    Holy crap. I got the 'visa issued' email yesterday (would have posted straight away but was too busy drinking champagne)! I am so excited, and so incredibly thankful to all of you for your help - especially @EmilyW and @Britsimon - I would have driven myself crazy without you, but you let me...

    Hi all, There's no way to check visa status other than CEAC, right? And CEAC isn't showing DV2016? (Yes, I am incredibly impatient.)

    AP... Apparently the panel physician didn't tick a box that she was supposed to, so we have to wait while they go back to her. Gah!

    Ha ha, oh no! I didn't mean to stress you out. I don't think there's anything to worry about either, but you know... human nature, freak outs etc ;) Hopefully it's good news all round on Tuesday!
