Hey that's my daughter's birthday, Congratulations :dance::dance:

Thanks everyone.

Timsdaisy:

The first two weeks of April was the only time my fiancee could have all her children fly to the Usa for the wedding. So we booked everything, some with refundable deposits. We then included a letter with Pkt 3, including confirmatory reservation letters attached. All very risky, but they must have took pity on us. And yes as you can see by our timeline we showed the Embassy we were doing our part by getting everything in our power ready.

Thanks to VJ, for a lot of reading done, and questions answered.
