Congratulations - my wife got same email today from NY consulate so she'll be able to come over this week and join me again!  ;D

Got married on Sept 9th, biometrics on 13th. We sent the documents in on Sept 15th, got email saying it was being processed last Friday (26th) . Unfortunately I had to come home last Thursday.

A big thank you to everyone on this site for their help and advice.

Congratulations, Ven! Was that a Spousal or Fiancee? Or does it make much difference?

I'm going to be cutting it very fine, between the time my house-buyer's mortgage is approved, and the time the sale is final and I have to vamoose.
