Whew!

Passport

I can finally relax and make plans for our trip to California, because
I can finally go! The UK Border Agency has just returned my passport,
along with Jamie's passport, our marriage certificate, my citizenship
test pass notice, and indefinite leave to remain in the UK for
purposes of settlement. I am almost British!

This is very comforting, as I've been without photo ID since
mid-February. We've been making contingency plans in case we were
undocumented at flight time: Jamie even applied for a second passport!

For internet search purposes, the elapsed time for UKBA immigration
applications submitted by a US national in February 2012 was 14 weeks.
The expected period, by way of Jamie's research, is 16.

So, in conclusion, yay!
