It is applicant's responsibility to provide evidence to back their case.
Noajithan, you're quite the 'know it all' condescending sorts aren't you given your recent tirades and jibes annoying some folk? I never said it a rubber stamp right. I know it's a privilege and one I pay a huge fees for. If it's a privilege then they should not be making ££ from it like many other nations. The fact that rich people can fast track implies it's a business to an extent.
And what's the point of connected government agencies if they can't work together to join up and access information centrally? Also isn't it UKVI who does both visa and citizenship application based on some written down guidance rules or does the home secretary personally bestow this honour upon us?
Please...don't think we are idiots here and don't comment for the sake of commenting even if you're a moderator!
Have a good day!
I have never accused anyone of mentioning the phrase "
rubber-stamp". And would never do so.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. And that includes a sloppy application with wishy-washy evidence.
The advice to
take nothing for granted holds good, based on experience.
The fee is just a contribution for the processing.
You are buying nothing tangible with your coin. It doesn't work that way here.
And my understanding is that HO operating costs are not yet covered in full by such fees.
In the real world,
despite 400 or 500 years of British civil service and public administration, the system is still
Kafkaesque, inefficient and, frankly, broken.
Don't you get it, the point is
there is no point. We are not
masters of the Universe.
That is why it is unreasonable to think '
they' will work in any kind of joined-up way, and certainly not 'for you';
with left-hand knowing what right-hand is doing - that'll be the day.
I can recognise and embrace that - and live with it.
I'm sure many who are not burdened with moderation (as I am) may recognise it as well.
For the sake of your faux indignation and blood pressure I suggest you do too.
And here's the thing, with all its faults and appalling climate, this is still a country where folks are free to comment on a
public internet discussion forum without another's say so. The clue is in the name.
