludicrous processing times are bound to inflict on the very BEST of relationships.

Shame on the UKBA!
