I thought I would just give a wee update, I got my approval late last year but I had to spend my saved €950 on a family member who was in need and figured I would get Christmas out the way and then save up in the new year, unfortunately with Covid I lost my job and it's taken me a whole lot longer to raise the money than I ever thought it would. Good news tho, I've sent in my bank draft and photos last week so just waiting on virtual ceremony/in person ceremony date.
