FlyingBok,
AV = Ancestral Visa. Permission to stay and work in the UK on the basis of a grandparent having being born here. Used to be after 4 years you could apply for indefiinite leave to remain - timing would have been just right on our son's child passport if the &*$ing rules hadn't changed. Now 5 years with everyone already here on AV (and other working visas) having to spend money on applying for an extension and wait another year.
Thanks
