I am so excited! There is a guy who was processing through Accra, he's Nigierian, like my husband. His first stage approval was Nov 23, 2009, and last week he had his interview and has already received his visa! This is like super record fast for Accra, to have it completed in just 7 months.
However, I was married before and have kids, which may arouse more suspicion as to why my husband would marry me. (Africans are not exactly known for wanting to take on a divorced woman or someone else's children) Although, we do have 7 trips of me visiting him in the UK and one to Nigeria spanning a 2 year relationship. This other guy who got his visa in 7 months had a 10 month internet relationship, his fiancee came to Nigeria and they married on the first visit, and then she came back once more, 5 months later. I assume we will have more evidence than him to support our relationship, so it isn't out of the question for my husband to be here in early 2011!!!
When we went into this process we were thinking he would be here by Christmas 2011. Who knows, we could have a baby by then!
