The next stop of this process is applying for and receiving our visas. We had all sorts of documentation to complete, including all international trips for the past 10 years! It took Brad at least 45 minutes to do that with all the trips he has made this year to Dubai and South Africa, plus all the traveling he did for Campbell's.
Then, we had to wait to get my passport back because I had sent it off for renewal since it was going to expire in 2016 (my thought process was that I needed to renew now since it would expire while we were over there. oops!) But, it all worked out and I got my passport and then we had to go to the immigration office to get our fingerprints captured. In Britain, they require fingerprints for everyone age 5 and up, so even Alison had to get her fingerprints.
We had printed out all this documentation to take to the immigration office; however, we had NOT printed out the ONE piece of paper required. So, Lauren and I got to see the downtown Louisville library so we we could print out 4 pieces of paper. Thank goodness they were able to do all of us in one day, rather than the two days they had scheduled for us.
After fingerprinting, we mailed all documents including birth certificates, marriage liscense, passports off to the British consulate in NY to be approved for our visas. Here's hoping we are approved!
