When are you getting your VISA?

i booked mine today for TOMORROW! so i can give you the low down on how scary boring it is. lol. I just wanted to get it out of the way so that i could get excited and wouldn't have to worry about anything.

 

And you're going in May so it's not that far away for you either!

 

i know im very excited. although im going to new york for a week at the end of april so i hope they dont get funny about a visa being in my pasport. OH well we will have to see.

 

Got my visa approved WOOP! It has been a LONG day to say the least. Be prepared to wait people. I even managed to fit in a power nap.

 

you kno when we get our visa's do we leave our passports with them or do we keep them? im wandering casue going to miami the first 2 weeks of april but would prefere to do my visa thing b4 hand as really busy once im bk in uni etc.. but dont know what to do? any help x

 

You have to give them your passport. It may take a couple of weeks to get back to you... I would definately go after your holiday to be on the safe side!!

 

they told me i would get it back in a week. But that could be once its been passed on.

 

Got my visa in the post today. My appointment was on Monday so it took less then a week for them to get it back to me which i am very happy about. Its SO pretty ;D

 

Got mine booked for 7th April at 1pm anyone else on that day?!?

I think I'm gonna die without a phone or ipod or anything to keep me entertained!! 50 days arghhhh!!! xx

 

They're only taking bookings for London up till April 9th.
Had to go through lots of stupid rigamarole to be informed of this.
Humph
xx

 

Oh that's rubbish! So I guess you didn't book it then?

 

Nope, I can't go until the last week in April - I am away 2 weeks out of the 4 for Easter (in another country), and elsewhere in England for one week... I can't guarantee to get my passport back in time.

What's more annoying is she couldn't tell me when I would be able to book, I just have to keep trying.

Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about the form yet!

Ergh yeah me Leanne and Jess and Dan had that some problem, we kept ringing to try and book the 9th April then we finally got to book it last week, which is good coz it means that they are around for my birthday weekend! or it wouldn't have happened!

Hold in there Katie, ring again in 2 weeks

xxx

P.S going 9th April at 1pm! xx

 

Yeah they were booking up til the end of March when I called them 10 days ago so I reckon wait a couple of weeks and you'll be in there ;D

 

I'll maybe try again on Friday if I have time... if not it will be the start of April as I'm away next week in DLRP with Charlotte!

I think I'll try for an 11.30am appointment again... although if all goes to plan I will be coming from uni rather than home, so I don't have to worry about car keys as I can get a bus... not sure how early I can get to the station though!
Sooo excited!
xx

 

Are you not allowed keys!? Crazy.

And v. jealous about DLRP!!!

 

My car only has remote lock keys, so they are electronic. It twas very annoying, as basically I had to pay to store my keys. I could have done without my phone and iPod on the train - but I needed to drive home!
I handed over my stuff to the guy at the station, and he was all "Going to the Embassy?" and I was like "Yeah!"

Clearly I am not alone!

im soo annoyed about all these stupid hidden costs!! Orange have told me it can cost me £10 per minute to call this visa number and i can't afford that no way! And i gotta travel from London to leeds, why don't they do a central location aswell! GRRR.

 

Sofi - find a landline somewhere. Can you call from home at Easter?

And if you book far enough in advance travel is really cheap

I feel sorry for people from Scotland who have to go to Belfast or London!

right 26th March 1pm how long do u think we'll be there for, 5 hours? x
