I now have £50 (from the American Express travel place after giving up $90.87.. ughh), two perfectly packed suitcases and a growing desire to scream and throw things. It’s been six full business days since the British Consulate in New York began processing my visa application (THIRTEEN business days since they received it) and I haven’t heard a thing. I’m presently checking my e-mail every 10 minutes and going completely out of my mind. Just thought I’d give an update.
