X-Rays and Police Certificates

Things are still moving forward, albeit very slowly. We have both had our police checks done, from the Gardai and also from the PSNI. And on Monday we had our X-rays taken. The radiologist will have the results from that on Friday, and we can pick up the plates then to take them to the medical. We don't have the medical actually booked yet, but hopefully we will get an appointment quite soon. Skry's fear of needles is making him drag his feet on that one...

However, there has been another reason for the length of time that the visa application process is taking us. We are getting married at Hallowe'en! It has been a real whirlwind, because we only got engaged in mid-August, so obviously that has been the focus of most of our energy. It is the only thing that could have been so exciting that it made New Zealand take a back seat, I think!

However, we can't let NZ slip too far. Our ITAs have to be in London by November 17th at the absolute latest. I would much rather have them submitted before the wedding, so that we can relax. But we'll see what happens.
