We had an interesting e-mail today

[Sim11UK]

Ladybug had an e-mail earlier today, saying "Your visa will be despatched shortly etc. etc."

I'm talking spouse visa, for those who don't know.

It's been a long time coming for us, but we got there in the end. :Cuckoo:
...It's not in the hand, but it can't be anything else can it. (not putting a question mark there) :Jump:

We applied on July 14th & am aware a couple of others, applied around the same time...So just about 2 1/2 weeks. Good luck! to those waiting.

We're very happy :love2:







Arthur, I'm over here :Wave: :D

Actually ... it was the plural, "we", that caught my eye first. Next, I noticed the thread had been started by you ... and I thought ... 'hmm, :rolleyes: ...
... has Simon won the lottery?' But ... no ... :NoNo: ... the organisers would NEVER notify winners online :nono-1-1:. And then - horror of horrors :cwm24: - it even crossed my mind that maybe you'd been targetted for some scam or other (with this sort of ploy becoming increasingly rife these days).

'Interesting email', indeed! It's bloody MARVELLOUS! :Hellooo:

guyki, all I can say is hang in there, not very helpful I know, but hopefully in a few days, you'll get the same email. :)

Thanks all, much appreciated. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Brilliant news - everyday I awake at 6am look at my phone to see if there is a message from Rina about her Visa application! I guess you just have to do the CFO and you will be flying here?

I am sure we are close!!

11. Birth Certificate – one from me and one from him with Xerox copy
12. Travels and wedding Photographs with Xerox copy ( we put travel pictures and wedding pictures to a A4 paper with caption on it. Just select 2 pics from travels then around 20 pics from the wedding and after the wedding.
13. Phone logs with Xerox copy
14. Yahoo Messenger Chat logs with Xerox copy ( we only do for screen shot on YM just to show the time and date on it)
15. Emails with Xerox copy ( we put 5 emails)

Hope it can helped... and please arrange all your documents in order so they will not ask you or not put you on hold and some more people are waiting for their turn .. good luck and once again thanks to everyone :coeurtendre:

Well hopefully within a month. A house has been bought, with her sisters, who are in the US. She has been left, to sort all the renovation work, then needs to move her things in...She's done a great job. It's all good, as family & us, will have a place to stay, when we are there. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Congratulations! on your new status. When are you going to visit? :D
