*phew*

Okay, so, after a few harrowing days (especially the last few with them saying they didn't have the bank letter when it was delivered last Thursday!), all vital forms for the CoE are in. So, now, just have to wait for the CoE to come, then can go down and apply for visa in person at Chicago consulate (this will be shorter than mailing it in), which won't be until August.

Have drunk a bit of boozeahol to celebrate this. WHEE!
