I hadn’t been checking the post (mail) – no rushing with anticipation to see what had arrived each day. Given the time of year, when US immigrations said it would take 2-4weeks for my card to arrive, I assumed it would be closer to the 4 week mark before it came. But tonight we checked [...]

It feels later than it is. It’s been a long week. Work was a mixture of really busy and absolutely dead – and up until today I hadn’t been feeling well at all…in fact Wednesday saw me taking the day off work (a more weighty decision given that my work place don’t pay sick days!) [...]

My Employment Authorisation card arrived in the post on Saturday, five days after they’d notified me that my application had been approved – quicker than I’d expected. Sadly this just seems to confirm that the timescales they have up on the website for the Immigrations office in Tennessee are fairly accurate…and that leaves my Adjustment [...]

I started this post a while ago, so I’ll just update this and publish it (and then I can say to Matt “I have blogged” and he can stop nagging me!!!) It’s not that exciting, but here’s the latest visa news…as of Wednesday 15th December at 2.47pm our latest batch of papers for US immigrations [...]

Sorry, I should be blogging loads, but I just don’t seem to find the time – or when I do, I just can’t think of anything to write! We’ve been busy filling in forms to go to US immigrations (again) – and they have just recently (as of 1st of the month) changed where you [...]

Well, I’m here (Dayton, TN)…US immigrations saw fit to let me in and all the bags made it across (whether everything is in one piece has still to be determined…there are many unpacked bags sitting in the front room!!!) It’s weird – it really hit me on Sunday night when we arrived that I had [...]

Got back from Greenbelt today – rather scarey driving the van while feeling so exhausted, but Oli and Gill kept me awake and we made it back to the office, unloaded the van and headed our separate ways…very odd after having spent a large part of the last 8 days with one another! Anyway, this [...]

I don’t particularly like waiting…and I’m having to do too much of that now…well I guess it’s not really too much…but for someone who prefers to do things now, waiting for visa stuff and not knowing when things will happen isn’t much fun. I phoned the US embassy in London today, although that wasn’t much [...]

Well the information that Matt sent me finally arrived on Tuesday (and that was with him paying loads more for it to get here quicker…sadly it seems to have been Royal Mail that decided to drag their feet…the US postal service were super fast in getting it out of the country!). That meant I could [...]

For those that are following the visa journey with bated breath (and those others who just read!), here’s the latest installment… Today my police check arrived (one of the things I have to have in my possession before signing a checklist and returning it to the US embassy in London)…so, it tells me (what I [...]
