Applications
Lots of them. All in a dirty great big chain. First one to the Scottish Vocational Qualifications body to get duplicates of some certificates I’m missing, and the next to retrieve replacement birth and marriage certificates. Once I have birth and marriage certificates, I can get passports organised. Once we have passports and replacement certificates, we can start on the ACS stuff in earnest. God, I’ve never filled in so many forms in my life.
Speaking of passports, we’ve just pumped 38 quid into a passport photo machine – we need a set of four for our migration agent and another two for the passport applications – and there are five of us 
I was a bit disappointed when I saw how the passport photos turned out, though – they’re very brown. They look like very poor inkjet prints. If I’d known they’d look like that (top tip coming up folks) I’d have taken the photos myself. I’m pretty sure iPhoto could do a better job of it.
