I did mention last week about some contrasting answer between mails and ohone convo from the Visa section, on another unrelated post.
I did send them a mail asking about the different answers given............. and guess what????
Dear Sir/Madam
While chatting to my wife this past friday morning (GMT), I decided to phone the Embassy in Manila, it was done on the spur of the moment in the hope that I could give my wife some good news about our application.
I was told that they were still carrying out "local checks".
I am really sorry to bother you, but this answer seems to contrast with your last mail, and I am writing in search of some reassurances.
We are both growing increasingly worried and anxious about it.
I was hoping for my wife to join me here, in the Uk, during the summer months, so that she could have anbiented herself gradually to the weather.
if you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Yours faithfully
Wake up today, Bank Holiday Monday, and logging on MSN, I find this mail....
Dear Mr. xxxxx
Thank you for writing to us.
The information that we gave from our email of 20 Aug. 2007 was definitely correct. To date, the Officer has decided to issue the visa of your wife.
Yours sincerely,
After nearly 7 weeks of waiting, we finally have got confirmation that the Family Permit will be issued.
It feels real great, the weight is off the shoulders, relaxed at last, I am going to get a big off cigar, sit with a double espresso and a Brandy and smoke it.
The worries, the anxiety, the waiting, all gone....
Happiness reigns supreme.
Couple of weeks and Jet will be here.
And the living room still needs re-decorating..... Better get on with it....
