“Fuck. Focus.”
Jamie paced outside of the door of your new office. The door was open, but the inside was completely bare save a desk, three chairs and a laptop. Due to the impending doom in his brain and the never-ending racing heart in his chest, he hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before. So, instead of waltzing into the changing room just moments before training was due to start, as he normally would, he was there an hour early, waiting for your arrival.
Hesitantly, he made his way into the empty office. Wherever he waited, he would feel like a shithead, so might as well feel like a shithead with his arse in a seat. It didn’t have any signs of you in it just yet, which made sitting there alone much easier to swallow. It wouldn’t be the same in the future, once the room was covered with your fingerprints and homey touches. He took the seat closest to the window. Heavy rain hit the glass and rooftop, making sure to echo throughout the entire building. It made him think of the drive in front of his mum’s house back home, and a little red car packed with luggage.
Blinking, he looked away.
“Jamie?”
He turned to find Dr. Fieldstone at the doorway. Her hand was on the frame as she stared at him.
“You alright, Doc?” He asked, shifting so he could comfortably face her. She took a glance around the room in obvious confusion.
“What are you doing here?” She asked. He took a glance around himself, realising how silly this must’ve looked. 
“Got an appointment this mornin’,” He said. It was a lie. But him feigning confusion was the only sort of explanation he could come up with. Sharon shook her head.
“Your appointment would be with me, but I don’t have you on my schedule.”
This made Jamie scrunch his face up in confusion.
“I thought…” He pointed to the desk. “I thought she…” Before he could continue with his thought, Sharon shook her head. It was like she read his mind. 
“Your appointments will continue with me,” She explained. “I was informed there’s a… conflict of interest.” She tilted her head to the side thoughtfully. 
He wondered how much you had told Sharon. Did she know everything? Did you tell her what he did? The kindness on her face suggested that she didn’t have a clue, but then again, it’s her job to pretend to be nice to him, wasn’t it?
He brought a hand to his face, running it across his forehead. Of course Sharon wasn’t being nice because it’s her job. That was just his mind running away from him. 
“Don’t get yourself worked up, Jamie,” She assured him. “We’re not allowed to treat people we know. It’s just not ethical. Nothing more than that.” He released his held breath. Giving him a knowing look, she leaned forward into the room, lowering her voice. “You can tell me why you think it’s about more than that at your appointment… tomorrow.” 
Oh man. She is good.
Dr. Fieldstone did not loiter, just gave him a final look before walking back to her office. Jamie remained seated as he ran a hand down his face. 
He tried to think of literally anything else, but when he looked outside at the rain again, all it did was bring back more memories of you. 
Every second that he was awake since the revelation yesterday, which had been a lot more time than he would’ve liked, he was on the brink of a complete mental breakdown. At this moment in your office, he found himself preemptively doing his grounding techniques. 
“I see and feel this desk,” He muttered to himself. He placed his other hand on the chair. “I feel this chair. I see a white wall. I see the…the rain…” 
What am I going to do without you?
“God dammit.” Resisting the urge to punch something, he ran his fingers through his hair. Maybe he should just go down to the changing room and get ready for training. Did this conversation really have to happen right now, this early morning? Maybe it could wait, at least until after training.
But it couldn’t. Jamie knew that well enough. It was already affecting him at home, keeping him up at night. Lord only knows how it would hurt him during training, if he didn’t get it out of the way. And if he fucked up on the pitch, Roy Kent would have his balls.
He knew the only way to move on was to open the door to communicate, and the only person to do it had to be the one who closed that door in the first place. Him.  
“Thank god me appointment is tomorrow,” Jamie muttered to himself as he grabbed his phone from his pocket, opening Instagram to pass the time.
“No, mum, I don’t have any appointments today,” You said into your phone speaker as you drove down the road. “It’s my first day. I think I’ll just be signing paperwork and going over policies. All that general stuff.” Behind you came a loud giggle, and when you glanced in the rearview, you caught Ivy hitting her hand against the window. She had always loved the rain, which she couldn’t have learned from you. The rain was your worst enemy.
“Did ya see Jamie Tartt?” Your mum asked, trying to sound casual. You stared out the windscreen, wondering why she would do this right now. All it did was force you to revisit the anger you had felt all of last night that she didn’t warn you of his place on the team. 
“Yes, I saw Jamie,” You sighed. 
“Did you kick him in the fuckin’ balls for me?”
This made you laugh. “No, unfortunately, my new boss who’s kind of scary was right there.” From the other side of the phone, you could hear her mutter something incoherent before she responded.
“Please do, when you get the chance, love.”
As you pulled into the car park of Nelson Road Stadium, Ivy let out another laugh. You could see the car of your babysitter waiting for you. 
“Alright, mum, I gotta go,” You said as you turned the car off. “Love you. I’ll phone later.”
“Love you, darlin’,” She said. “Give Ives a kissie from her nan.” 
“Will do.” Ending the call, you stuffed the phone in your pocket before grabbing your bag and climbing out of the car. When you opened the door to the backseat, Ivy was focused on the stuffed teddy on her lap. “Alright, love. Are you ready to go with the babysitter?” 
Ivy furiously shook her head. 
“No, please.”
You knew it would be hard. She had loved her babysitter back in the United States. Ivy wasn’t the type to become accustomed to strangers quickly, and you worried about the young girl behind you, who was climbing out of her car just as you undid Ivy’s seatbelts. 
“Thank you for meetin’ me here!” Shannon called to you as she shut the car door and made her way over. “My mum needed help with somethin’, and it was faster to meet you than to race home.” 
You glanced over towards her car, spotting the car seat that was similar to Ivy’s. A sigh of relief fell from your chest. At least you didn’t have to transfer the car seat over to her car.
“I should be thanking you,” You said as Ivy curled into your shoulder. “I know it’s last minute but I needed someone fast.” Shannon leaned her head towards Ivy, sending a wave her way. Though the toddler didn’t completely hide her face, she didn’t reciprocate the gesture, either. 
“Hello, Ivy,” She said delicately.
You set your daughter down on the cement. She pressed herself into your legs before looking up at the sky. For a moment, she seemed to forget the fear, her little hands reaching up as she smiled at the clouds. It was hard not to watch when she got like this. You had never seen any toddler behave like this about anything, so of course it would be yours who would have such a delightful, intense love for something.
“She loves the rain,” You explained to Shannon, who was looking at her in awe and confusion. “I’ve never met a toddler more obsessed.” 
Shannon kneeled down to Ivy’s level, her eyes warm and friendly. “I like the rain too. Would you like to be friends, Miss Ivy?” Ivy clearly was debating this, looking up at you for reassurance. You gave her a little nudge with a smile.
“I like Shannon,” You told her. “I think you’ll like her too. But you do have to go with her.” 
Ivy’s gaze found Shannon again as you guided her to the young girl. With all of the hesitation in the world, when Shannon offered her hand, Ivy took it but not before throwing you an unsure glance. 
“Maybe we can jump through puddles for a little bit before going back to the house!” Shannon suggested excitedly. “Would you like that?” Ivy’s eyes seemed to glaze over, and then she was jumping up and down in excitement. You sighed in relief as you kneeled down to say goodbye to your daughter. 
“I love you, babe,” You said to her, giving her a kiss and hug, which she lovingly returned. “Mummy’ll pick you up after work, okay?”
“Love you, mummy!” She shouted as you stood up. 
As Ivy turned to face Shannon, you grabbed a box of belongings for your office out of the backseat of your car. From what you could tell, as far as first meetings go, Ivy was doing incredibly well. Better than you had expected, considering the stress of the move and the new environment. Although, leaving her with babysitters never got any easier. You wished it were possible to just bring her to work with you. Having an adorable, therapy toddler would be perfect for the players.
Well. Except the one you wanted nowhere near her.
You gave them a quick wave before making your way inside. When you threw one last look over your shoulder, you found that Ivy had already found the largest puddle she could, jumping into it and sending water scattering. The anxiety in your chest was replaced with ease. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad, after all.
The security guard waved you through without looking up from his computer. It was livelier this morning than it had been the previous day, with people shuffling down the hallways in packs. As you quickly walked in the direction that Rebecca had shown you to get to your office, you kept your head down. The first day jitters were hitting you hard at this moment. Sounds seemed to fade as you made your way up the stairway towards your office. The idea of being alone for even a moment before you started working with Sharon sounded just heavenly.
 You froze at the top of the steps, your eyes quickly spotting the presence waiting for you.
He was wearing a hat that boldly said I,COG. The brim covered his face as he looked down at his phone, but you knew it was him. You inhaled sharply before taking another step forward.
“Well, this isn’t quite the welcome wagon I had wanted.”
Jamie jumped out of the seat, his phone clattering to the floor. Without looking at him, you crossed into the room and rounded the desk, so you were on the opposite side as him. His eyes followed you the whole way, your chest burning in anxiety. This was the last thing you had expected, let alone wanted, to happen when you walked into Nelson Road Stadium that morning. You set the box of your things on your desk before letting your hands rest on your hips. 
“Fuck,” He muttered as he snatched his phone off the floor. The red in his cheeks and the disgruntled look on his face told you everything you needed to know. He was dreading this conversation just as much as you were. 
“What can I do for you?” Your voice was professional as you tried to put a wall up between yourself and him. Jamie stared at you before shoving his hands in the pockets of his jacket.
“I just…Well…” He sighed. “I thought we should… talk.” 
You let out a prolonged “Oh…” with the corners of your mouth ticking upwards in a smile, but it wasn’t a kind one. The professionalism you had been forcing was quickly melting away. 
“A bit late for this talk,” You said, your eyes staring at the ceiling in thought. “Let’s see… about three years! Yeah, three years too late.” It was hard to keep your anger level down, as it was already boiling over in your chest. The heat that rose up your neck and into your cheeks was intense.
Jamie shook his head. “You have every right to be angry-“
“Well, thank fuck that I have your permission to be angry. No idea what I would do without it.”
Jamie’s hands gripped at the strap of his bag like he was holding on for dear life. You could see his nails were down to the nubs. You couldn’t help but wonder; When did he start biting them again? Pushing the thought away, you scolded yourself for caring.
Part of you felt bad for the sarcasm, but you couldn’t help it. Before starting this line of work, you were the most sarcastic person there was, and seeing Jamie brought out parts of you that you hadn’t visited in a long time. 
It felt like you had jumped into one of your daydreams. The dreams of finally getting to tell Jamie off for the turmoil he caused. In some of them, you were angrier, throwing things and screaming in his face. In others, you were indifferent to him, examining your nails as he begged for forgiveness at your feet. Now that the moment was here, the reality was it felt like it was a combination of a lot of things. The biggest emotion you felt, however, was just pain. Simply looking at him caused your chest to ache. 
For Jamie, however, all he felt was guilt, and waves and waves of devastation. Simply looking at you reminded him of his past failures, of the man his father had turned him into. The man he had been working so hard to stop being. When he would dream of this moment, he never imagined you’d forgive him, so at least you were following the script.
“Can I just explain-“
“I don’t want an explanation,” You said firmly, waving your hand. “I just want to come in, do my job, and leave. I didn’t ask for any of this.” He glanced around the room as he carefully considered his next words. 
“Did- did ya know? That I play here?” He asked slowly. You had begun pulling papers out of the box when he spoke, and you dropped a pad of paper down quite loudly on top of the desk, causing Jamie to flinch. 
“Yeah, Jamie,” You said, rubbing one of your eyes with a fist. “I not only continued to follow your career after you fucking dropped off the face of my world, but I decided to uproot my entire life and move back here from the other side of the Earth and take a job at this football club specifically just because you play here. And I did all of that because I’m still hopelessly in love with you, and am trying to win you back.” 
Jamie cocked a head as he stared at you. Though he should've been focusing on your words, regardless of how malicious they were, he was trying to pinpoint what was so different about you. A long moment passed before he spoke again. 
“Your accent is different.” 
He could tell the statement caught you off guard, as your breath hitched in your throat. 
“The Americans got to me.” It sounded rehearsed, and he wondered how your proud Mancunian mum handled hearing you talk these days. 
The two of you stared at each other in stunned silence. His eyes wandered until something in the box on the desk caught his eye. A small figure with deep brown hair and familiar looking eyes. Taking a step forward, he reached for a picture frame that was on top. 
“Who’s-“
You snap the lid shut, almost catching the tips of his fingers.
“What right do you have to know?” You asked, your voice cold. “What right do you have to know anything about me anymore?” 
He heard it. The quiver in your voice. The falter in your hard exterior. It was disarming. This felt so much different than any other anger you had ever directed towards him. In all of the years he had known you, you had never shut him out like this before. He didn’t know how to take it.
He conceded. “I guess I don’t.” 
“Great,” You said with reformed confidence. “Glad we agree. Now get the fuck out of my office.” Without wasting another second, you turned away from him, as if your heart wasn’t drowning in devastation. Instead, you kept pretending that it was fire in your chest. 
He hovered as you began to unpack the box once more. When you set out the picture frame he had reached for, you had angled it so he couldn’t see who was in the photo. Briefly, he considered trying to look at it again, now that it was out in the open, but he didn’t. The last thing he wanted to do was make you angrier than you already were. Instead, he turned, and made his way out the door and down the stairs. 
The changing room was well and alive when Jamie entered. Laughter and conversation greeted him like an old friend. He made his way to his locker with his head down. Though some hellos were tossed his way, he didn’t return them. His head was spinning too much to speak.
“Oi.”
Jamie turned to find Roy Kent making his way towards him. He sat down on the bench next to where Jamie had set his bag down.
“Did you talk to her?” He kept his voice low to avoid the nosey teammates from overhearing. Jamie scratched his nose.
“Erm yeah. We talked.”
“And how did it go?” Roy sounded surprisingly curious, and, though anyone knew he would never admit it, concerned. 
Jamie shook his head before saying, “Fuckin’ awful, mate.” 
“I think it went as well as expected,” You said into your phone. In the heat of the moment after Jamie had left the room, you did the first thing you could think of to clear your head: Call your mum.
“Did ya…” She hesitated, and you knew whatever she was about to say next wouldn’t be something you liked. “Did ya tell him? About Ivy?” I sigh heavily, the breath forcing its way out of my chest.
“Of course not.”
“He needs to know, love,” Your mum said softly. “Is he a right prick? Of course. But he deserves to know that he’s her-“
“Don’t say it, please.” With your free hand, you rub one of your eyes. You smack it down against the wooden desk before speaking again. “I’ll tell him when I’m ready.” You heard her laugh softly, making you wonder if she was trying to hide it from you. 
“The longer ya wait, the harder it will be, d’ya know what I mean?” 
“Yes, mum.” There was a long pause on the other end of the line, and then you heard a sigh come through the phone.
“You need to call me more so you can start talkin’ like a Mancunian again,” She scolded. “Can’t stand this new pseudo-American accent on you.” You shook your head in annoyance.
“Okay, bye mum,” You said, hanging up before she could say anything else. The phone made a loud noise when you tossed it across your desk. Resting your head in your hands, you let out a loud sigh. The day was not starting how you would’ve liked. 
A gentle knock at the door forced you to look up. Sharon walked into the room with a laptop and a giant binder. Across the spine read “Policies and Procedures.” She was eyeing you, but you couldn’t read her expression. As easy as it was to read everyone else, you clocked Sharon as the type who could hide herself away very well.
“You ready to get started?” She asked, sitting down in the chair that Jamie had previously been sitting in. Inhaling deeply in an effort to appear calm, you nod. 
“Of course.”
Out of the binder, Sharon pulls a stack of papers. 
“These are just the standard tax forms and policy agreements.” 
Without audibly responding, you take the stack and begin to flip through them. The room was silent besides the rain that continued to fall. It was hard to focus, as Jamie’s face kept appearing in your mind. Rope in the fact that you were being watched by someone who could professionally read people, and the struggle was intensely real.
“So…” Sharon started in a casual voice. “You and Jamie Tartt.” 
You glanced up in surprise. It was entirely unexpected for her to bring up. Sharon had a knowing smile on her face, the epitome of innocence. She didn’t wait for you to respond before speaking again. 
“What’s the story there?”
You think about her question. To say something. To not say something. Without meaning to, your eyes fall on the photo of Ivy that now sat on your desk. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see Sharon following your gaze to the frame, though she couldn’t see who was pictured on the other side. 
“It’s a long one,” You tell her as your eyes fall back to the paperwork. She leans back in the seat. 
“Well, I’d love to hear it sometime,” She said in her gentle tone, a hint of curiosity. “If the look on Jamie’s face this morning, or your demeanour right now are any indicator, I’d say it’s certainly an interesting one.”

Slime HRT 3 Months: First changes
Omg omg omg!!! My first real change! It finally happened! Ok! Ok. Ok, let’s start at the beginning, I need to temper my excitement a little bit. To start from the very beginning, the past month I've been drinking so much water lately. I've always been drinking three bottles a day at work but now I’ve been drinking nearly all the time. I was told that was the first sign everything was working. Becoming fluid requires fluids if you can believe it. I have to avoid coffee and tea now, which has been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done in my life, but the caffeine in both can actually be really damaging to your new slime cells apparently. It’s pretty much room temperature water or non-caffeinated energy drinks only. Still, if I need to constantly drink water then at least that means the medication is working.
My skin has gotten so smooth too, it feels like I’m made of warm ice. There's still a lot of hair, and there's still some rough patches on my body, but the hairs and rough spots should disappear after a few more months. It really is just my limbs that have gotten smoother so far, which sadly includes the soles of my feet. I actually ended up slipping on the floor and crashed into the kitchen and directly on all the pots and pans. I was more panicked about if I'd broken anything around me rather than if anything about me was broken! I didn’t break anything, utensil or bone, but it’s clear I need to take more deliberate steps plus socks on if I want to make sure being a soapy slime isn’t going to send me to the hospital.
 It would be worse if I can’t phone anyone to take me to a clinic in the first place. I've heard that after a while you start to lose the ability to use a smartphone since it can't read your fingerprint or something. There's a few people that have made money off making fake fingers for those of us who no longer have skin. It's kind of gross, but my ADHD is definitely not going to survive without constant internet access, it's just another expense of perfecting my life I suppose. All of this new equipment I’ve been looking into has been starting to add up to a lot of money. Does everyone who takes animal HRTs go through this? I’ll need to waterproof my bed, buy a lint trap for cleaning out dust stuck in slime, and buy clothes designed not to sink into me. I don’t actually know if I need those things since it sounds like I’m going to have some kind of membrane, but this is a brand new medication so I don’t think even that doctor knows how things will go for me.
But ok, the big change. Just this morning I was eating a breakfast sandwich and had trouble biting into it. My teeth went rubbery! There's a blue tint to them too now. It's going to be a pain eating food now, I had to pull apart small bits and swallow them whole, and I just gave up on the bread. But now I've been experimenting with them. They aren't like a gel and there's still a few hard ones, but now that I know, I find myself constantly poking them. It just… makes me feel happy when they bounce back. Oh, but if my teeth are like this, I bet it means there's a lot of changes going inside my bones. Though it is concerning how I'm going to be able to stand after a while.
One big downside was that this meant I had to schedule a doctor's appointment. Normally doctor visits are fine for me, you go talk to someone you'll forget in a day and get some blood taken, but I had the feeling this wasn't going to be like that, and I was pretty much spot on. As soon as I entered his office, he just looked at me. Like that kind of look you get when faced with a disapproving parent or a teacher when you forget to turn in your math homework for the eighth time. Same doctor as before, I think there are assistants that handle certain cases but I got stuck with the guy you see in all the magazines outside his office. He asks how things are progressing and I showed him everything that's changed. He looked concerned, but most people can't wiggle their teeth, so that checks out. He mentioned my dosage was going to be increased, and that I should start taking a new medication alongside it. Some newer drug that's supposed to lower my level of humanity and make me more malleable. He told me I would probably see another change soon and then said three months was too big a gap and I needed to write a new entry in this thing, or whatever. Maybe I'll sit tight for four months next time just to show him.
Though the biggest downside of my new self was that one of my roommates had noticed what was going on with me and confronted me about it. Yeah so, I may have forgotten to mention to everyone other than my girlfriend that I was going through with this procedure at that point in time. I was going to tell them eventually, when I was more slimy, probably. They got mad at me for not telling anyone else, but especially not either them or my other roommate. Said it was important for everyone here to know what changes could affect the living situation. Like me being happier is going to hurt anyone. They said they weren't upset about the treatment and just the fact I didn't tell them… But for some reason it still hurt, like they were upset about the treatment. Sometimes that’s just how it is. Someone says the wrong thing and it just breaks you. Slime shouldn’t break, it’s supposed to bend.
I'm going to focus on the changes and avoid bringing up my new self with other people. A few online friends I told are supportive but god forbid what might happen if my family finds out. I'm sure they'll accept me eventually, but they aren't the type to accept change pleasantly. Change. That’s a loaded word for me. I knew there would be some rough spots, but I didn't think things could go this badly for my mental state, this was supposed to be a happy entry. Oops, sorry future me when you look back and read this, haha... I guess I can try to find something happier to write about next time. I think I'm done for tonight. I want to cry. I could really go for some coffee.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prev - Next
Thank you everyone for the support on the last chapter, the amount of likes and reblogs are insane. Seriously, thank you everyone. Apologies for the sudden dark shift in the tone but I’d like to make this a story of self acceptance rather than just a list of changes.
At list (for anyone who wanted to be mentioned)
@a-shramp
We now have a special announcement. Due to some recent events, we have discovered we're plural. We're still trying to figure out this revelation and it has been stressful for all of us. We don’t know if we wish to include our plurality into this story. It's all very new to us. We’ll be taking some extra time from Slime HRT to learn about our system and make an introduction post so you know who’s who. We're very new to this world so any support would be appreciated.

Adjusting Status for K1 Visa Holders in Thailand
For K1 visa holders in Thailand, adjusting status is the process of transitioning from a temporary visitor visa to a permanent resident green card. This is typically done after marrying your U.S. citizen spouse.
When to Adjust Status
You can generally adjust your status within 90 days of entering the U.S. on your K1 visa. If you miss this window, you may need to apply for a different visa category.
Required Documents
To adjust your status, you'll need to submit several documents, including:
Marriage Certificate: A certified copy of your marriage to your U.S. citizen spouse.
Birth Certificate: Copies of your birth certificate and your spouse's birth certificate.
Passport: Your valid passport and a copy of the I-94 arrival/departure record.
Photographs: Two recent color photographs.
Evidence of Relationship: Letters, emails, or other documents that demonstrate the genuineness of your relationship.
Financial Documents: Proof of your spouse's financial ability to support you.
The Adjustment of Status Process
File Form I-485: Complete and submit Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence.
Biometric Services: Attend a biometric services appointment to provide fingerprints and a photograph.
Interview: In most cases, you'll be scheduled for an immigration interview.
Decision: After the interview, the USCIS will make a decision on your application.
Potential Challenges
While the process is generally straightforward, there can be challenges. These may include:
Incomplete or Incorrect Documentation: Ensure all documents are accurate and complete.
Relationship Authenticity: The USCIS may scrutinize the genuineness of your relationship.
Financial Support: You may need to provide evidence of your spouse's financial ability to support you.
Interview Preparation: Be prepared to answer questions about your relationship and your plans for the future.
Seeking Legal Advice
It's highly recommended to consult with an immigration attorney before starting the adjustment of status process. An attorney can help you navigate the complexities of the process and ensure that your application is prepared correctly.
Conclusion
Adjusting status for K1 visa holders in Thailand can be a significant step toward permanent residency in the United States. By understanding the process, gathering the necessary documents, and seeking legal advice, you can increase your chances of a successful outcome.

UK Vignette Visa Transfer
Obtaining a UK visa can be a lengthy process. Thankfully, if your existing visa hasn't expired and your circumstances haven't significantly changed, you might be eligible for a UK Vignette Visa Transfer from Thailand. This article streamlines the process, guiding you through the steps involved.
What is a UK Vignette Visa Transfer?
The UK Vignette Visa Transfer allows you to transfer your existing visa from your old passport to your new one. This applies to visas with a validity period of 30 or 90 days, acting as a temporary entry permit to collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) once you're in the UK.
Benefits of a Transfer
Saves Time and Money: Compared to applying for a completely new visa, a transfer is often faster and less expensive.
Avoids Delays: You won't have to wait for a new visa decision, allowing you to travel to the UK as planned (within the original visa validity period).
Who Can Apply for a Transfer?
You can apply for a transfer if:
You have a valid UK visa vignette in your old passport.
Your visa hasn't expired.
You have a new passport.
There haven't been any significant changes to your circumstances since your original visa application (e.g., employment status, finances).
The Transfer Process from Thailand
Here's a simplified breakdown of the transfer process from Thailand:
Online Application: Access the UK government's online visa application portal (https://www.gov.uk/transfer-visa). Choose "transfer your visa to a new passport online if you're outside the UK."
Complete the Application: Fill out the application form electronically, providing details about your current visa, new passport, and travel plans.
Fee Payment: Pay the transfer fee of currently £154 (subject to change).
Biometric Appointment: Schedule a biometric appointment at a designated visa application center in Thailand. This involves capturing fingerprints and a digital photograph.
Supporting Documents: Gather the required documents, which typically include your old passport with the visa vignette, your new passport, and proof of your online application submission.
Submit Your Application: Attend your biometric appointment and submit your application package.
After Submission
Processing Time: The processing time for a transfer can take up to three weeks, though it can vary depending on individual circumstances.

This is a stupid post about the stupid government and me being mad.
Last week I called the government's customer service line to try to confirm whether a client of mine would need to have a fingerprint appointment. Fingerprints are usually required for this type of matter, but the online system and the automatic system on the customer service line were both reading that fingerprints had already been applied to the case.
This can sometimes happen when a person has fingerprints on file and the government saves resources by just using those. They'll keep the extra filing fee you paid, of course, but they won't require you to show up at the appointment.
If they don't need an appointment, usually they send a letter confirming that. But we hadn't received one and my client was desperate to leave the country to get back to her ailing mother. I just wanted to confirm for her with customer service that the information online and on the phone was accurate and she would not need to appear for an appointment.
But because the government is trying to reduce reliance on the customer service number, the automated system has increasingly made it difficult to connect to an actual person. No matter what I said, asking the phone line questions, it kept insisting that it (the automated system) could help me or that I could find assistance online. Eventually it just said, 'If you keep requesting to speak to a service agent, I will be forced to end this call.' And that's basically what happened. I couldn't figure out a way around it and was disconnected.
My client decided to just rely on what both the phone and online system were saying and departed the country to return to her mother.
Yesterday we got her fingerprint appointment notice in the mail, scheduled for next week.
Furious at this point, I called the customer service number again, and this time I managed to get through to the service agent queue by saying there was an error on the account. The wait time was estimated as 19 minutes. I waited 30.
When I was able to speak, I told the service agent why I was calling and what I was trying to understand. At which point she told me that for the last two weeks the phone and online status systems have been broken due to a "technical issue." So the information was incorrect and my client does in fact need to appear to have her fingerprints taken.
Anyhow, working with the government sucks and I'm still mad about this today so here it is.

Collect your visa: Once the application is processed, collect your passport with the visa affixed inside, ensuring all details are accurate before departure.
It's essential to monitor the progress of your application and promptly respond to any requests for additional information or clarification from the consulate or visa processing center.
Tips for Success:
Enhance your chances of a successful France visa application by following these tips:
Plan ahead: Initiate the visa application process well in advance of your intended travel dates to account for processing times and unforeseen delays.
Thoroughly review requirements: Familiarize yourself with the specific requirements for your chosen visa category and ensure all documents are complete and compliant.
Maintain transparency: Provide truthful and accurate information in your application and during any interviews or interactions with visa authorities.

MOTHERFUCKING STORY TIME
This isn't something I usually talk about or put out there for people I don't really know to see, but I think it's important that people hear this.
About 5 years ago I was at the beginning of a promising career in Life Insurance. The company I worked for marketed primarily to members of Unions but also had a program where people could request that an agent come out and deliver a free kit designed for parents/guardians to gather all of the information necessary for filing an Amber Alert in one place (including fingerprints). Obviously, there was no monetary charge for the kit, but you had to sit and listen to the life insurance presentation before you got the kit. (I never really pushed the insurance during those visits because it felt scummy to me) To get one of these kits you filled out a request online and then someone from the office would call you and set up a time to come out and explain the kit (and insurance). If we couldn't get in touch with you via the phone number you provided we would often drop by while in the area to see if you were still interested and if so schedule an appointment.
You're probably wondering what this has to do with putting other people's faces on social media. Well, one day I was doing one of those drop-by visits and the person didn't remember sending in the request. No big deal, sometimes there was a delay in the information being sent to the office. So I stood outside the front door talking with the very nice lady and explained the program and she seemed to remember it. Around then a man, I'm assuming her husband, arrived home from work. He was not as friendly and in fact, made me quite scared to be there. He made it clear that they were no longer interested, if they ever had been in the first place, and I said that wasn't a problem I'd remove their name from the list, have a nice day, and I left. I thought that was the end of it.
That night I got a call from one of my coworkers telling me that there was a post about me on Facebook saying that I was going door to door telling people I was from the State Police and that I was trying to steal children's information. The post was made by the "nice lady" who additionally called the State Police about me. I immediately called my supervisor and the post had been reported to her a few hours earlier by another agent and she was already working with the agency to figure out what to do. Because by the time I was made aware of the post, there were several hundred responses. Including a photo of me crouched by my car a few days earlier when I'd been putting fix a flat in a tire while out on appointments (This photo was captioned stating that I was "hiding behind my car and casing the trailer park" and had been taken from behind the curtain of a neighboring trailer). Then, someone went digging and found a very old Facebook profile picture of me and posted that.
And then the threats started.
People were threatening to sic dogs on me or shoot me on sight. People were accusing me of horrible things, that had no basis in reality. And what made it even worse was that the Facebook page was for the County I live in. So these people literally surrounded my everyday life. At any moment I could be minding my own business at the grocery store, or gas station, or restaurant and one of these people could see me and do physical harm to me.
It took over 2 months for the State Police to finish their investigation and clear me of any wrongdoing. The "nice lady" never had to make any attempt to correct the false information she posted about me. I had to have my work territory changed twice, and ultimately wound up quitting because I was too scared to even just go out in public (let alone continue the work that lead to literal death threats). I spent over a year terrified to so much as walk across the street to get the mail. It took a lot of therapy to get me to where I could even marginally function in public again.
Social media of any kind is, by definition, social. Anything you put out there can be seen by anyone and can put people in danger. You don't know who is hiding from an abusive ex, or in the witness protection program, or still in the closet because they'll be assaulted by their family, or even just someone trying to do their job and help people and how your interpretation of their actions could change, disrupt, or even end their life.
Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go take an Ativan to stave off the anxiety attack that rehashing this whole episode of my life has caused.
It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc

British Citizenship Application Process
 Applying for British citizenship can be a significant step for individuals seeking to make the UK their permanent home. The process may seem daunting, but understanding the steps involved can simplify the experience. In this article, we will explore the British citizenship application process in detail, including essential requirements, necessary documents, and tips for a successful application. For expert guidance, consider consulting ASHER AND TOMAR SOLICITORS, who specialize in immigration law and can help you navigate the complexities of the process.
Understanding British Citizenship
Before diving into the application process, it is essential to understand what British citizenship entails. Citizenship grants individuals the right to live, work, and study in the UK, as well as the ability to apply for a British passport. There are different routes to British citizenship, including naturalization and registration.
What is Naturalization?
Naturalization is the process through which a non-British citizen can become a British citizen. This route is commonly pursued by individuals who have lived in the UK for a specified period. The eligibility criteria for naturalization are as follows:
Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old.
Residence: You must have lived in the UK for at least five years (or three years if married to a British citizen).
Good Character: Applicants must demonstrate good character, which typically means having no serious criminal convictions.
Language Proficiency: You must prove your proficiency in English (or Welsh/Scottish Gaelic).
Life in the UK Test: You must pass the Life in the UK test, which assesses your knowledge of British history, culture, and customs.
The British Citizenship Application Process
The application process for British citizenship involves several key steps. Here's a breakdown of what you need to do:
Step 1: Gather Required Documents
Before applying, ensure you have all the necessary documents. Commonly required documents include:
Valid Passport: Your passport or travel document.
Biometric Information: You will need to provide biometric data (fingerprints and photograph).
Proof of Residence: Documents showing your address in the UK for the required period, such as utility bills or bank statements.
Language Proficiency Evidence: A certificate confirming your English language proficiency or an exemption if applicable.
Life in the UK Test Pass Certificate: Proof that you passed the test.
Step 2: Complete the Application Form
You must fill out the appropriate application form, which can be completed online. The most common form for naturalization is Form AN. Ensure all information is accurate and complete, as errors can lead to delays or refusals.
Step 3: Pay the Application Fee
There is a fee associated with the British citizenship application, which can vary. As of 2024, the fee for adults is £1,330, while children may have a reduced fee. This fee is non-refundable, even if your application is unsuccessful.
Step 4: Submit Your Application
After completing the application form and gathering your documents, you can submit your application online or by post. If applying online, you may need to upload your documents electronically.
Step 5: Attend a Biometric Appointment
After submitting your application, you will receive a request to attend a biometric appointment. This appointment is typically scheduled at a local application center. During this appointment, you will provide your fingerprints and photograph.
Step 6: Wait for a Decision
Once your application is submitted, you will wait for a decision from the Home Office. The processing time can vary but generally takes around 3 to 6 months. You can check the status of your application online.
Step 7: Attend a Citizenship Ceremony
If your application is approved, you will receive a letter inviting you to attend a citizenship ceremony. This ceremony is a formal event where you will take an oath of allegiance to the UK and receive your citizenship certificate. You must attend the ceremony within three months of receiving your invitation.
Tips for a Successful Application
Be Thorough: Ensure all your documents are complete and correctly submitted. Incomplete applications can lead to delays or refusals.
Seek Legal Advice: Consider consulting with immigration experts like ASHER AND TOMAR SOLICITORS for personalized advice and assistance throughout the application process.
Stay Informed: Keep up to date with any changes in immigration laws that may affect your application.
Prepare for the Life in the UK Test: Study the official materials provided by the government to increase your chances of passing the test.
Conclusion
Navigating the British citizenship application process can be complex, but with the right preparation and guidance, you can achieve your goal of becoming a British citizen. For tailored support and expert advice, reach out to ASHER AND TOMAR SOLICITORS, who can assist you at every step of the journey.
