hi kaffy

well i would read it as .. the person who is sticking your visa's in your passport hasnt done yours yet ...dont forget it can take up to 5 to 8 days to get it mate...if you go back into the archives or this thread some had to wait that long mate...

so dont worry too much shame ya couldnt of stayed a day extra to pick it up mate...would of helped with the stress levels...

take care

Kaffy, Yeah it's like people that work at these places are slightly psychopathic with no empathy for others.

Did you try posting on the main board to see if any others have had this experience? S'pose you did.

There is those phone numbers I posted for Kath for the embassies, but they cost ya a bit.

They sure know how to stress people, just when you felt home free.

I'm sure it is just a canned response, as you say, and everything will be fine,

Stella.

Hey guys, I really hope what you are saying is what is happening. I feel like I am back in that damn 'limbo' again. I mean really, they could of just said we are a lazy bunches of a$$holes and it is taking time for us to get around to putting it in the envelope, that would be something I would of rathered read. Not that it is awaiting approval... :crying:

Mike has been great, trying to keep my spirits up and you are all probably right, but as well as being an organisation freak, I also stress a lot and this has zoomed my levels to all new highs. :blink: It's like when you have lived with pain for ages, then it's gone for a while and suddenly it comes back, it's harder to cope with.

So back in the land of limbo again, for the time being, not knowing if I should take the risk and pay the rest on the airline tickets and keep selling my stuff or hold off and try to be superwoman and get it all done in a couple of weeks. :unsure:

And after having said all that, the damn things will prolly arrive tomorrow. ;)

hey everyone!

wow, looks like there's been some good news everywhere, good stuff!

but got some unexpected good news yesterday, aos interview date for june, wasn't expecting that for awhile...

take care everyone... and thanks for the birthday wishes matt!

Jodie.

"So they met on Tuesday at the town hall steps

To get an eight by ten photo and a wedding date set

We might as well do it next week

'cause we've met everybody that we're ever gonna meet

He's dad is a nut, he's ex-girl is a #######

But he'll be yours forever if you just get it together.

If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together

Is it ever gonna be just you and me?"
