Got the Visa

[mrswooten4ever 0]

We got our visa!!!!! Just as well we got to London early because the map for the embassy is not to scale and there are numerous roads missing!!!! It tooks us over an hour to find the it and this after asking at least 4 people for directions. We got there late at 11.15 went through security all the way round the building, up the stairs to reception and took a number. We were number 18 and when we looked at the board there was only one other number in front of us. We had about a 15 minuted wait and we were called to counter 16. A very pleasant gentleman with a strange accent asked to see the appointment letter he went and got our file, when he came back he gave us our xrays and asked for our documentation. I signed the forms, handed him the visa pics, he gave me the courier form to completed and told me the CO would call me as soon as he had sorted all the documents. 10 mins later we were called to counter 15 and a very pleasant lady swore me in. I noticed that our file had the red approved stamp on it. She took our fingerprints, then said well now I have to ask you some nozey questions LOL She asked how we met, when we met in person. told me i was very brave for going to mee him LOL then asked if if met Mike's kids. She also said that my son's special needs were not cause for concern as they had noted them on the medical and they could be taken care of in America. She explained about the big brown envelope and said not to open it as the POE guys have no sense of humour LOL She chatted about her daughter and her dislike for the tube abd how she goes everywhere by bus. She aske the kids how they felt about going. Wish us good luck and told me to go pay the courier.

It was so easy nothing to stress about at all.!
