so i bet you’re all wondering, “what ever happened to that citizenship lark?”

bloody good question, i might add.

well, so it would seem that there were a *lot* of applications submitted before the deadline for the fee increases, and mine was one of zillions. so i submitted it back at the end of march, finally got acknowledgement that they’d received it the first week of may… and have been trying to put it out of my mind ever since, with little to no success.

three months seems to be my limit because by monday i just couldn’t take it any more. so i rang up the home office’s nationality hotline, who helpfully told me that they’d just made a decision on my application, and that i should be hearing in a few days. they *unhelpfully* were unable to give me any hints as to what that decision might be.

and of course, with the rolling royal mail strikes and ensuing postal backlog (which could take weeks to clear), i’ll be lucky to get anything before i leave for my trip to the states.

i wish i’d never even called and just continued on in blissful ignorance! this must be god’s way of torturing me.

pj harvey – hardly wait
