UK VJers Progress Update Thread

Thanks, dude How's it going?

It's in English.

We are doing swimmingly well. Everything was great at the medical... Just waiting for that interview letter now! Is there an "impatient" route to go down in order to get the date before a paper copy comes through the pipeline?

The distance is starting to really grate my emotions. It's been a kind of turbulent return to reality after our brief trip to New York late last month.

I think Pheebs emailed the embassy to get her interview date. She chose the option "i want to rearrange my interview" because apparently they look at those emails sooner! But in general they do get back to you within a few days.

Aww, I know how that feels. When he left from our Christmas/New Year together I was a bit glum for a week! Just bummed around my house doing nothing feeling sorry for myself! This will be the longest we've been apart, 9 months in total not living in the same country. Can't wait to move there next month and be done with this stupid distance thing for GOOD!

We are aiming for an August date for POE, might be sooner. Just a matter of him wrapping up things in London. I go to visit him in May for his birthday for 10 days, so hopefully that will help. I'm just getting sad from the Skype dates and the phone calls. I want cuddles and hugs and kisses.

Anyway, enough whining. I think this is helping build a solid foundation for our future. All this work will pay out into something amazing.

That's really sweet you guys are making such a big effort to fill in the time you're away from each other. You're right, I think distance can reveal the strength of a relationship. Since this is our second round of long distance it hasn't been so bad, but I remember the first round being tough! You can do it

I know how you feel about getting up soo early, I woke at 3:30am this morning to get ready to go and to get public transport into London, I got to the Embassy by 7am.

My interview went great today! our visa has been approved!! Then she said it will take up to 2 weeks to get my documents and passport with visa!! I am so excited to be moving to America this month!

I saw in the park next the Embassy in London there is a statue of Franklin Delano Roosevelt lol

Yaaay, congratulations!! Oh wow, 3:30am is the middle of the night!! Dunno how you coped I will be getting up at about 5am and that's bad enough for me...

I'm so happy you had a great interview. What time were you out of the embassy? I have a train booked for the way back for 13:30 since it was cheap so hoping I gave myself enough time.

[chrismorrison 96]

Our CEAC status updated again today, I imagine that is in response to our medical results being received? Perhaps packet 4 has also been plopped in the mail? We can hope!

I don't mean it made me laugh, I mean I liked seeing it.

It's great! I've had a couple of "I feel overwhelmed by this move" moments but I think that's more the jet lag and hectic weekend than anything deeply rooted. It all happened in such a rush in the end it took me by surprise. Good luck for thursday!!!! I'll be thinking of you
