Its funny now, but looking back, during that short 3 weeks we waited for the final decision of Elsas settlement visa, I was never in doubt of the outcome. I know it sounds arrogant, it was because I had worked so hard on the application and we both covered every possible avenue. As I said before, it was because of Elsas passport going missing that caused the delay, but at the end of the day, the evidence was stacked up miles high in our favour, and I know Gina will get hers no problem. Like George Michael said - You Gotta have faith!

Pete,

Dont forget:

Email printouts (not all of them, but maybe 20 or 30 in some kind of date order)
Website printouts
Have an extra colour photo as I think its 2, but it may have changed.
Photocopy all the important documents in case they are required.

If I think of anything else, I'll post back.
