Couldn't help but share...

So, it looks like on the 8th April 2016 I'll finally get to meet my SO! Psyched would be an understatement of the year. He got his form today for choosing potential days-off next year. He's trying to pack a whole bunch together, and if it gets approved, he'll be down here for 12 days! He still needs to get his passport sorted out, but it shouldn't take too long. I hope anyway. I have absolutely no idea how long US passports take to process lol. He'll be staying in a holiday home not far from where I live, and more than likely for the time he's down here, I'll be staying there with him. He'll be meeting my parents too, though this doesn't worry me too much, he's spoken to them a bit already and they seem comfortable enough around him.

All in all, I really cannot wait!

Aaaahhh that's really cool!!! I'm so excited for you. First times are great!

Hopefully my SO should be coming over for his first visit here about the same time, it seems a long way off but it will fly by!!! When I booked my flight to go and meet him for the first time I had 4 months wait but it flew past so quickly.

I hope it all goes well for you both, exciting times!!!

Congratulations!!! You'll see time will at first feel like an eternity and all of the sudden you'll see that it actually flew by!! My SO did the whole passport process when he came to visit me and I remember it took like about a month and a half, because they need to schedule his appointment. After that he needed to wait for the appt and after that waiting for it to come on the mail, they said it would take between 4 to 6 weeks. It took 4, so yes, overall give it like a month and a half or two months.

Congratulations! Have fun....12 days will go by fast.
It took just over 4 weeks to receive my US passport....its always a good idea to have them print extra passport size photos. Usually only costs $10-$15 but if your SO will be filing any immigration paperwork in the future....extra photos (preferably blue background) will come in handy.
