My Spouse Visa has been APPROVED!
« on: October 03, 2008, 03:54:13 PM »
First of all thank you to everyone that answered my posts on here. I really would have messed this up without you all. Just reading everyone's experiences made this a whole lot easier.

-I applied online on 24 September.
-Had my Biometrics done on 1 October at 10am.
-Hand delivered my application to Expert Visa Services in Chicago on 1 Oct at 11am.
-Tried to forget about it for the rest of the day but checked my email hoping for a message from the Consulate, but nothing.
-Spend the next day trying to forget about but still had it in the back of my mind.
-Arrived home at 5:45 on 2 October to a smiling wife who then told me it was approved and was on its way back to me.
-Checked FedEx tracking and saw that it was on the truck coming to me this morning 3 October.

I will soon have it in my hands and hope all the information is correct. I cannot believe that it only took 29 hours from when I gave it to the courier to having an answer back. I was a bit nervous after reading some posts about Expert Visa Services on here and found them a bit cold but hey, they only charged $50 for their service and I did not have to wait long at all. I have no reason not to recommend them. If anyone is interested in what I submitted or any other questions feel free to ask.

We'll be in England soon ;D

Congrats to you...such a relief now that it's over huh? It is such a wonderful feeling to have had that in hand and when the IO looked at it and said to me 'welcome home' I burst into tears...another story.

anyway, good for you!

I have it in my hand right now and it feels great to have it over with.

My only question is that under dependents it says 0. My wife and I have a son together but he has a UK passport. Is that why it says 0? Because he is a British Citizen?
