One step away from visas

Big day today! We finally got our certificates which we have been working on for weeks. (You now have to have a sponsorship certificate to enter and work in the UK.) Since we got our certificates, we have now begun applying for our visas. We have appointments on Thursdays to get our biometrics done and then we will mail everything to the processing center in Chicago and hope for the best! Biometrics is a scan of your fingerprints and a digital picture of your face and it will only take about 5 minutes. 97% of visa applications in our category are decided within 10 days so hopefully we will be leaving during the second or third week of September! Until then, we will be waiting and getting ready to leave...
