There's been a long running and expensive battle to get my son's American wife and little daughter across - though my grand daughter has duel nationality.
Bear, being Bear, has single-mindedly devoted a great deal of time and effort to helping out our lad on the technical side, with a lot of help from some very experienced people, (she ain't called the Bear 'cos she's cute and cuddly - usually) while he's been working hard throwing a great deal of money at it.
The visa has been refused. I'm not at liberty to say why. However, there is a small window of opportunity through the appeals process, so it's fingers crossed.
Bear and Son are both frazzled by the whole process. It hasn't helped that Bear has been at the receiving end of an internet Troll on immigration forums. Her instinct is to fight back - however, the golden rule is Don't Feed The Trolls.
Don't get these unpleasant pratts who hide behind keyboards.
Meanwhile, we've all been hit by an unpleasant virus causing chest infections and 'flu like symptoms, followed by a Ginourmous fuel bill, thanks to an increase of over 20%. Marvellous.
Pah. It's only money.... Meanwhile, I am, as usual, ever the optimist. I've always taken a long term view. You stumble, you fall, say "Hello floor", get up and trundle on. I'm quite an expert at that. Stability, consistency, common sense and security. That's the role of a family man, right? :)
