What does it mean?

[Arthur Little]

I'm not making any arrangement with my flight yet.

Very wise!

Just worried coz I wrote on the travel date in the form is Dec. 20 and they just start working on my application today. Hope they won't say that I should apply 2 months before my application.

Well ... in OUR case, we'd put February 19, 2009 - i.e., the date I'd been due to fly home. But, in the event, my wife's documents - including her passport, with the visa affixed - weren't returned until the 23rd.
