Another newcomer!
« on: May 10, 2013, 01:45:37 PM »
Hi!

My name is Robyn, and I'm an American wife and mom to my English husband and two little girls whom I jokingly refer to as 'my halfbreeds' due to their US/UK passports. :)

We live in Islington, and after 18 months of back and forth on the 6 month visitor visa, a denied long-term visa application, I am now the proud and weary owner if a spousal visa. They changed three guidelines while my atty was compiling my case, so that was a ton of fun! But tis done now and I'm here legally, so all's well, eh?

I'm a stay at home mom and I stimulate the local economy. Like, a lot.

I like to cook, shop, read, shop...

I look forward to 'meeting' you all!
I'm what Willis was talkin' 'bout.
