Got my spousal visa in hand! Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I just received my spousal visa about 30 minutes ago with the CP (KOL REQ).


A special thanks to Vicky, I think I've read every post of hers!

I sent mine thru A Briggs and I did have a deferment but it only lasted a day.


Whoo Hoo!

Congrats

Congrats   It is a great feeling!!

Congratulations, I am so jealous, I bet you are relieved.  Enjoy the feeling and success, you deserve it!

congrats!!

Thanks Ladies,

I'm very relieved.  The monkey is definitely off my back.   

Forgive my ignorance but I keep seeing KOL and can't figure out what it is.  I have a fiance visa and I believe it is something that is stamped on the spousal visa.  I have searched the boards for the meaning but can't find it anywhere.  Is KOL something everyone will get?

Gongrats hun that is awesome! =)

I think KOL is Knowledge of Life in the UK... it's a test you have to take before you get your FLR further Leave to Remain... i.e. 2 year spousal visa... I think heh

not everyone will get a KOL endorsement on their visa- only those who have been living together for four years or more outside the UK and apply from a spouse visa from the US without having taken the Life in the UK test.  So in your case, you don't need to worry about it.

Not quite right...you take the Life in the UK test before you get ILR (ie, while you're on the 2 year spouse visa).  It's certainly not a prerequisite for FLR.
