Pretty hard to stay positive, not hearing a word from immigration nor seeing any other visas being granted has made us rather depressed, and we fear asking any questions of immigration lest our application finds its way back to the bottom of the pile.
Even if it's granted right now we face the bogey of high priced airfare January.
Meanwhile I continue to support my wife who can't really take up any job offers while she's in limbo, I suppose immigration know that and it may go some way to explaining our waiting period.
Best wishes to all here for xmas and I'd really like you all to be granted visas by then.
