<blockquote rel="catseye12">@jim_hodge how bout your wife's application, any news yet? </blockquote>
Happily things are moving, she managed to do the medical a couple of days ago, it was delayed due to injury (be careful when you sit on plastic chairs or handle young nephews), about all we're waiting on is the NSO to release an official marriage certificate, and of course the result of the medical.
I was wrong before too, her application was on the 7th June not the 5th.
