And They're Off!
FINALLY! After much agonizing, panic, and ridiculous amounts of money, my application for a Settlement Visa for the UK is in the mail! Or more accurately, in FedEx Express Overnight's hot little hands. Guaranteed to arrive by 10:30am tomorrow!
According to the lovely voice on the British Consulate General's 900 number (only $2.10 per minute), it is currently taking a minium of 10 working days. I figure if you don't count Friday (after all, they never count the day it arrives) or next Tuesday (it's a holiday, after all), we're looking at about the 17th or 18th at the earliest for notification the Visa's been approved. The Visa will arrive 3 days after it has been approved. At that point I can buy my plane ticket. YAY!!!!!!
So, cross your fingers, toes, elbows and as many other joints as possible. Pray hard that everything goes smoothly and quickly!

Hey Pam, just want to point out, next Tuesday isn't a holiday for them. Just us crazy Americans =). Either way, all available joints are crossed for you. Let us know as soon as you hear back.

Hey, Michelle!
Yeah, I know they don't exactly celebrate the 4th (hehehe!), but I figured since this was the Consulate in LA, they might be closed. So, for the sake of not driving myself nuts, I discounted that day. :)
