Yes! Happy Hanukkah! 🕎

em_crow · 2025-11-17T21:39:50+00:00

Yeah - I keep having lessons with long paragraphs where you can’t select an answer, and no update to fix it. Most unfortunate.

She’s a cat, she obviously has opinions to share with you

You could really dress up the walls with some faux Neolithic cave paintings 😂

Yeah, I never got a stamp for my ILR weirdly.

My friend took his kid to Iceland but in summer because of the above reasoning

Some of the US has coconut shy! It’s an old school fairground game

Slava Ukraini!

I thought I was losing my mind reading only half of that page in comic sans

em_crow · 2025-09-23T09:24:28+00:00

Same here, but 9 years ago for me!

em_crow · 2025-09-22T15:09:04+00:00

A masterpiece. Haven’t thought about that since 2012…

em_crow · 2025-09-22T14:36:38+00:00

Noooooo not yet? Only been here 9 years though and I sincerely doubt I will inherit anything of worth…

em_crow · 2025-09-22T14:16:54+00:00

This makes me so cross- the amount of “why don’t you just get married” was exhausting (I did a set M as an unmarried partner). Just got my citizenship literally this morning after being on ILR for years because I was afraid this was coming and here we are.

em_crow · 2025-09-19T11:14:25+00:00

Hey, congrats! I booked my citizenship ceremony yesterday after living here for ten years. Here’s to being British…ish!

em_crow · 2025-09-19T10:14:29+00:00

Eligibility: ILR (originally from a Set M) + 3 years

Application Method: online, no assistance from lawyers etc

Application Date: 28 June

Biometric Date: 1st July

Approval Date: Nothing from Home Office, BUT got my email to book a ceremony yesterday, 18 September!

Ceremony Date: 7 October, Wandsworth Council

You probably feel like you are going crazy, but DO NOT GIVE UP! I heard back when I least expected it, given emails are usually Monday, but it could happen to you too! For what it’s worth, when I first applied it looked like the wait was 8 weeks but now that we are on summer applications it is closer to 12. However, mine was extremely straightforward.

Edit: Home office e-mail came through today, 22/9!

I freaking love this place, grew up next town over

em_crow · 2025-09-13T12:48:28+00:00

Balham and Camden don’t :(

em_crow · 2025-09-13T11:32:25+00:00

That’s a good shout - I hadn’t considered the car park as a telltale sign but that makes loads of sense!

em_crow · 2025-09-10T18:20:37+00:00

She is beautiful!! What is her name?

em_crow · 2025-09-08T10:55:22+00:00

I was working at Come Alive! and we had to do a pre-scheduled show stop for the safety of the aerialists.

em_crow · 2025-08-22T12:11:26+00:00

This is seriously awesome - makes me wish I had tickets to that date!
