Hello!

Had my interview this morning and was approved! Very happy and relieved. There were a lot of people there and long queues but the interview was very casual and over in five minutes so I was worried for nothing. I will post a review tomorrow when I'm home and not on my phone. Thanks for the help everyone!!!

p.s. Kindles are not allowed in. The girl in front of me had a kindle keyboard and I had an old kindle but were told to check them in at Gould's. Its something to do with the buttons on them they don't like.

Congrats! I have mine tomorrow, hoping my experience is as easy as yours :)

When you say that kindles aren't allowed in...were kindles without the buttons ok? Am leaving for my bus in an hour and need to know whether to leave mine behind :P

sorry I'm still on my phone so just saw the question. I'm not sure about kindles without buttons. I assume if an iPad is ok then so is a kindle fire. I had to duck out of the security bit inside a little booth, pop up the road to goulds pharmacy and was fortunately able to go straight back into the security booth, so if you are told to store it after all then it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!!

Thank you for the congratulations :)

I've just written an embassy review and its a bit long but I like to be thorough. I found the more detailed reviews more helpful so thought I would repay the favour.

Thank you to everyone who helped out (directly and indirectly) when I had questions, especially Nich-Nick who is the biggest star with so much knowledge and patience.

:) :) :)
