Hi everyone.

You may not realise but there is a good chat topic right HERE about the spouse visa issues , probs and waits.

So if you are cheesed off, concerned, anxious or just plain fed up with waiting pop on over there and have a chat about that. Click on the bold type will take you there.

This thread is Timeline Only for those that just wish to scroll over timelines so talking in the chat topic linked above will save seeing your chat posts removed.

thanks
