Interesting. So coming from Australia back then it was one application via post with a few passport photos + proof of ID & job offer. No DNA or finger prints or police registration. I recall something about them maybe performing criminal record checks on their end but that was it

Well,
@samhforbes did it more recently. If you're curious if it has changed for Australians we can ask him!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Except with PhD offer (his case), not job offer, although there might be overlap.

I dread to think how it has changed. I eventually got my UK citizenship in 2014 (I wasn't going to bother but a friend told me to do it NOW in anticipation of the growth of the far right) & they were bang on. I would not want to try now. UK is a different place.

I know people doing it now and it's easy enough for them because they are White etc., so I mean personal circumstances are important to take into account too. I did it in 1988 because I had no choice as being stateless is not very good.

He didn't follow the rules, which I was assuming the person would though. Not I agree with the rules, but most applicants, whether white or not, tend to perfectly follow the rules.

I did follow the rules but the changed the rules after I submitted my application... Leaving that aside, I never complained about the copy&paste way of how that is done. Many people less privileged than me could easily run afoul & be terrified to death by that - and they were :/

Oh, shit. That's awful. I had no idea that the rules changed. Ugh. I'm so sorry.

That shows me for assuming they are decent.
