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!
