It was 8.06.10 I applied I made a mistake on original post, when we looked into this visa in Dec 09 they were only taking 3-6 weeks to process, and I didn't want to put application in too soon! ( agghhh hindsight) as I had my final exams May 27th, so finished and passed these then sent in application, I break up for the 6 weeks holidays next friday, and thought I would be merrily packing, we actually booked the wedding in February, when october seemed a world away.
