More picky stupid questions...

Okay, so, I sent my application to the consulate in LA yesterday. so now is panic time...

I realized I made a stupid little tiny mistake. My resume had last been updated when I was student teaching in England in the Fall. I updated all of the information in it for my application, but I just realized that I forgot to change the UK address. So it is Vincent's parents' address, because that's where we were living at the time, and it does not match our new address. I know it's small and dumb, but is that going affect me in any way whatsoever?

Again, I know I am just freaking out. But I figured people here would put my mind at ease

Mmmm, I'm not sure if they'll notice it, to be honest. CVs aren't necessarily required for the visa to begin with, so if anything I guess they'd glance over your qualifications and such to see what you'd be qualified to do in the UK. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's a make-or-break issue

Lol, I figured. But i'm so panicked now that it's sent  Eek!

I also just checked my tracking number and it was delivered and signed for at the Consulate today at 12:45 PM!!!! I think I need a stiff drink...

Eh, it's natural to panic kinda, I feel like I've been on pins and needles since I got home, and I haven't even submitted anything yet

You'll do great, and a stiff drink never hurt anyone as long as it's a celebratory one

Right, I was like that too. With all the visa issues and the wedding planning (even though it was tiny). So when I sent the application, I felt free, because I was like "it's out of my hands now." But now that free feeling is gone again and replaced with fear. Hellllllp.

I'll be fine, really. I may just have a glass of wine though.... I think visas might make people alcoholics. It's a theory. We should do a case study or something.

I keep telling Steve once I mail it off, I'll run around in circles because I'll be free of this big UKBA monkey on my back Once it's mailed off there's nothing else I can really do, so I don't have a chance of messing it up--it's in the ECOs hands at that point.

I know I could use a beer sometimes when I think about my visa, something like Newcastle or somesuch, in a big British bottle. It makes me sound like an alcoholic, I'm not, I just don't have a lot of ways to blow off excess stress

Just type out a letter explaining everything and have it ready in case they call to ask about it, that way you'll have it ready to fax or mail right away.

Chances are they won't but at least you will be prepared.

Oh that wouldn't take me long to write at all. I'll write it if they ask for it.

So, I just read the BCI Bill thread, and am very very confused? I don't really understand it at all (though it doesn't seem like anyone does) and I feel like maybe I shouldn't even look into it because I will just give myself a heart attack or something.

I don't do beer. But I could go for some Magners right now. For sure.

But there is no such thing over here. So I'm off to get a glass of wine.......

Don't get too caught up in that just yet, wait until you are in the UK on the right visa before worrying about what might happen in the future.

Yeppp, that's what i decided to do. I am ignoring it and happily sipping on that aforementioned wine. Thanks for helping to put my frazzled mind at ease though. I love this site. I can't express that enough. Ranting to my friends who don't understand any of this just doesn't help as much as ranting to others in this forum...

Forget it.  Don't bother writing a letter.  They won't care, probably won't notice, and if the rest of the application was okay they won't even look at the CV anyway.

I don't think I even sent one with mine...it wasn't one of the required pieces of information. So to princess...don't worry about it!

Okay, I figured as much, but in my worried/waiting state I will panic over every little thing. Needed someone to tell me to chill.

Thanks!

Whey, nothing wrong with a bottle o' dog!
