To everyone that received an text message advising that the passport/visa would be delivered the following day - Most advise that the text message came in the evening.

Could you please advise me the approximate time - I know it's a strange question sorry!!!!

:( Still no visa? Really I am feeling for you here, the two weeks we waited so stressed me out I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Take reassurance from me, once you do get it and are together all of the petty b-sh*t you are going through now will soon be forgotten.

Thanks

The thing that is stressing me out most of all is the fact that they tell you it will be sorted out in one week, then when you question it they get s**tty with you stating that you have to be patient!!

I would be patient but if you say one week then after 3 weeks you are entitled to be a little concerned

Secondly, I'm really concerned that I will be waiting as long as some people are in AOS months to a year or more, I would really hate to be parted for that long. I would be fine if we were together and waiting.

It's all too depressing

Nothing I can say will make you feel better, but I do understand. Not sure what Londons problem is lately. Have you guys rang the dept of state yet?

Sending you virtual hugs however useless they might be.
