My wife has her Visa now! YAY

[James Hubbard]

YAY

so very happy,

my wifey has her visa now, it arrived today :D YAY

The wait for the passport to be couriered was longer than the wait for the processing!

From her submission, to their completion of the "processing" it took - i think - 2 working days!

Because our app was ultra-organised with neurotic precision :D

so she will be coming here with me in November - I go to the Phils for a holiday from Oct 01 - Nov 01!

YAY I am so happy, the waiting is over :D and the celebration time can begin :D:D:D:D

Have you tried http://www.kayak.co.uk/ it is a comparison site which gives the ticket prices from various outlets. I have it set to give me regular email updates, as the prices vary from day to day?
