Result! I got my spousal visa!
« on: April 14, 2009, 10:55:07 PM »
I found out late this afternoon that my spousal visa has been approved and I should have it in hand tomorrow. A very good day! :D

Thanks for all your words of support! And a big thank you to Vicky for being my official immigration specialist! I just wish I had come to you when the immigration solicitor told me there was no way for me to apply without my husband having a job. I could have saved myself ten weeks of heartache. But I'm just so happy to know I'll be going home soon!

I'm going home! I'm going home!
:D

Stops reading. Opens can. Congratulations, told you not to worry it wasn't done in one day.

Oops, well, one more can't do any harm!

Congrats AmericanMum!

I have a question --- since I just took photos for my fiance visa.  Once I eventually get my spouse visa will I be required to have another photograph taken?

If you're talking about biometrics, yes, you'll need to go for that appointment again. If you're applying for the two visas within 6 months, they should be considered recent. I forget if the application form gives a more specific clarification of recent.

Thanks, everyone, for the congrats! I'm still pinching myself! :D But it's not over until the fat lady sings, or in this case, until FedEx delivers my passport and documents tomorrow.

I think that's an awesome idea for everyone involved on here--but it has to be a British sized beer, not an American size (my fiance calls them baby bottles when he visits) :)

P.S. I knit for the very same reason. ;)
