Thanks to everyone for your kind and supportive comments on my last post. Just wanted to share the news that my application for Indefinite Leave to Remain was successful! I got the news last Wednesday in Cardiff. And this August, I’m eligible for Citizenship. I think I’m still reeling from the adrenaline of the nervousness / good news.

No, back to our regularly scheduled program!

[UPDATE March 5, 2011] I just wrote a VERY long post about ILR on immigrationboards.com, an indepensible resource for all immigration matters – I wouldn’t have gotten here under HSMP in the first place if it weren’t for those awesome folks.  Click here to read about my ILR experience at Cardiff.
