Applying for a UK Settlement Visa was intimidating. Pages and pages of information had to be written, substiantiated, copied, and notarized. I then had to have my “biometrics” performed (surgery? Not really. Just photos and fingerprints!). Everything was then sent to the UK consulate in Chicago. That — and over $1000! BUT — the good news was that in three weeks I received an email that my visa had been approved — and I would soon have the paperwork in hand. What does that mean to me? I can move to the UK, work, and become a member of the British family — one step removed! The ease of the process assured me that what I was doing, moving to Wales, was in the “stars”. Now, I have stars in my eyes!
