    Did I threaten to beat them up Keith hehehehehe, lining up for hours, yes I remember that, when the good time used to roll, when me Rob and many other guys used to hang around at the 7-11 round the back for ersatz coffee remember that Rob ? then sweating our hides off talking to the marines outside, and generally making a nuiscance of ourselves, then breathing a sign of relief when the visa was issued, o what a lovely war we had ! Wonder what happened to Kenny from Birmingham with his wife ? she was declined a visa, I remember those days and I never wanna see them again....

    yes i remember waiting 3 months for an answer, and getting a little bit , well thats more than 2 yrs ago,, and look today

    last saturday my stepson arrived in the uk, and his visa expires same times as his moms and sisters in march of next year ! ,even thou hes just arrived and his mom and sis have been here for 21 months, well thats another £400 i have to find for the indef leave to remain,,

    also he got a visa, with me having little savings in the bank , just around £1500, hes staying at my moms house, and hes nearly 18yrs old, well i was surprised a bit but he got it,. well maybe they actually read my letter of support, saying if he was here i would save near £400 a month !!!

    they interviewed him on his own, and would not let his aunt sit in, and the indian guy who worked at the embassy told him he got the visa, but let him go and called him back, becuase he forgot to ask him a couple of questions, one was are you going to travel alone? the guy told him, he forgot to ask !

    good luck to everyone else with the visa's !!

    Congratulations!!!

    Congratulations for all those been granted a visa with just a short notice. Maybe it has something to do w/ the climate change as well! My husband Iain & i are hoping that my daughter will be granted a visa soon. Cheers!
