I got my work permit approved, hooray!! I thought that was the big hurdle in getting into the UK. Well it was one of them. Next I had to apply for a VISA, no small task. The online application took me about 2 hours to complete. Fortunately, you can save it and go back, but still...
Another odd thing about the application process is that I couldn't use a lower case "t" without copying and pasting it. I finally gave up and started typing everything in all caps.
In a number of places on the website, they tell you that you must complete the application process before you can make your appointment to get to the VISA office at the embassy. But not until I had paid the $420 fee did I find out that the soonest appointment I could make was Sept 11th! I'm not superstitious about that day, but it is about 4 days after I'm supposed to leave to get to England. Dang!
I'll have to call them on Monday to see if there's any way to either mail my application or get an earlier appointment.
