just most recent unless self employed then last 3 years.

I've no idea what we are going to do!! Will probably show that he was a dependant on his parents return until 2 years ago then has never filed as never made enough. Hopefully that will be enough for them. You have no idea how much this issue stresses me out!

oh and finally got confirmation that deposit has secured the church for my wedding on Saturday 3rd May.

Welp Happy Sept 1 2007 everyone! My case is still pending. I was notified by mail that they received my change of address for both visas. I predict this month my case would still be pending and come Oct. as we all hope we'll get possible approvals! Here's hoping!

I'll be watching my daily digest reports for visa approvals.

Seems so long since we all filed. We're moving along now. We're all in our second month now!

I know! I hope things go quickly - I *really really* want to get my visa before the wedding...

Can you believe there'll be a 'September filers' thread soon? We're pretty much veterans at this game now.

I did have a quick look at the August filer thread and had a bit of an "awww" moment - kinda like you get when you are in your last year of school looking at all the kids just starting

I was thinking the same thing. but those poor filers had to pay alot more money. We are a large class. I dont think August and September will have as many filers.

we also seem to be the most active bunch. the feb, march, april, may and june threads arnt as active as this one or as many pages.

Very true! We have a much higher activity level than other months in 2007. Per day, that is. Not overall. Probably because of the supposed flood of filers in July.

Ok - not the best place for it perhaps but I trust you guys so thought I would unleash my dilemma here!

Invited best friend to wedding (have known each other 21 years). She is chief bridesmaid along with my other best friend of 18 years. They don't get on. Only other people invited (on my side) are close family and respective partners (trying to make this brief!).

Best friend's partner can't come but I wanted to avoid the +1 issue by leaving the invitation open to him in case he was able to make it. Best friend calls me and wants to invite her mate. I said I'd have to think about it (I don't really want her there - nothing personal, just doesn't fit with the close family/partner guest list). Best friend throws a hissy fit saying she doesn't see why she can't bring her friend if she was going to bring her boyfriend anyway.

I wouldn't mind if she had approached me in a different way and we could have compromised but I feel like it has been dumped on me and now I am in a really awkward position which I am angry about. I don't want to upset my friend but at the same time I want my guest list to be on my terms not hers.

To make it worse, she is using excuses like needing "emotional support", "not knowing anyone", "it's a long flight", she "doesn't know how she will get from the airport to the wedding" and she "doesn't know the area". All valid reasons for being a bit apprehensive about the trip perhaps except for the fact she has travelled around Asia for three months on her own and through Central America with her partner. She's been on long flights alone, made her way through countries where people don't even speak her language and I have *never* known her to turn down an excuse for meeting new people as she is a very bubbly friendly person...

Have aliens taken over my best friend's body? Am I being unreasonable? Or is she out of order? I feel sick at the thought of losing her as a friend but at the same time I don't want to have my wedding on her terms...
