    We had an interesting e-mail today

    Ladybug had an e-mail earlier today, saying "Your visa will be despatched shortly etc. etc."

    I'm talking spouse visa, for those who don't know.

    It's been a long time coming for us, but we got there in the end.
    ...It's not in the hand, but it can't be anything else can it. (not putting a question mark there)

    We applied on July 14th & am aware a couple of others, applied around the same time...So just about 2 1/2 weeks. Good luck! to those waiting.

    We're very happy







    Arthur, I'm over here

    What is the source of the email? Does it have @fco.gov.uk in the address?

    If it does, then many congratulations are the order of the day

    Well done you both

    CONGRATULATIONS MATE



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Actually ... it was the plural, "we", that caught my eye first. Next, I noticed the thread had been started by you ... and I thought ... 'hmm, ...
    ... has Simon won the lottery?'
    But ... no ... ... the organisers would NEVER notify winners online . And then - horror of horrors - it even crossed my mind that maybe you'd been targetted for some scam or other (with this sort of ploy becoming increasingly rife these days).

    'Interesting email', indeed! It's bloody MARVELLOUS!

    guyki, all I can say is hang in there, not very helpful I know, but hopefully in a few days, you'll get the same email.

    Thanks all, much appreciated.
