ILR Time...

 I know I never updated about the Life in the UK test, so I'll just go ahead and state right now that I passed.

But that's the least of my concerns right now. On November 19, 2021, I submitted my application for Indefinite Leave to Remain. We'd been checking it for a while to see if we could obtain Super Priority, only to realise we are just short of affording it. So, we went for standard. It's been submitted and paid for. The biometrics appointment is on the 25th of November.

Issue is, we also got paid on November 19th. That makes things a little bit more complicated, because we don't have updated bank statements showing this. We had to scramble to get statements printed out today. I'm stressing out right now because Home Office isn't really a fan of documents dated after the application date. 

I'm so stressed I can hardly focus, eat, or sleep. We both meet the minimum income threshold just fine. But what if we get a strict officer looking at our evidence? I personally think it'd be silly to turn us away for that, but refusals have happened in the past to people who have submitted past this date.

It's safe to assume I have a big fear of uncertainty. Hence why I had an issue with health anxiety this time last year. Maybe I should just prepare for the worst...

I feel really sick.

I'm not religious, but I'll hope and pray to every god in existence if I have to. God, Jesus, Allah, Mohammed, Buddha, Zeus, whatever. Please...let my ILR be accepted. Seriously, this is THE LAST STEP!! 

For reference sake, application was £2408 and biometric appointment was £125.
