The Reason It Takes Forever To Get A Visa!

So,  on Saturday I received a large envelope in the mail from the British Consulate regarding my Visa!  I was extremely excited, until I opened it.  Inside was my application that I sent about 2 weeks ago.  I was very confused, and continued to read the attached letter.  Apparently my application was incomplete.  I had not included one of those little Walgreens passport sized photos that make you look like a yeti.  I kept reading.  PASSPORT REQUIRED!  I had to actually mail in my physical passport!  

After freaking out a little, I looked up the hours to the Fedex Kinkos that is right up the street from UCF and realized they are open 24 hours a day.  I got in the car and drove over there.  Paid for overnight shipping and was told it will arrive Tuesday morning, which is the deadline! Talk about good timing!  Although it was stressful, at least i will sleep tonight knowing that my application is OFFICIALLY on its way to being processed!

I will let you know when it has been received!    xoxo
