Hoping all those touches come back soon in an approval!!!

No news on my visa arrival yet. After tomorrow (which isn't likely since I haven't received a text message) the next delivery day will be next Tuesday which means that J and I will miss out on the trip we planned. Ah well, not the end of the world. Just another rearrangement of plans on the cards.

Is the embassy closed for good friday andmonday? I dont' believe it's a federal official holiday here.

Is hen night similar to bachelorette party?

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

The embassy close for all british holidays, and US ones. Nice for them

I got my fingers crossed for you babblesgirl, you never know, they might have just forgotten to text you.

[Jeraly 4]

Yes Hen night is the same as bachelorette party

Also have posted new topic on the HPV/Police cert thing if anyone is interested

Babbles - You should call them if it hasn't arrived!! That must be sooo frustrating if you're ready to go - Mine isn't going to matter too much because I am not moving for AGES

It came!! The courier was totally bemused by my lack of excitement. It just looked like a Next Directory delivery or somepin and I had talked myself out of it arriving before next Tuesday!

Conversation went like this:

Doorbell rings. I wake up from my dream that my visa is on its way to Stevenage (I live near Leeds) Run downstairs and open door.

Man hands over Next Directory looking package and asks me to print name and sign.

Him: 'Were you expecting this to arrive?'

Me: 'Ugh...don't know' *still half asleep*

Him: 'It said delivery before 10am'

Me: confusion starts to wither away 'Oh is it my visa!?'

Him: 'Yep, weren't you expecting it?'

Me: 'Well yes, but I didn't get a text message'

Him: 'So you weren't expecting it then?' *teasing*

Me: 'Well yes, but I thought with easter it wouldn't come till Tuesday'

Him: 'So, you WEREN'T expecting it then?' *teasing more*

Me: 'Well no' grins and thanks courier profusely

Runs upstairs and tickles mum 'I got my visa!!!'

Ok, now to book a flight

It worked. Thanks for your good vibes everyone

I think working at the embassy has to be one of the best jobs ever. All those holidays and getting to give the majority of people good news. It has to be a nice way of life.

Hooray for babblesgirl!!!! I am sooo happy for you! Now book that flight!

Incidentally, Griff didn't gert a text notifying him of the visa delivery either. Maybe it has something to do with the close medical/interview?

[Robyn-n-Kris 72]

Who knows? I just want my interview date now so I can get it all over and done with - I am so nervous about it all even though I don't need to be!

Poor you, Julez! Hope you get better soon.

And Julez and Babbles -- Bruce didn't get a text either, even though his medical was a month before the interview. I think it's just one of those things... but as long as you have a happy ending, who cares??? Yay for visas arriving, texts or no!

Sorry to hear you've been sick Julez, hope you're feeling much better now.

I really was banking on that text message and so glad now that I paid the extra for a 'before whatever' delivery, otherwise you'll end up being stuck in all day not really sure whether its coming or not. I would really recommend paying just a little bit more for a delivery time.

Anyway, thanks everyone for your messages (just taking a tip there from Crikey's thread ). But yes, thank you everyone, you are all truly wonderful!

I'm travelling on Saturday!! YAY!! I'm so flipping excited!

[bakofoil 27]

Best of luck to KJC for today!!

I can't believe there are no more interviews until the 1st April.
