The good news is that I went back to the website and someone else had cancelled their appointment, and I grabbed it for tomorrow. This is good news because I should be able to get my Entrance Clearance in a day and be cleared to go.
The bad news is that I have to pay $420 for each of my other family members to bring them--$2100!!
This is not the easy process that simple travel is. If we were just visiting, it wouldn't cost us anything, but the regular airfare, hotel, food, etc. But since there's work and money involved, it's not easy. The governments all have clever ways of separating people from their money. Ah well, it's an adventure, right?
I'm hoping that if I delay their arrival so that they are coming for less than 6 months, there might be some relief on this. Six months seems to be some magic number for them.
If anyone else is planning this kind of thing, 6 months is a very magical number for the UK Home Office. If you can get your contract under 6 months, the immigration part will be much easier.
