I finally got a chance to talk to Jules this morning and it turns out it’s not as bad as it seems. He’ll be able to get his fingerprints taken tomorrow morning and hopefully send out the certificate within the week. It seems like it won’t throw off any of our plans at all and he may even arrive around the time we were hoping for previously.

Guess I overreacted a bit to that little bit of bad news nestled amongst all the good. The fact is Jules *did* get approved for the visa and within a month he will be here with me and we will be able to get married. There was a lot riding on this interview and clearly I had a lot of pent up emotion waiting to get out somehow, and tears of frustration was just the path it chose.

It sounds like Jules had a really nice time in Sydney and even got to meet up with some internet friends. I can’t wait to see the pics he took of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
