I don’t need my old passport too do I. I can pack it ?

Any sensitive documents such as this, I would put in hand luggage to be safe. Don't put anything worth stealing in your checked luggage.  :)

Woohoo!  I've been following your journey with the whole scanning/document debacle and huge delay in getting an answer to your application. 

So glad to hear you finally got a decision, and it was a YES!  Congratulations!

Hi guys
So glad to see so many approvals in such short times lately yay
My last few days in Texas before I leave Thursday morning. I’m so over the moon excited and ready to get home. I’ve spent time with family and friends and gained a few pounds from all the eating out lol.
This Thursday also the British magazine “Take A Break “ will feature my husband and my story so if y’all get a chance to pick it up.  I’m excited to see it too .
Best of luck to all and I’ll be here hanging round to help where I can.

Another Texan looking to leave. :) Enjoy your flight!
Even when life seems at it's most dark and despairing.. there is within the power to make change.
