Wow, it has been a true test of patience for our family during our SMC application process and we have finally received our AIP today from our super nice CO. Everything took longer than we anticipated but during its entire year long process the staff at London office always answered our questions and concerns with upmost respect and kindness.
I really want to thank many contributors to many threads on this site, especially to Karen and JandM -- true angels -- and you have provided so much helps and we really appreciate your invaluable insights. Thank you!
Cheers!
