Congratulations! I was in the process of getting my visa last year at this same time. We did the extra money to have it expedited and my turn around was 4 weeks. A few days later I had the visa and my suitcase was already packed. Upon arrival into the UK, when I got to immigration I just gave them my passport. I was asked the why? and was my fiancé there to meet me. Once I was at the desk, it was less than 30 seconds and I was going to the baggage claim area. Then through the door and my fiancé was waiting for me. We were married in December 2014. Best thing I ever did and still loving the UK. I still haven't had the homesickness everyone mentions (most say within about 6 months of being here). I Skype my family every week and stay connected through FB. I post everything I do in pictures as everyone back home loves it and will think you are living the high life. Sometimes you are, but then you get into a routine and will be popping into the post office and shops like everyone else. Grocery delivery service......do it. Don't be afraid to drive either. It is not that difficult. Enjoy the experience. Not everyone gets to do this or even understand the desire and difficulties involved just to be with the one you love. Welcome to the UK when you all get here!
