PiLoT, my fiancé loved your review. He's now amused/nervous of meeting grumpy Asian lady. I just want to confirm, they do give you back the originals (the birth certificate) right? I've heard of them forgetting.. or people forgetting to ask for it back.

Yeah, I know so I had to needle you a little....all with love of course. Actually you have calmed down a LOT since your debut here in the UK forum. Now I am amused by your calmness and Kas assuming the Nervous Nelly role.

It's funny-he's usually the one telling me to stop over analyzing. Although I will tell you this, I won't be able to fall asleep until I know the answer for sure!
