Nice to know, we're setting out for there in the not too distant future... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Is this for ILR? You have two different meetings IIRC- one with someone who checks everything through- then a bit later with the person who will handle the stamp. It took 2 hours from beginning to end, and we actually had to do this twice. This was because we weren't prepared for how quickly the NY consulate would handle the case. As it turned out, we weren't prepared to move to the UK until three months after the settlement visa had been approved, which meant that we couldn't make the full two years of residency prior to getting ILR- so we had to go to apply for a three month extension. I wasn't delighted about it (as it was �250 a pop), but at least the experience there was good. We were complimented on having put all the douments, indexed(!) in a binder. Something to consider if that's required for your visit. -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate http://www.davidhorne.net - real address on website "Abominable, loyal, blind, apparently subservient."
