X-rays found! Decision expected within days!

Cheers!


Hello readers,

Yay! I just got an e-mail from the Immigration office in NZ, and our x-rays were FOUND in the London office! Located! Identified!

What does this mean? I don't have to find a doctor to give me a referral to get another chest x-ray (and then pay hundreds of dollars for it). I don't have to mail my x-ray form (overnight) to either London or NZ. I don't have to wait the indeterminable amount of time it would take to get all of this accomplished, just to have a "completed application." It's done! And my case officer, Lin, expects to have a decision within a few days.

This means that I'm finally where I thought I would be a month ago. I get to look into flights, gap year insurance, all sorts of fun things. I can finally make a to-do list and work my way through. How exciting!

Not that this time was a complete waste. I've spent lots of quality time with little Kycen, and I've gotten to volunteer in Betsy's classroom. I painted a picture today for the first time in a year. And, most importantly, the delay means that Rory can attend his nan's funeral. They say everything happens for a reason.

More news soon (I hope)!
