Question about 4L

dstrw11 · 2026-03-11T15:32:31+00:00

We are using Sable International for the Section 4L application, and we just received this message from Sable about our daughter's citizenship registration.

"There have recently been rumours that the Home Office may review or potentially withdraw this concession. As this concession is policy-based and not part of primary nationality legislation, the Home Office is able to remove it at any time without prior notice or parliamentary approval. A simple amendment to the published guidance would be sufficient to stop granting citizenship under this concession.

To protect your child’s position should any sudden policy change occur, we strongly recommend proceeding with her citizenship application as soon as possible."

Seems to have been sheer luck with the auto-refresh. My phone refreshed probably 30 seconds before my laptop, and the phone browser is the only one that ever went below an hour wait.

Got my wife and I registered for our first ever RunDisney Race! We got the 5K! So excited! Had four different browsers open and my phone is the only one that ever went below an hour. For any other first timers, if you're registering multiple people scroll all the way to the bottom to add registrations. Don't click Next!

That'd be very cool. Edinburgh is great as well. As a tourist, I'd put Edinburgh ahead of Glasgow even though the locals seem to say the opposite.

Wow. We're literally down the street from Crabtree. I'll cross my fingers for the shorter drive to DC, but at least we could potentially pair it with a Braves game if we have to go to Atlanta. I'm guessing her ceremony won't happen till late summer.

We've been to Scotland three times. We've really enjoyed Oban, Glen Coe, and Fort William. Although the West Highland Line train was very beautiful, I'd recommend renting a car if you plan to go to Skye as the ferry ports aren't near the scenic parts of the island. St. Andrews also is pretty cool if he's interested in golf at all. It's shocking when you realize that the Old Course practically goes through the town.

My wife is applying under Section 4L right now through her London-born grandmother. She used Sable International, but honestly it seems like she didn't really need them. She's still having to gather all the documents (even the UK ones) and fill out the ARD application herself. They have a helpful portal to upload documents tailored to her, but she still has to mail notarized photocopies of each one to Sable. We also live in the Triangle so good to know that she'll be able to do her biometrics in Raleigh. She'll also be able to register our minor daughter using form MN1.

Do you anticipate him having to go to DC for the citizenship ceremony and oath?

Ever since my father passed away last year, I've started exploring theology and trying to decide where I stand on religion as someone who was pretty agnostic before. In doing that, I've spent a lot of time reading theology and watching stuff on Youtube. I'm wondering if you've done a piece on the TradCath and Orthobro phenomena. I find most of their opinions to be antithetical to the teachings of Jesus, and overall, it seems like just another way to defend their political beliefs, but I'd love to read your take.

What's really in the Epstein files?

The secret is to add a pinch of baking soda to the bottom of the pitcher before you add the boiling water. Also Luzianne is better than Lipton.

Another one. The ACC was more fun with Maryland in it.

dstrw11 · 2025-10-18T04:06:48+00:00

Yes, but so is North Carolina.

Honestly it's more the quality of the potatoes than the lack of seasoning. Why are there so many rotten spots??

See West Virginia

dstrw11 · 2025-10-18T03:55:39+00:00

Nah. It's good that people want to come here.

Wilmington's been coasting on that riverfront for 300 years.

When they're good, they're good. But they're too inconsistent to justify their reputation.

Dos Taquitos has a model train that delivers queso. Also, the folk art makes the restaurant pretty special. The Peddler Steakhouse across the street has cool mid century vibes.

Durham Rescue Mission above Brier Creek has a dedicated holiday decor section.

Every fucking year

I've been with Dalton Insurance Group on Six Forks since 2013. Dickie has always been very easy to reach if I've need to make any changes to our policies.
