The first step -done

[Arthur Little]

Congratulations and very well done to your good lady; your "one step at a time" philosophy has set the 'happy tone' for the next stage ... and already, I'm confident of your continued success with her spousal visa application. All the best to you both - you thoroughly deserve it!

Thanks all.
Sorry for the late reply - the celebration was short lived because as it turns out she didnt get enough marks and is now taking the test again.
The guy at hopkins told her it was a good enough mark for an A1 Visa but when she went to the consultant they said it wasnt and cross checked with someone at Hopkins again - missed by 10 points....

So She is retaking and I've paid for some tuition for her and arranging the attendance of a workshop so she gets a good idea how to tackle the questions.

So frustrating but it is what it is.

Meanwhile got lots of quotes for wedding arrangements but as yet the date is the difficult one to really arrange as there are so many things to consider.. ho hum.

Cheers
Tone

. I know precious little about this new fangled English Language testing, Tone - and even less in terms of how the level(s) of attainment are classified. And as for its necessity ... well ... in MY view ... for the very reason that English is the 'medium of instruction' throughout the Philippines' Education System!
