I think you might have had the same lady as me for the first one too - window 13? She spend so long faffing with my photos as they were in a ziplock bag and her nails were too long - she ended up cutting them open instead! She complained that I wasn't doing K1 and said I should worry about my overstay as it's a 'dark cloud' over my interview (before adding that she didn't know anything about the law of overstays). She seemed jolly though, and her complaining had lightheartedness to it, where as window 16 was so negative with me that it's still not dawned on me fully that I've got my visa!

Ready for my grand ol' timeline? Alrighty then!

When you flying? Momondo is pretty special for finding cheap flights, expecially good if you're flexible. And book a return even if you're going one way.

I've found a BA flight for £700 including three checked bags, which is perfect, especially as I'm flying before Xmas too.
