    woke up with a call few minutes ago!!!

    was still sleeping when my celfon rang...

    chryss: hello

    man: hello is this chistiana?

    chryss: yes this is chritiana

    man: hi i'm **** (i forgot his name coz was still sleepy) from the british embassy. how r u doing?

    chryss: i'm doing good thanks.

    man: so, u r married to adam?

    chryss: yes

    man: when did u get married?

    chryss: july 19, 2008

    man: and when did u first met?

    chryss: online september 2006

    man: how many times did u meet?

    chryss: 3 times

    man: u have a son?

    chryss: yes but he never saw his father.

    man: and u'r not married to this guy?

    chryss: no

    man: when r u planning to go to UK?

    chryss: early february... because we're expecting a baby.

    man: oh do you.. congratulations! when is it due?

    chryss: thank you. due in april.

    man: i'm sorry i can't release ur visa because u can't fly when u'r six months pregnant.

    chryss: (paused at a moment) but we checked airlines that i could fly till my 38 weeks..

    man: i see (pretending he was surprise).. when do u want me to release ur visas? today or in february?

    chryss: (seems i didn't hear that) I'm sorry.

    man: when did u want me to release ur visas for you and your son can fly to UK?

    chryss: aaahhh... hoping u can release it today...

    man: ok, i'll be releasing ur visas today..

    chryss: really?... oh, thank you thank you thank you... (didn't know how many times i said thank you)

    can't remember if the man still said anything... i was shock for a moment then called my husband...

    well, that was just my brief conversation with the ECO (it was just 2 minutes and 12 seconds).. can't remember exactly though.

    i know he said me and my son can go to UK... so i'm sure the decision is final right???

    im very very happy... though still little nervous coz the visa is not yet in my hand...

    wasn't expecting the call.. didn't think that they're conducting a short interview through foncalls.

    because of my excitement i just found out that i mispelled my name twice in here

    still have doubts coz i haven't got our visa papers yet...

    Great, great stuff!

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.
