More Government Mail!
It’s my favorite kind of mail these days! After we received the letter saying the Embassy had our application we filled out the neccessary forms, went to London for a doctor and have been anxiously waiting for the all important interview date.
Coincidentally, Mr.D’s interview in London is 2 days after I leave the country. Since I’m flying out of London on June 1st Mr.D will stay behind instead of heading home up north. Here’s hoping we can change his flight on the cheap!
If the interview is successfull he’ll receive his passport back with the visa inside a few days after his interview. The only slightly sour note on this otherwise sweet date? We have to pay $131 for the visa application. This wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t already irritated with the government for dumping over $2,000 on top of our wedding budget. I guess the $131 is just a drop in the proverbial $2,000 immigration bucket.
Enough boohooing, it’s time to celebrate (and make copies of lots of forms)!!!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you two. We had a little blip in getting our visa but the problem only added about 3 more weeks. It was devastating at the time, but worked out ok in the end. I’m sure it will go smoothly for you.
I too, miss my $2,000!!
