YAY!!! OMG!! You'll be going in the day after me!! How exciting!! And such a pity it's not the same day - we could have kept each other company!!! Ah well - we can be nervous together on Tuesday then!!!!

[Robyn-n-Kris 72]

awesome on the interview date. We're still waiting. The lady I talked to on Friday said she wouldn't be surprised if one was assigned by end of next week. Fingers are crossed but ugh... trying to be patient.

[Jeraly 4]

Sometimes I wish things had all happened quickly for me as well - I wonder if I wouldn't worry so much about moving - by the time I move it will have been almost a year and while I was fired up at the beginning (bad experiences on uni placements, fed up with being in the UK in general) now I am more complacent... well... not quite but I am more concerned about missing my family...

Part of me thinks it is just needing to cut the apron strings as it were though

Robyn - I am sure you will hear soon Just think - it won't be much longer now either way you look at it - maybe a month tops which is a walk in the park!! Haha - I remember Jeremy leaving after being here for Christmas and I was so not bothered because it was only six weeks until I saw him again!! And then after that - well, four months until we never have to be apart... and it seriously seems like a breeze! I mean - I have... maybe 2 months and three weeks until we see each other again and I have been home a month already... it will sure come around fast

Sad Eyes reported in a few weeks ago, saying they'd made no progress. Hopefully soon!

It doesn't seem to be a common occurence though. Isn't it all to do with fingerprint checking or something? (or am I being dumb)

I thinks its much more related to the fact that her fiance is Pakistani.

And you're right, AP is not very common in the London Embassy.

Ahh that makes more sense. I didn't know that. I'm not saying it's fair, but I can understand a little better now.

YES im still here and on AP. i give dos a call once a week and i get the same old generic answer....he requires special security cleareance...they wont answer ne questions on y...but like juelz said it is probably b.c he's pakistani and i say he fits "the profile." i have a trip planned for apr 22 and i sure would like for everything to be over so he could fly back with me and our son...so let us all pray it will be over soon so i dont go crazy

[Jeraly 4]

Hey! Glad to see you're still floating around though - it must be really hard and I admire you for being so strong Let's hope it will come to a quick and wonderful result

I am getting the feeling his interview will either be end of april very first of may which will fall just fine. We've already decided the earliest he can fly will be June 5th anyway so this will give us enough time to wrap things up. Just hate that the last we saw each other was in december (while i was still finishing up my divorce) so until he moves we've never really been able to 'be' a couple per say.. not openly though..... but i'm counting down the days.. if all goes well 2mths 11hrs.

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - yeah - Jeremy and I were lucky enough to spend five months together in 2006 so we could get a feel for living together - it was tough but it at least allowed us to realise that we wanted to make a real go of things

Hmm December - yeah almost four months isn't good but at least you know the next time you see each other you won't have to be apart again I'm going to be seeing Jeremy at the end of June

we've both lived alone at various times but right now both Dave and I are in rather sub-optimal share house arrangements... while it's more than a bit annoying a lot of the time, I think it's actually going to be beneficial in the end, because we're going to be SO glad to have a different set-up, we'll REALLY value it

Just got home this evening from my trip to London and Devon...what a glorious trip. I met Darren's parentsand most of his extended family; they are such lovely people!!! I miss him terribly, but I'm happy that the family seem to have accepted me as a future daughter-in-law. And needless to say, my family absolutely adores Darren...

[Toshtishtash 1]

Congrats on getting your interview dates Jeraly and Poiteen!! (Just caught up with the thread!)

[Jeraly 4]

Noticed you've been MIA!! Taking a break or...?

[Toshtishtash 1]

No, I have just been busy at work. I only have 2 weeks left of work so I am trying to get everything sorted before I leave...

I was extremely tempted to triple book a coach for next July and throw away all the paperwork.. That would be mean though, right?

Have you quit stressing yet about the interview?

[Jeraly 4]

Hahah!!

Well I have everything all organised now so I feel a bit happier... but I am more nervous today than I was yesterday. I start a new contract tomorrow as well so will be working in a different place so I am nervous about that as well!! Nothing like everything happening at once! I will just be so glad when it is all over!!
