Hi Charlotte. Good to hear from you and I see that we have something in common - we were both married on February 18th! (I am guessing the 8th was a typo in your post as both your signature and timeline say 18th.)

I got my visa on 8 November and arrived here on 4th December so our journey was relatively quick - especially as Trevor wasn't actually a USC when we started out.

Good luck with your interview. I saw the picture of your bruising - that was pretty shocking. I think that I did have a bruise after my blood test but I think it was probably what you would normally expect.

Take care

Cathy
