Interview went really smoothly!
They didn't even ask to see any of my evidence (apart from the financial stuff)
I had everything they asked for and answered all their questions confidently and then the magic words were spoken

"Ok Joanne I see no problems here, I'm glad to tell you your visa has been approved, congratulations!"

You are spot on! They're all packed and ready to go apart from a few items of clothing that I'm still wearing, but they will only take a few seconds to pop in before I go.

I asked the Courier woman "what day exactly can I expect to receive my visa?" and she looked at me with a smile and said confidently "Friday!" so I'm guessing that's a definite right? I'm still not booking my flight until I have everything back. I'm planning on leaving on the 3rd so I can be there to celebrate independence day! What a way to make an entry back home laughing.gif

Wonderful to see that everything went smoothly!

Thank you! I couldn't have wished for a better interview! luv.gif

Well.. I'd take her with a pinch of salt. She'll have booked it for Friday, but couriers are humans and make mistakes / get lost / fail to deliver, so give yourself a couple more days just to be clear. :)

Getting there for the independence day will be great! Lots of parties and fireworks you can hijack to celebrate. :)

Lets hope the delivery goes as smoothly as my interview did!

And of course, I intend on stealing all the celebrations for myself laughing.gif

It will be a celebration of my independence from the UK as well as America's biggrin.png

Adam says he's gunna figure out where the best spot is to see all the fireworks and we'll go there to celebrate together wub.png
