This is so awesome! I wish I can feel how you feel in a few months :) now, time to pack!!!

“The fact that we are here and that I speak these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some
of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence.
And there are so many silences to be broken.”

Had my interview today at the London Embassy, and I am so happy to say I was approved. I feel in shock really, as it only seems like yesterday that I was looking at an empty timeline feeling like I had a huge mountain to climb. This forum has been such a big comfort for me through the whole process, so thanks to everyone.

For those starting the journey, my biggest advice would be to keep busy and don't dwell on things too much (which I know is hard). Both my wife and myself realised we couldn't speed things up by obsessing over the process, so we did what we had to do, and then got on with life until the next stage cropped up. The second bit of advice is....be positive!! Good luck to everyone, and thanks again!

CONGRATULATIONS;-)

So was your case was reffirmed back to the embassy? if so did you have to pay a new visa fee? my wife will be going for her interview next week so im still sure if she has to pay a new visa fee.

Thanks!!!
