Phone Call from LA Consulate!
« on: September 21, 2008, 08:52:50 PM »
I received a phone call from the LA British Consulate today asking my departure date YAY!!!

I told them October 24th... heh then DF said 'now they will put you further back in the pile cause it's ages away!" hehe what a ray of sunshine he is.

I asked if it had been approved and she said not yet but everything looked in order. I dunno when I am gonna get it but hopefully soon so I can get on with planning what I am going to do!

I was so happy I was shaking!

She also said they were working overtime because there was a huge amount of visa apps to go through etc and they were trying to get it done in a timely manner

Hooray!  I had a call today as well, asking for my departure date.  Sounds like things are moving forward.  Where are you moving to, Calamity Jane?

Oh yay, what good news! 

It's cool they're working overtime so our waiting time isn't ridiculous.  Though I know there are people on here still waiting :(

it was listed as unknown on caller ID, if you don't have voice mail I would suggest braving the telemarketers... sorry I don't have a number to give ya =(

LOL my landline at home has a message like that but it's more "If you are from the LA consulate please call my cell number listed in the application!

I am in a similar situation to you Raff, all we get on the landline is calls from telemarketers, ALL THE TIME! to be honest the only tim I answer it usually is when I am in the mood to tell someone off... :-[ :-[ :-[ heh Telling secrets on my self... I have answered it faithfully when I am home though in fear I would miss a call.
