Re: Sluggish priority service? 🐌

Oh, just read your message again and see that you said they replied today! I'm really surprised as I had assumed they would not be in the office today. That service is separate from the office in...

Re: Sluggish priority service? 🐌

That's what they said to my husband's query, too, a little while back. Bleh.

Yeah, bank holiday today and then again on Monday, so obviously nothing will be done again until Tuesday.

Tuesday...

Re: Sluggish priority service? 🐌

I'm afraid not. Ugh. Frustrating that there is a four-day weekend coming up in the UK now. 😑 Looking on the bright side, if we don't hear anything today, we will have a break from being on pins and...

Hope your transition is smooth, especially with pooch in tow, and that your hubby enjoys Scotland! We are prepared for some reverse culture shock. 😄

Hurrah! You must be kicking into high gear now, booking flights, etc. Where are you headed? Our destination is Exeter, where we lived before moving to the States and where my husband grew up. Good...

Yes, it's good to compare notes and know you're not alone, even if we do each have a unique situation. Thanks for your good wishes. I'll try to remember to post an update. Fingers crossed for you!

I echo my husband's thanks, skarma! That is reassuring. Hope it isn't long now. Congratulations on getting the visa (just assuming you got a positive result)!

Yes, true.

I was expecting someone to say that we shouldn't compare ourselves to applicants applying from elsewhere. Meant to say that we checked the wait times for applicants from Canada and saw...

Thank you for chiming in with ideas and good wishes. Yes, we did both of those things. Just feeling very unsettled and surprised about the wait.

Oh, and I meant to say hear me out, not bear me...

Hello, all.

Okay, before you start hurling tomatoes at me, please bear me out!

Re: Shipping down duvet and pillows

Good to know vacuum packing can be done without adverse effect!

Good idea re silica gel! My husband is already planning to buy some. I'm sure it will help.

We are doing our best to pack...

Shipping down duvet and pillows

Wanting to do this! Seems like these items aren't restricted. That's good. However, I'm worried about excessive compression for the roughly six weeks they'd be packed, as we wouldn't have room to...

Re: Will my US baking trays fit in a UK cooker?

I've been using a cast iron kettle for years now. Got it in Japan. My husband isn't keen, though!

As a child, I always loved the sound of my grandmother's whistling kettle. To each his/her own, I...

Oh, wow, you really can't make this stuff up. 😆 Really, though, your self-reliance is impressive. How clever. Comforting to know a good cuppa is only moments away.

Re: Will my US baking trays fit in a UK cooker?

So true. I was amazed at the electric kettle when I first went to England as a student. Liked them so much I bought one at a department store upon returning to the States. It was slow in comparison,...

Re: Will my US baking trays fit in a UK cooker?

That's a shame! Funny how some cookware catches on in some places, but not others. For example, I never did see a bacon press in the UK. Maybe because back bacon is more popular there and less likely...

Relationship history needed for application?

Hello,

Silly question? Maybe. But I want to check to feel more confident!

My husband (UKC) and I (USC) got married in 2012 in the UK. We moved to the States in 2013 and plan to move back to the...
