She just got this SMS (at 10pm Dubai time last night): Processed visa application ref no.DUB/blah/blah is ready for collection at UK Visa Application Centre

Now we have to wait until 4pm Thurs Dubai time when she can collect it. Its 6am Thursday here in Japan, and I'm on a flight at 10pm. +5 hours means I'll find out what she sees just before boarding. It's going to be a looonng day!
