good luck aposhark
the anxiety / waiting will kill you both after the application is made, but its all worth it in the end
then when your wifes here you go through it all again opening joint bank accounts, registering at the GP's, getting NI number (which we still have not done yet 1 year later)
its great to hear the stories from other members, it just brings a smile to my face remembering all the same feelings
