    Red face My VISA journey is coming to an END.

    Hello everyone!

    I just wanted to share that I will be taking my oath ceremony on the 12th of May this year. I am mixed emotions you know, I cant stop asking myself if its true that I will become a British citizen this year and finally finish my battle with visas and immigration. All them forms, documents, MONEY that we have spent, time, biometrics and all, it was all worth it in the end.

    I want to say THANK YOU to all of the people who have helped me and my husband Paul from the start to finish! This forum has been my rock on my immigration journey and I wouldnt be here in the UK living happily and content without your help.

    This forum also gave me the way to meet some of our members and we ended up good friends in the end until now. So thank you for that as well.

    To Sir Keith, Rayna, JoeBloggs, Sir Peter, Sir Arthur and to ALL of our lovely members here who have shared their knowledge and spent their time advising and answering my querries I raise my glass to all of you, THANK YOU very much again for all the help.

    One part done, my daughters visa next!

    Congratulations Novie, hope you have a great day. Don't forget dual citizenship as your Philippine passport becomes nearer to renewal!

    Well done and congratulations



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Without this forum sir peter I dont think we will go through all this easy and quickly. We are planning yes to bring her here permanently next year, hoping it will all be fine. Thank you for being part of it, happy days!

    Hi Novie,

    First Congrats to you, finally you're done with your visa journey.
    I haven't been active in the forum for awhile (apologies to all), I just had a baby shes 15 weeks now, and next month I'm planning to apply for british citizenship.

    Could anybody please enlighten me.
    Form AN is the one I need to use right?
    And also my baby is born here in Scotland, do I need to include here in my application?
    Just want to add my husband and I will use NCS (Edinburgh) for assistance.

    Thank you. HAN
