Well I am finally here in the UK and have had my first night's sleep. All in all, the amount of stress we endured was totally worth it. Being with the hubby again and the kitty, on a permanent basis is such a weight off my shoulders.
I did have a little snag at Heathrow tho. Because I was denied a visa before (she did ask me this and asked why, even tho it was all written on her screen), the IO did have me sit off to the side while she went and checked to make sure my visa had been processed correctly and there were no issues. This kind of freaked me out since EVERYTHING I owned was either in a container en route to England or thrown/given away. But all was fine. She did say however that I may get questioned everytime I come in or even asked to wait while they verify the visa since it will ALWAYS pop up on their screen. It was under 10 minutes (probably more like 5) so I wouldn't mind. A small price to pay to be able to live in a country I love with the person and kitty I love.
Thank you to everyone who answered my silly questions and offering support when I felt at my lowest. I would not have made it through this process with all my hair or sanity in tact without everyone's help! So thank you a million times!!!!
