HEY GUESS WHAT

[neverwhere]

After months, years of waiting, fretting, stomach-churning anxiety and a whole lot of crying... MY VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED AT LAST OMG OMG FINALLY YAYYYYYYYYYYYY :D :D :D

I'm so ludicrously happy. And RELIEVED. I am pretty much numb except for the overwhelming relief it's finally over, I can relax and get this 16 ton weight off my chest. Well, I still have the next application to be done in two years, and we're still catastrophically poor and in dire need of monetary assistance, BUT at least there's one less area of doom and gloom to afflict us and make me want to fling head first into a volcano. Thank god. ;-)

Thank you for putting up with me, my most wonderful friends. I hope now that something has actually gone right for a change I will be encouraged to continue updating and keep you informed of my rather silly life and all the mundane fripperies it entails. *grins*

So so happy. I LOVE THE UK :D

Even if it says 'No public funds' on my ID card?

I always thought James at least would finally be able to claim benefits once I was legal, this is all so confusing :(

It does seem weird. The one exception I know of is working tax credit - which you can claim if one of you works over 30 hours per week and the other over 16 hours per week.

But council tax definitely gives you a discount for being unemployed, which isn't the same as benefits. They might even be able to backdate that - call them and find out, the worst that can happen is that they say no and nothing changes.
