Re: Our first Canniversary!
Hi there
It was so reassuring to hear that it can work out when a child decides not to immigrate.
My son is sure he will not be joining us and has just began his first year at Uni as a mature student at 23 ... very worried about leaving him - but as you said they can decide what they want for their life
He has a visa and it will be valid for some time if he changes his mind. Fingers crossed he will visit often.
Thank you again and congratulations on your 1st year

Re: Our first Canniversary!
Yeah I think once they have started at a UK Uni it is best that they finish there. Our daughter is 21 and I think it actually helped that she was at university and living away from home before we left, it was still a wrench and I miss her dreadfully but she has already visited twice and is coming again at Christmas. I suppose as long as we pay the ticket she will come as often as we are prepared to pay. Next year she needs to find a job and I guess the OH will stop the funding - we will wait to see what happens then re visits.
