LL got up this morning and checked on the VFS website and it said our application was ready to be picked up. We weren’t sure what to expect, but I’m glad we arrived just in time before the visa processing centre closed.

I just got two emails in this format below, which I did not before when our visa got rejected. Does this mean that our visas have been approved?

But while I was watching it, I couldn’t help but ignore this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that the time spent watching the show wasn’t ever [...]

I finally got my acceptance letter from UCL in the mail. Which means I finally got my visa application in today. This means that I am one step closer to getting a visa. There are two requirements left to pray for:
1. student visa accepted
2. student dependent allowed to work while I’m [...]
