OH just popped out to our mail box to collect the mail. He came back in saying “Why is Citizenship & Immigration writing to me?”
OMG, perhaps they want to send us back to the UK – but it was only addressed to him, so I replied in a loving wifely way “Well if they are sending you back, you are on your own.” I’m known for my compassionate nature! “Perhaps they are letting us know that we will soon be able to apply for citizenship” I offered
Anyway, we stared at the envelope, neither of us daring to open it. Eventually OH built up the courage and read the contents – a survey! A SURVEY – Don’t the realize that by now both of us felt sick with worry and they send us a bloody SURVEY!!!!!!
Apparently they are conducting a survey of people who emigrated using the skilled worker program so that they can “improve future programs.” It states that although the survey is confidential it will be cross-referenced to info we previously submitted. Seems like they are checking up on people – or am I being paranoid?
Anyway the survey is voluntary, so I think we will give it a miss.
Heart rate is now returning to normal and life goes on….
