Morning/afternoon all!! Sorry I couldn't get to the forums till now. Didn't have laptop up at home and don't get to work till 9am and then got bombarded with things when i got here.. :whistle:

Well Kris called me about 5:45am my time and did tell me we've been APPROVED! I still can't believe it. I'll give more details when I get them from him. I didn't want to keep him on the line since he doesn't really have the minutes to spend for his cell on overseas calls LOL. But if all goes well and he gets his visa by Friday (which 'should' happen) then he will be here next week!! :dance:

ok calming down and will attempt to work today.

Congratulations!!! I remember the post-interview haze after Darren called...

Ok question.. the envelope they hand you with the X-rays.. what if it is unsealed when they hand it to you? Kris just told me this and now i'm afraid this the the one that isn't to be messed with!

It doesn't matter with the x-ray envelope. The chinese woman that took my papers at the embassy, got the x-ray envelope out and opened it herself. Its the other envelope that comes with the visa that's not to be opened. I get mine tomorrow, I'll be scared how I open the package! :bonk:

"One of the first things that came to my mind was, 'Good thing we brought a second javelin,'" Miles' coach, Richard Vance, said Monday.

don't worry - you won't be confused: my MBE was pretty explict about the fact that it was not to be opened.post-36648-1211307485_thumb.jpg
