elma, really good to hear from you and welcome to bury st edmunds i hope you like it and are settling in ok, it would be great to meet up with you and your partner when annabel is here, at the moment i having a bit of a worry, should i have got something from NSO to say my fiance was free to marry or rather she not been married before ..we applied 8th October still not heard anything, now had application for 15 working days they say defferred pending further enquries but not written to me or annabel so assume its enquries within the philippines ...i am really struggling dont know what i will do if they refuse apart from go to the philippines and marry annabel but i got no more leave left untill may 2010 !!!!

what do you think ?
when i know that she is on her way would be good to swap email not sure you can post email addresses here but i am sure we can find away to talk....please pass my regards to your partner it would be nice to talk maybe he can advise too

take care and enjoy england
regards
jonathan and annabel
