Hello everyone!

[markp]

Hi

My name is Mark and I live near Oxford.
My fiancée Brenda introduced me to this forum sometime ago when we were preparing her application for a visa to join me in the UK.
The posts and advice here certainly gave us hope whenever we had doubts about the success of her application.

She submitted her application in on 7th December and this morning, as I was chatting to her online, HER VISA ARRIVED! (14 days and no personal interview!)
The best Christmas present ever for both of us!

Funnily, the first thing Brenda told me today when I logged onto Yahoo Messenger was that she had a dream last night where she received her visa, and was jumping for joy. Also, I'd fallen asleep on the sofa last night, but woke up again to log on at 3:00am, literally minutes before her visa arrived.
Spooky or what!

We're still pinching ourselves that it's actually true, and not just a dream.

I know Brenda would have liked to have shared this news with the members here herself, but unfortunately someone has seen fit to ban her from posting messages.

I would like to ask that person to reconsider that decision. Brenda would like nothing more now than to share her experience with other members and to offer her help, advice, and confidence boosting support to anyone else about to embark on this adventure.

From reading Brenda's many posts here (under the pseudonym Bridget), and the supportive replies of other members, I think Brenda has a lot to offer this forum. Her intentions are entirely honourable, and she only wants to help others.

A very warm welcome on the site.

14 days for a visa, this is extremely quick, they must have wanted the Christmas break real bad.....

Congratulations.

Than you for your kind welcome.

From submission of the application to the visa being issued was 11 days exactly!

I thought we'd put together a pretty impressive package to support the application, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be issued so quickly.

I know Brenda went to a lot of effort organising the documents, pictures, etc. into a nice presentation, and I'd produced all my supporting documents in a neatly indexed way.

I suppose first impressions really do count, and that a carefully constructed application makes the entry clearance officer's work so much easier.

Some muppets never give up, the prat posted the same message around the forum, and I spent 5 minutes deleting them. NO CHANCE OF GETTING BACK IN NOW.

And if they come back I'll register the emails on ALL the spam sites, and report them to the ISP.

Anyone would think we have no morals or rules on here.

...Oh....and...Happy Christmas
