As most of you know we were issued with the 221g Refusal form at the interview on the 24th September due to my passport and birth certificate not being up to standard.

I really cant express how stressful the last 2 weeks and 2 days since my interview have been for us, and all of our family and friends.

We were told that it may take 15 working days for our visa to be Issued, which means we would have missed our wedding.

Today we logged into CEAC and found London have Approved and Issued our visa in 4 working days!! Really I cant fault them on their efficiency and speed in which they processed our case its really unbelievable.

Most of all THANK YOU to my VJ friends (you know who you are) who have been messaging me for the past 2 weeks with their prayers, crossed fingers, well wishes, whatever. Really what I would have done without this support network I dont know.

Of course I wont relax until its in my hand, and im through immigration with no problems lol, but for now, this will do just fine biggrin.png

Yeh - congratulations. Expect a surprisingly large packet (yes a real packet) and make sure your passport with visa doesn't drop out of the bottom of the outer envelope when you open it. Mine did :-)
