British Citizenship
Just to let you all know that my wife Louella and my step-daughter Mary Grace attended their British citizenship ceremony yesterday so are now British citizens. Although Mary Grace didn't have to legally, she decided that she wanted to do the oath thingy. Louella even filled in the electoral registration form so she will be able to vote for the first time next year. Then last night we went online and filled in the passport applications for them both. Just got to wait now for the forms to arrive, sign them and send them off.

I doubt it very much, she's quite a good judge of character and I don't think that Cameron will convince her to vote for him as she seems to have an inbuilt distrust of slick, slimy characters who appear to jump on every passing bandwagon. But you never know, she might just make a mistake with the voting slip.

The NHS has progressed in leaps and bounds under the Socialists - MRSA, Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Stafford Hospital etc etc.
Still if she continues to work in the NHS she might get lucky and get on the gravy train joining the hundreds of NHS bureaucrats on the list of Public Sector "Employees" earning over £150000 pa. I bet these fat bloated leeches are quaking with fear at the return of a Tory Govt.

Not exactly, I dont' belong to any party and if there was another party I could believe in that had a cat in hells chance of gaining power I would vote for them. I just happen to believe that Cameron is a lightweight who will jump on any bandwagon to get himself elected. I also have a long memory and I remember all to well the divisive nature of the last tory government, looking after the haves and to hell with the have nots.
Just because the labour party has moved a bit too much to the right for my liking doesn't mean I'm going to vote for someone who only pretends to be somewhere near the middle just to get elected. David Cameron can pretend to be as modernistic as he wants to, but the party behind him are the same kind of people who were there with Maggie Thatcher and they still hold the same core beliefs.

I met my wife in person for the first time in October 2005, got married in June 2006 and she arrived here at the end of September 2006. September 2008 we applied for and granted ILR and then one more year to qualify for British citizenship. Sent off the applications for citizenship at the end of October this year and that came through a few weeks later. So all in all, from arriving here through to citizenship was about 3 years and 3 months.

Congrats to louella and Mary Grace. Good to read of a young citzen wanting to take part in such an important (i feel) ceremony sadly many when we went didn't bother it was all a bit of a chore for them
We do take the right to vote lightly and whoever Louella votes for or doesn't the important thing is she has the right to
I dont know where you are in relation to the nearest post office but the Wife went down to the local town centre post office and all of the counters even the currency exchange counters (which were not busy) had forms avaiable at the counters. I requested some blank forms to be sent and they never arrived in fact did it twice and on both occasions untill this moment months later i recieved nothing. So maybe worth if someone has the time to pop in and pick up a couple of forms
Im sure you did but dont forget to look at the spelling in the two passports and on the citzenship forms just in case they dont match.
Also worth researching where the three nearest passport interview offices are. The Wife ended up going to one which on the system is the third furtherest away but easier and nicer to go to
Once again well done to the two LadiesOh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

I agree and who she decides to vote for is her own business even if she takes a liking to the Monster Raving Looney Party.
She actually filled in the forms online and it says on there that the completed forms will be sent out to her and Mary Grace to be signed and returned.
She checked the citizenship forms for errors before we even got home.
I don't know where you check that online, but her friend who also lives in Coventry recently attended her interview in Warwick which is only about 10 miles from us.

Cool as im sure your aware as well as wanting to help you and your family, I added in case it may help others when they search
Such a joy to organise holidays, hear about long business trips which i might want to invite the missus along on or simply enter competions without worrying that we dont have to jump any special hoops just for the Wife if we won a holiday abroad which could be quite depressing for her.Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

Update. That must be a record.
My wife and step daughter just received their British passports today. That's very quick, Dec 23th citizenship ceremony, filled in the online passport applications the same day, received the letter to make an appointment for the passport interview on Thursday the 14th of Jan (well I suppose the they deserved to have some time off over Christmas), phoned up that very night at about 8:00pm, got an interview appointment the very next day at 4:45pm and the passports both arrived today.

Congratulations to all three of you !
It's true Labour Government has failed to make clean hospitals a priority ... but resistance of "bugs" to antibiotics is a worldwide problem due to overuse and abuse of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine. It's a bigger problem in the USA and also affects the Philippines.
