A new record!

My mother sent me nineteen emails this morning. A new record!

The reason for the sudden burst of activity is that the US Embassy have finally broken free of the Vogon-like standards of efficiency that they've displayed so far and sent me the visa forms. My medical appointment is now booked for Monday, and it looks like I'm going to easily be able to get a fiancee visa in time for the end of July, unless there are any huge disasters.
