Sorry for the confusion, the Border Agency is what Immigration control is calling themselves now here in the UK. I move here 4 years ago on a 4 year ancestry visa and they have since changed this to a 5 year visa. They now inform me, well their website does, that I have to extend this another year for £465! Thats to allow me to meet the 5 year requirement of full time residency prior to being allowed unlimited leave to remain. I was just wondering if anyone works for them or knows someone who does. My EAP from work tells me that they have to honour my original 4 year visa and give me an option to renew or become naturalized, after passing the British knowledge test; which costs even more.
Oh joy, maybe I should just go back to the great white north and sail in the summer months, no councils to tell you what to do all the time, sorry just not a good day.
