An update to my original article on my Ancestry Visa application…

While I’d originally been told that the application could take up to 12 weeks to be processed, surprisingly the Visa arrived in less than two and half weeks. I posted the package at lunchtime Thursday, and Wednesday-week later received an e-mail telling me the Visa was dispatched and my materials will be returned within a few days. The package arrived before lunchtime on the following Monday. It begins in mid May and provides me with up to 5 years cover for my existence in the UK.

Now I just need to get there around August and find a job…
