Husband's Interview Coming Up....

[breezy 0]

I can remember the day I was led to VJ, (the biggest thanks, you know who you are!) at first I was so scared and confused, I didn’t know where to start, had so many worries. I started to build a folder full of answers I found, things I wasn’t sure about, suggestions, forms, instructions, and experiences. Quickly that folder overflowed and was turned into an organized binder, My Visa Bible.

Well, the time has come (almost). My husband’s Medical Exam and Interview will be held in Naples, Italy on the 7th, 8th of May. I’ve been over and over and over everything I have, it looks like its complete, (I can hardly believe it) but sometimes a clear mind can spot something I haven’t.

If you’ve got a clear mind (hard to come by on this site) and the patience, (overkill here) could you have a look? Any suggestions welcome!
