:) thanks for your support it means a lot to us :yes:

It is just the passport that is causing all of these issues...if only the passport came, it would be a green light for everything else. Passport means interview on time, means we can plan everything else...see if we have to wait on AP/AR...all of that stuff. It is extremely distressing and frustrating...but we have Mon, Tues, Wed to await the passport...and then we need to reschedule the interview...hoping it gets in on time before that date! :wacko:

Thanks once again for the kind words everyone. It's funny but we are not as worried about the interview anymore...I guess the passport situation drained us all of the stress that was possible to form within us :)

Thanks DisneyLovers!!!

But we can't concentrate until the passport is actually in my dear fiance's hand! :(

It seemed too good to be true when my fiance got the call from the Home Office regarding the approval of his student visa extension. And the IO told him on the phone "you should get your passport at home within 1-2 days". And the next day after the phone call, my fiance called the Home Office to confirm that they dispatched his passport, but the customer service rep on the phone told him that his application is still reading as "under consideration" on their system...which has freaked us both out and brought back the nerves...although the lady said something to the affect that their is a chance that maybe the IO did not update the status...we are just hoping that the IO is not delaying dispatching the passport...it is really cutting it close to the interview date...we still have today, Friday, Saturday, and Monday to await the passport. Boy, will we be RELIEVED once he actually has it in his hands!!!

Really wishing it turns up today!

Update! :star:

My dear fiance got his biometric ID card (the residency permit) today in the mail...but no passport yet!

The regular method is first the passport and documents are dispatched and then the biometric ID card follows within 7 days...but he got he biometric ID card first!

WE ARE REALLY REALLY PRAYING HARD that the passport comes in tomorrow!!!
