I would like a spread to help a friend

divinest

A very good friend of mine is currently waiting for a visa to go through so her husband can move away from Merry Ole England, and join her over the pond in America. However, it's taking ages, and she is often left waiting for a long time for any information, and for the next stage to go through. She's without him again this christmas, and it breaks my heart talking to her on MSN, because I know how desperate she is to just be with him, and how much she misses him.

Can anybody recommend a tarot spread which I can do to find out how much longer she has to wait, or even a spread that I can use to help make her feel happier and more optimistic about the wait, and the whole situation.

I know it's not much, but it's all I can do for her, specially seeing as I'm England way myself, so I can't even cheer her up in person.
