We've finally sent it......!!!!
DHL courier has just collected our application - poor bloke quite clearly thought Other Half and I were abit potty as we were grinning inanely at him whilst we filled out the shipping bill and, as he left, I told him our lives (literally) were in his hands!
I know you'll all understand when I say we feel the most enormous sense of relief to finally have got the application finished and sent off, as well as the wonderful feeling that our dream is one step closer to becoming a reality.
So I know this is only the start, but it's taken us a long time to get here, so we're cracking open a bottle of bubbly tonight to celebrate - and we're also going to raise a toast to all our fellow forumers who have also lodged their apps this week, to Fabie, Badri and all the others who have had the best news of all this week, and to Nikki & Peter, Stubbs and Debilloyd, fellow 138ers who are slowly being driven mad in the twillight zone of waiting (may you hear soon, guys!) - may our dreams come true!
Have a good weekend all.

Good luck to you both, and hope your visa wings its way to you very quickly.
Sending you both karma.

The way visa applications are going, you will have the option of going way before Christmas, all being well. The process is only taking 3-4 months for most peeps at the moment.
