Non-priority Spousal Visa Timeline

Sampson and Delilah look like they're plotting murder, not going to lie.

And oh jeez! Goats?! So cool. I knew a guy who lived in my next to my dorm who had a "teacup" piglet. Then, the piglet didn't turn out to actually be a teacup. He talked about his pig and goats getting along, and I just imagine cute farm adventures.

The most I've ever had was when I was probably 3. I had three large dogs (2 black labs, one German Shepherd) and four cats. There was so much fur in that household 

Good Lord do I miss my furry friends. These are such great pictures....thank you for sharing

I am loving all these cat pictures!

Meet my lovelies:
To begin, we have the aforementioned Siamese, Hermione, lording it over the lesser mortals.  She absolutely adores my husband.  They talk on Skype.


This is my beautiful Clara (after Clara Barton).  I had to find a flattering picture of her so that you all would think she's pretty.  She might be part Abyssinian, not that this picture shows that.  I adore her but everyone else finds her too annoying.


This majestic beast is Sampson (Sammie).  He was the first animal we got when we moved to the farm.  He is literally afraid of everything on the planet.


And this beauty is Delilah, one of Clara's kittens.


We currently have four.  Before my parents moved, two were inside and two were outside.  Now three are inside and one decides on the day.  The most we've had at any one time was nine.  My cat also had kittens and they were the most adorable things, so teeny!  We also had four goats, 40 chickens, a rabbit, and three dogs on the farm at any one time.  It was a bit of a zoo.

Goodness do I miss them.  I would give anything for kitty cuddles right about now, and I am not even waiting for a visa.

Awesome!    I'd like two more myself!   
But yours are in the US?

Beautiful babies!

Rick, were you able to find and pics of your ocelot cats?

Not yet, I will search my memory sticks tomorrow. Hopefully I have the pictures that I remember so well, I would love to share them with you. I remember it all so clearly, they were part of my life for 17 years.

I wouldn't put it past them...   

The goats were absolutely lovely.  They were rescue goats.  Two we milked for a few years (best peanut butter fudge ever!) and one was a fainting goat.  The 4th was a pygmy cross who used to slip under the rails of the fence all the time.  They lived a wonderful life mowing our lawn for 12 years.

We had three dogs (Jack Russell, cocker spaniel mix, 100% mutt) when we first moved to our farm and the amount of fur shed was beyond belief!  Martha, the mutt, is still going strong and she sheds like crazy.  I still find her hairs in my apartment and I haven't seen her since January.

They are.  We didn't have our own place when I moved and now we rent so no pets.     I would only have brought Clara and Hermione but Clara is getting old and I don't want to move her over if we will be returning to the US in a few years. 
When we are allowed pets, I have my furrbabies names all picked out and ready to go: Leonardo DiCatrio and Cat Winslet.

Rick, I bet your cats were gorgeous!

I found baby pictures of my cats. I'm taking more this weekend cause it's another bday celebration, and I've prepared more.



Luna at 3 months old. My mom and I had to give her a bath cause she had fleas. Poor baby.



Percy and Luna glare down the evil neighbourhood cat. That thing was mean. If the cats were sitting in a window, it would try to attack them through the screen.



I used the can opener....

Eeeee! That is the cutest picture ever! Little wet body! 

Cute indeed....but that's not a happy face!

Ooo no, she was not happy. But we couldn't keep the fleas on her.

We just recently had to give her another bath cause she has bad dandruff, and the face was so similar. 

Oh no oh no oh no! I found some news on 'MarenLeigh', her passport has got lost whilst being reviewed  http://talk.uk-yankee.com/index.php?topic=90610.0

poor thing absolute nightmare

Just entered GWf # into site and application shows as Drcided on 12 June. But still haven't received email and no tracking info. What does this mean? Any idea how long it will take to ship out?

Hopefully it means more for you than me.  Mines been "decided since May 27th" and I've yet to receive an email saying a decision has been made or UPS changes.

Sorry for the rain on parade post but it does seem if there's not a decision email ...the wait isn't over.

I agree with Kris. It seems like the application tracker saying that a decision has been made is a great thing, in theory, but the only way to really know that you have a decision is to get the email from Sheffield/UPS tracking change.

A couple people have said that it showed decisions but never got the email.

It's brand new and hasn't been "announced" yet.  I think it has some teething issues.  Usually only takes UKVI a year or two to fix these things.
