The time has come!!
We had to fill out a fairly lengthy application online. First, we started by getting a copy of our marriage license. Luckily, we're currently living in the same county that we filed our license.
We headed to the court house and had our license in a matter of minutes.
I was cracking up as Jerry had to fill out the request form with a flower pen. So manly, he is!! Ha! And such a good sport for letting me post this picture!

We sat one day and filled in FIVE work visa applications!! For each member of the family the form was about 20 pages!! My brain was like jell-o afterward!
It was so nice to have it all done and be able to FedEx those forms!! We were also a bit freaked out!
Why, you ask?
Those applications aren't cheap and if something is filled out incorrectly, you start ALL over!!!
We had some other letters and forms that had to be included with the applications, so from the time we started filling in the forms to putting them in the mail was 8 days.
It took 2 days to get to New York.
By the following Monday we got an email that our application file had been received and opened to begin processing.
By Thursday of the same week we got notification that our work visas were being issued!! Whoot!
That was the fastest work visa process we have done to date in our 5 country/13 years of living internationally!!
We're scheduled to fly out on Friday, February 15th (still waiting on our company to issue tickets)!!
Watch out England, here comes the Barnwell crew!!
At least they sorta speak the same language!
ReplyDeleteYep! Just have to get use to different phrasing. We've had English friend across Europe, so we're hoping we have a bit of a head start! =)
DeleteHow exciting! So glad the process was relatively smooth this time! It is just strange to think that I have now "followed" you across about 5 countries! Can't wait to hear all about your new adventures...
ReplyDeleteSo true, you have!! Come visit us in England!!
DeleteThat's so exciting! We just renewed our visas, and we were presently surprised that it only took a few weeks. Good luck on your move!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteGood luck with your move here, I cannot see your followers button!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteStrange! I just had a redesign so I wonder if that messed with it, but I can see it. It's down past the "blogs I enjoy" and just below the SITS Girls button. I also have Networked Blogs. Let me know if you still don't see it and I can ask my designer about it. I might play around with moving it up some. Thanks!!
I have put you on my sidebar instead.
