Hi Iain,

Thanks for the tip. I did not realize such a strict rule.

Over the weekend, a number of concerned friends have asked me to contact the embassy regarding my wife's application.

I'm planning to fax a letter to the embassy tomorrow to request to speed up her application on the basis that she is pregnant and being away from the husband especially for the first child, puts additional emotional strain in the relationship. Although she is in good hands (her parents), she still gets stressed, which is like an emotional roller-coaster. I really don't understand pregnant woman.

What do you think?

Regards,
Ben B
