British Expatriate Network

I received my new green card in the post today. No interviews or anything other than the usual biometrics nonsense at the start of the year, all in all I guess it took about six months from the submission of the initial paperwork, Maybe seven.
Crikey- now I don't have to do that for another ten years.
G & T's all round!!:D:D

Amazing, first time for me took 4 1/2 years.

What's all this biometrics stuff? I've just had to apply for a new UK passport and all I need is A4 paper to print off their forms, try buying A4 paper in the US, and two photos and a helluva a lot of money.
Oh and congrats on the green card. Makes a weird but subtle difference. Cheers!!

I just gave my green card up last week - but now I notice my UK passport is going to expire next year - always something, isn't there?
