    Oh Mina, this video made me smile all through and also got me emotional. My eyes welled up cos I could tell there was a 'long journey' before this success. Can't wait to hear it all. Your joy was real. I felt it.
    And yes, the joy of every travel lover is going visa hassle-free. Oh, the pain of visa issues!🤦🏽‍♀️🥺. Spotted that "our outfit"😅; very befitting for this occasion. So happppy for you, my love. God be praised.

    Am happy for you because I have been waiting to get to the end of this road for 21 years. OMG the process is ridiculously expensive and slow. My case wasnt straightforward but I can now finally say i will be attending my ceremony next month.
    It's not over until it is over. When God is in the vessel i can smile at the storms. Sometimes I cried and sometimes I laugh when I had my visa extended in order for me to continue working.
    Gone were the days when the employer will called you in office and asking about our visa from the home office. OMG, i have tears and profound sadness in my heart . The stress kicked in because i have bills to pay and my parents to look after, some I have sleepless nights.
    The constant living in fear that my life be thrown upside down, also the solicitors fee. The nights that I would be up wondering when I will get a reply from home office. This is a complete torture for any human being but God is the one that see me through it all. It's a lovely feeling to be free from the hands of immigration.

      Oh wow 21. years?! wow ! It does sound like it's been quite a journey .. you definitely got dealt a bad hand but God won ..you overcame ! . I am so happy for you too ... I wish you all the best .x

      @@EsentiaXperience Even though it took me this long but there are so many things and blessings that I accomplished along the way. I am so bless that I am now semi retired. Who else could it be but God ?
      My journey is a bittersweet because when I look back at all the stress and heartache, God was still making a way for me even when I have doubts. I was never out of a job over the years but i always get stressed out when the HO doesn't reply or took months to reply. I happy to say that I dont have to worry too much after having my citizenship because I have achieved a lot far more than some people who were born and bred here.

      Hiya .. I live in Edinburgh , Scotland . I got my letter in March but the lock down started first lockdown started a week after . I got invited for online ceremony in May but i declined cos i wanted in person . Got invited again for in person in June the rules were too strict ... like you have to wear max , no photos, no family or friend allowed etc , so i declined again . i got tired of waiting for covid to be over so i emailed and requested the virtual one again ..and chose a date in sept .
