Well guys, 'cause I can't travel until my degree's done, I sadly have to delay until May :crying: but! time will probably fly, and I'll be sending off the forms to them over the next few weeks.

Eeeeee! Thanks for the support.

Magpie.

Ooh. Well, let me think...it took maybe about two weeks to get the P3 after Knight received the approval letter. I was checking daily =P.

That sucks about having to delay that long. I'm going to have to wait about a month I think after getting my visa in hand before travelling to the US and I think that's going to be hard but to delay upto 6 months that's going to be rough. Make sure to travel as much as you can! In the long term I guess the benefits of having the degree and securing a better job far outweighs the benefits of leaving sooner. Good luck to both of you

Since you can't go until May, I would delay returning the Packet 3 forms more than just a few weeks. You only have six months to travel after you get the visa. So I would think waiting until the start of the New Year would be good actually. Once you've returned the forms, it can be two months or less before you have the visa. :)

=D Thanks all for the advice. I'm going to send it in dribs and drabs, and hopefully stall things until the New Year.
