What's this about expedited delivery??? :wow:

Could be something that could save us a lot of trouble...

You can pay extra to have your visa delivered before a certain time of the day. It's not possible to have it delivered on an earlier date, just a certain time on the day they are going to deliver it anyway.

Gillian

Exactly. Except it didn't work too well in this case. :angry:

Take some time to read through all the posts here by all the people who were freaking out, convinced as you are that somehow *they* would be the one denied. They all had subsequent posts about how easy it was and wished they hadn't stressed over the interview so much!

Just ask Jeraly and weedebz! :lol:

LOL. I've read this thread from beginning to end. It took a while but I did it.

It's one of the questions on Jeralys 'list' that bugs me I guess........"why do you love him?" I mean how do you quantify that? I could list reasons all day long, but I couldn't pin it down to one thing. I love him just because I do. Because he's the perfect one for me. *corny moment* the yin to my yang....
