hehe, after reading pete's website, i budgeted on about 6 months waiting time, then i talked to many who got their visas a LOT sooner ... like arom's wife - 7 weeks, Louella and Iain- 5 weeks, and Wynna - 8 days ... but i plan to be there for about 3 months - if i can - whilst ladystarfish and i get married so i hope by that time the visa department will have been convinced that she deserves a visa and we can share a plane home to our new life

but
i am flexible

coz i know, no matter what, mar and i will spend forever together and that's what matters
