Re: VISAs and future changes
Right, this has nothing to do with the horribly botched ban for certain countries. Two other draft EAs have been leaked; one about skilled visas and one about deporting people who are immigrants and use welfare.
It's interesting that someone is leaking these EAs (previous leaks have proved accurate). Either that's a deliberate policy on the part of the Trump administration, or there's a "mole" in there.

Re: VISAs and future changes
Hey, well we're naturally very pleased and relieved about the outcome.
As for the process, yes it's not so exciting after all the anxiety. They should award a little trophy or something hehe.
Their computer system was down that day so they actually handled it all pretty well.
So, now things are looking increasingly real, we've got to wrap up our UK stuff, sharpish!
Let the adventure begin
Also, at least now having done this once I won't be so afraid of it for the future.

Re: VISAs and future changes
Thanks. We're starting out in New York. Never thought we would end up there but it's a fun place and the good thing for us is it's a short hop over the sea, the flight back home for visits at 6-6.5 hours will be great for us as we pop back and forth
As opposed to the West coast, which I like but is that bit further away from friends, family and things we enjoy in Europe!
Exciting times ahead!

Re: VISAs and future changes
I remember going home from London with my wife going through the list of what we had to do in a short time before getting on the plane. At that point, i was sure it had all been a mistake!!!
