Hurray!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

My Visa finally came!! It only took 6 weeks and lots of faxes and phone calls.

Visa Timeline from HELL!!
August 3:
My application was mailed then received on August 5.

September 2:
My wonderful sent an e-mail to the Visa Complaints asking if my visa had been lost. Quickly got a reply stating "your application was deferred for further information and depending on what type of information was requested it can take 6 - 8 weeks to receive a response". BLAH!

September 7:
After moving my flight from Sept 5 to Sept 13, I sent a lovely fax letter politely telling them to hurry their British asses up. Thankfully, Hurricane Earl

September 9:
Woohoo!! Someone called me! Mr Eric gave some bad news...my visa had been deferred for "security reasons" although he did/could not say specifically. He informed me that he was taking a lot of time in his busy to call me. Sigh. Again, moved the flight from 13th to the 18th.

September 16:
My dad left a curt message stating that my entire year would be ruined if I didn't get to leave soon. Love him!

September 17:
Got a call from Mr Eric on my way to the agility trial. In a "hypothetical" situation, someone's fingerprints partially matched an arrest record. Also, stated he was afraid of my dad.

September 21:
Mr Eric called!! His minions mailed my visa overnight!

September 22:
VISA!!!

Finally, I'm over here in one piece!
