Hi everyone,

One message to say my husband's visa was approved and issued today! biggrin.png

Thank you for all the people here who have been able to help. A bit over 3 months ago, I had no idea where to start and now his visa has been printed and we are waiting for his passport! Very grateful to have found this site!

Huge special thanks to Lost_At_Sea for being so helpful and nice! A major thanks to Nich-Nick for your major help and for calming my nerves, and TomandCatie for our great conversations! Couldn't have done it without you three!heart.gif

I will continue to help as much as I can and pay it forward from now on! I am no expert but I made it and would be happy to help anyone who has questions!

Thank you again,

Deborah & Kevin
