It's All Over Now

I got my visa today!!!!! Now I can be with my husband permanently. Now this couple has been united. As soon as I got it, I cried. Then I laughed. Then I did a bit of both. The fees, the stress, the worries, the tears...it was all worth it in the end. I have read some expat forums and they usually provide a timeline. And happily, I'll finally be able to provide mine. Been looking forward to this:

June 7, 2016: The first supporting documents I added: conversation logs and photos
July 20, 2016: Received new passport with married name
September 23, 2016: Received all supporting documents
October 6, 2016: Filled out application and paid applicable fees (used Priority Service)
October 11, 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 14, 2016: Sent out the application and supporting documents
October 17, 2016: Application arrived in Sheffield
October 24, 2016: Got the email declaring a decision has been made
October 27, 2016: UK Spouse Visa received

I'm just as happy as I was on my wedding day. But I feel like if the stress hadn't prevented me from eating and getting a good night's sleep, I would be feeling more energetic.
