No news on piqqulet, bunsk or sad eyes?

I haven't heard a thing. I feel most worried about bunsk as its so unlike her to not update us after being so active here for so long. piqqulet hardly ever posted and AP for Sad Eyes can be so unpredictable, so who knows??

bunsk hasn't logged in since the day before her interview so it is possible she got approved then went on a mad rush of packing and moving asap

I really hope so Aly! I hate when people never return to let us know how things went at the embassy!

STILL ON AP Its probably gonna be lengthy one too...my SO is of pakistani descent, male, and has a common name so uh he probably be stuck for sometime... Once again he did pass his interview and visa is approved pending his namecheck/fingerprints clear.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope it doesn't take too long *hugs*

Ahh - Babbles!! I need to know your POE!!

Good luck, Babbles!!! Hope you have a smooth trip!!!

What a bummer! We're all rooting for you. Keep us posted on your progress and feel free to vent here any time! *hugs*

Good luck to Gareth's Girl today!! I am sure there are others I missed but it stood out when I was updating the July spreadsheet

According to my list, gareth's girl interviewed last month and was approved! I'm showing the next interview for a VJer is on 1 April - Geordie Lover.

Really?!

*checks dates*



Yeah - I think maybe I am still stuck in February...

Ah well - the thread needed a bump

ok - just about to send my packet 3 stuff, just wanted to ask a quick question -
I sign the DS-230 part 1 right? and I don't send part 2, cos I'm looking through the info in my packet3, and I can't find where it says not to sign it.

help appreciated

Does anyone know if they are still averaging 6+ weeks in getting an interview set up? I've been going down the timelines but its not been easy trying to get an average. I know Kris is going to send his packet3 back the day after he gets it and we have everything else prepared just no clue how long it will be between packet 3 to packet 4 and the interview date. I know he 'should' get his packet 3 by mon/tues of next week though.

That would be really handy to know actually... I sent my packet 3 off and I am really hoping for a quick and painless death interview/medical!!

We sent our packet 3 back a couple of weeks ago and haven't gotten anything back yet...

mine took a month through London

A MONTH?!?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh that will drive me nuts... I really want to get in there before I need a new police certificate

sowwy

well, but when I DID get Packet 4, I had something like five days before my interview; when they moved, they moved fast

Well I want my packet 4 this week and I want my interview next week or the week after I wonder who I should bribe...

Then on the other hand I got my packet 4 early this month for an interview April 30th. So it would seem interviews are now going into May.

They seem to schedule interviews based on anticipated travel dates listed on the check list. I suspect we'll see the April calendar fill up a bit more.

I hope I get an April one even though I am travelling in June... I am sick of hanging around now...

Got the visa delivered to me this morning. Even though I was told I would personally have to sign for it as well as provide some form of identification, my mother signed for it and that was that.

Included are all the forms and paperwork that the Embassy kept hold of. Also the medical paperwork as well as the psychiatric report.

I'm hazy on the procedure of entering the states. What line do I join in customs? Foreign or citizen? Am I a 'non immigrant' or 'immigrant'? That still confuses me as some of the forms I had to complete say 'non immigrant' on them

I'm aware that I have to take the envelope given to me at the interview on to the plane with me, but I'm not sure if the same applies to the paperwork they just returned to me today (including psychiatric report). I'd rather avoid a lot of questioning on this psychiatric report if possible, but I guess I will take that stuff on the carry on luggage should they ask for it.

You only need to hand in the unopened envelope to immigrations.

My fiance (at the time) went through the foreign citizens line, which is what you should do too!

I know that feeling all too well. No matter what Kris can't get here till June 5th at the earliest but we would love to get everything over and done with so we can just concentrate on getting things together for his move

Have we not had any interview dates recently? London seems to have dried up... they could at least squeeze me in!!!!

i have got the visa delivered to me yesterday morningv half past 6.00 i onlay paid the £14.00 and they told me visa will be there between 8 and 5pm but it was early thank god i have got it i had my interview on 6th of march 9 am but i got mt visa on 28 so 3 weeks for fingerprints and name checking . thanks for VJ and everybody this is really great place to share information and knowledge. carry on and gud luck for those still waiting for any answer

Just a question.. Once they receive the packet 3 back... what do they do with it before sending the packet 4 out?? I can't see to find anything on this and am just curious lol

Prolly sit on it and fart...



Sorry - I just don't know - it prolly sits in a box much like the I-129f packet

Oooh congrats to the 2008 interviewees! Sure hope we will be added to this list sometime late spring early summer!!! We got fingers crossed hard he will be all approved by July!!! I know wishful thinking but hey Igor says it is possible

Dear VJ

I never knew you allowed such filth to be posted on your site. Every fine-thinking person knows full well the efficiency of USCIS workers, and to read such claptrap posted about them offends my delicate sensibilities. I am a long-time reader and contributor, but I feel moved to tell you I am cancelling my subscription forthwith.

Yours

(*I mean, New Haven)

it says so many times not to buy a plane ticket. but I seem to think that having a travel date gets you a quicker interview date. is this true? and do they frown on already bought plane tickets? We just got packet 3 and are sending it back tomorrow an am debating weather or not to put a anticipated travel date in.

Just because you tell them you have an anticpated travel date doesn't mean you have to have actually purchased plane tickets. Its just the date you anticipate to travel.

thank you. that clear things up.

better than any comment I could make

hmmm... fascinating

Well I am hoping to book mine this week - it's not until the 30th June so I feel pretty safe although who knows what will happen - I put that down as my intended date of travel as well









I guess it really is true that "actions" speak louder than words

I am sincerely puzzled by the post to which you refer. It just goes to show you that quoting can be a dangerous thing!! Its like, welcome to 3 months ago....

Have we actually *had* any London interview dates recently!? I'm wondering if they decided to take an extended vacation over Easter...

I second that emotion.

OOOH MAVEN!! I have that stupid song stuck in my head now...

We have one tomorrow!!

Yay! Just seems ages since anyone came in and said "GUESS WHAT?! I GOT AN INTERVIEW DATE!!"

definitely its been ages since a new date has been added. I hope thit since the Easter hols are now behind us that updates will be flooding in! Including yours, Aly!

Defo - I am so ready to get it over and done with and put behind me now!!!

If you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion...


...over to you, Aly, for the rest!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second that emotion!

Now, SERIOUSLY, ladies, enough with the clever remarks.
