Daniel can teach concertina or banjo - fancy either one? :lol:

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Which is the quietest? :p

Your Daniel is very talented!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Haha, that would have to be the banjo :lol:

Ever so slowly, we creep towards - something. Love the last line, except I was hoping I'd been the 100 millionth applicant - might have got a set of steak knives. I'm hoping the courier comes tomorrow, because I'm taking Mum for a bone scan on Wednesday. This is one delivery I don't want to miss.

Must be standard practice Alex, today was the 9th day and nothing. Bit sad about it because I'd planned to take my Mum for a bone scan tomorrow, but now can't risk leaving the house.

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

"Your application for a UK visa has been successful"

Feel like crying with relief!

Bon voyage :)!!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Congratulations, now you are one of us. I remember when we all were at the beginning stages of our journeys! Bon voyage

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

congratulations SOS

When are you flying out?

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Thank you Sparkles, Sugarmooma, Shirtback, FB and Not2Old :thumbsup:

FB, isn't it the best feeling when you finally 'get there'. I hope I settle in as well as you have!

Not2Old, I fly out this Tuesday. Vet is picking up the furry friend and taking him to the airport at 2:30am tomorrow morning.

I was waiting, waiting, waiting for the courier all day. I had a receipt from the Visa Application Centre, which stated very clearly that I had to hand the receipt to the courier otherwise he/she wouldn't hand over the package.

In the end, it was the regular postie who brought it - he nonchalantly handed it over and said in his best Aussie accent "sign 'ere sweet'art". Not much fanfare there, then! :lol:

Aw, thanks mate! :drinkingpals: (you and I having late night chats when you and Daniel are doing yours)

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Congratulations Spouse :starsmile::thumbsup::starsmile: looking forward to saying :welcome: not long now!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

:rofl: Looking forward to it. Make sure to give us your flight details so we can stalk you all the way home :thumbsup:

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Yeah! Great news! Congratulations!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Thanks CurlyTops, Perth and Michali :starsmile:

I'll be there this time next week, can't believe it. Poor Murphy-dog wasn't very happy about going in his crate this morning, he took off down the road and I had to chase him! Middle of the night, pitch black, and I'm trying to round him up without waking the neighbours. The things we do :lol:

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

I will! A few prayers to any particular deity you happen to be a fan of, to keep the plane in the air, would be most welcome too (I won't have Scouse's hand to hold).

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Congrats on the visa. I did keep telling you that you would get it!:p

Don't worry about the plane as statistically they are safe. You have more chance of getting killed on the roads when you get here:lol:


"According to the Civil Aviation Authority, the fatality rate per billion kilometres travelled by plane is 0.003. That compares to 0.27 by rail, 2.57 by car, and 106.67 by motorbike. It adds that there is one fatality for every 287m passengers carried by UK airlines. By way of comparison, the chances of being struck by lightning are 19 million to 1, it claims."

"The simple act of going to bed is more perilous than flying. Indeed, 20 people perish each year in Britain, on average, falling from their mattress. "

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Would the flying spaghetti monster do? :lol:

Apparently soon before we took a flight to see DD, I had developed a sinus infection. On the descent, the pain was horrible, so I dug my nails into OH's arm to keep from screaming bloody murder. There's a nice bruise there now :o

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Can someone confirm, when you send the settlement visa application do you have to send 2 x copies of everything, including the application form etc?

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

I made 2 copies of everything, as well as the originals for things like passport, birth/death/divorce/marriage certificates etc.

I just made 3 packages. One marked 'original', which had everything including the application form, plus originals as mentioned above. Two others marked 'copy', which again had everything including the application form, but copies of passport, birth/death/divorce/marriage etc certificates.

It's a lot of photocopying!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

The flying spaghetti monster will do nicely, thank you :lol:

Poor you with that sinus infection. Glad you had a manly arm to disfigure :lol:

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Thanks Formula, yes you did keep telling me. Me of little faith.

I'm not really that worried about the flights, God knows I've done it enough. I just like something to grizzle about, keeps me on my toes :)

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Thanks. Do you know if it's a definite requirement though to provide copies?

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

The guidance notes to the online application said provide 2 copies. I didn't go into it any deeper than that - I wanted my application to be successful so I provided what I was asked to.

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Exactly what I did. They also sent back almost all the documents and photocopies plus photos and this is all safely stored now for next time. SOS, make sure when you get there some of the accounts are in joint names as is your bank details. My OH thinks I am paranoid but I am already thinking about my application in two years time!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Wise move, FB! You do actually have to start preparing for the next visa as soon as you arrive.....no peace for the wicked!

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
 

Checking in here.

Hope you are settling in, SOS.

Makes me smile to think of what you have to look forward to. Stay in tough. :)

Re: That's the spouse visa application finished
