Approved at window 15 by a lovely American guy! Sorry for the late reply & thanks to everyone for the good luck wishes & support throughout this whole process...I have no had time to post on here yet as I spent a few extra days with friends & family saying goodbye. Hoping to leave the first week of next month :)

Kelly also got approved & we had our interviews at the same time at windows next to each other! It was great to share this experience with another VJer in reality. I think we were both so nervous & so thankful we had each other to chat to during our wait time. Hugged, paid, went for coffee to celebrate & rang our guys to wake them up & tell them good news kicking.gif

Congratulations. Sounds like a good day with a fellow VJer to share it with.

Thanks Nick, it really was :) I think we will be lifelong friends! I don't know why I was so nervous the weeks building up to it. It really was so easy & I felt like I was having a chat with the officer rather than being interviewed. The staff at every stage were lovely. Even had a chat with the infamous "dragon lady" who takes your initial paper work about hand bags! lol good.gif

Good luck! I am LeftCoastLady's fiance and speaking as someone who only went through this yesterday, I was absolutely terrified but it was all worth it.
