Congrats to those who have had interviews and to those that have moved.

Am still sorting my paperwork (bleh) and have a formal apology from the HPA.gov over the mess they made with my bloodtest <-- thats Just one of many things that could go wrong that have done ( lol )

Well I decided that i was gonna be stubborn and try and see the process through to the end - cause i am hopeless at starting something and not being able to finish it - guess i am like a dog with a bone now which is kinda ironic as i am now stuck waiting as they have my passport and information and seem to have gone on holiday for 2 weeks from lookin at the interview dates in August.

Anyways Hello and congrats people

Offline till wednesday Bus to london sunday interview Monday 0900 see you all later

Good luck!!

Best wishes to everyone who has something coming up within the next few weeks. It is a very exciting (but hectic) time. It is nice to have VJ.

Good luck to everyone that has an interview/flight/move coming up and Welcome to the US to everyone that's recently gotten here!

Hi all,

Just to let you all know that I got married on Friday .......Getting ready to start with AOS paperwork on Monday

I will upload a couple of wedding pictures later.

Here's hoping you've been approved by now!

APPROVED just the medical in the morning

t was very much, much ado about nothing. Got in about 0830 was seen the first time about 1000, then seen at about 1210 she was very professional in the interview asked the usual questions and that was it. paid the curiers and off i popped

Two interesting things happened, one guy started screaming because he got refused again everyne just watched with morbid fascinatin as he was escorted away and a car that i kept seeing on the trip to london had RFE on the number plate

Congrats! Have fun planning your move!

Congrats and good luck with the medical today

Good Luck with your interview this week Rach

Congrats!
Stu and I were married on Friday too! I think it must have been a popular day to get married At least it'll be easy to remember our anniversaries!


Congrats to you too Red Baron and Good luck to everyone that has an interview this week

Good work Baron! Best wishes for your medical!

Barry and I got married on Friday too! 08-08-08-...a popular day indeed! Congrats everyone!!!

Yay, congrats Baron. I wish I'd seen something so entertaining to keep my mind off my own interview!

Thanks Sally!

Congratulations Baron! And to everyone who was married on the 8th - if I'd been able to, I'd have done the same!

Hi all.

He got his interview date for September 15!

It makes me kinda sad though, because I am jetting off to see him the week before that. I can't even change my ticket, because of the Monday the interview lands on. The 13-14th weekend is when I have to work (mandatory). :/ Sucks. Oh well. I will hand the papers over to him, pat him on the butt & wish him the best of luck!

What a shame you'll miss him by just a week! He'll be fine, though.

Congratulations on getting an interview date at last!

Thanks

I am getting really nervous now though. my income is right under the requirement (22,000) ... my friend finally agreed to do it since her last year return came in at 25,000...but she's working less this year at one of her jobs so I dont know if they will actually calculate & find that out or what

She's the only one willing to help (everyone from family either couldn't or didn't want to help).


My friend has already brought to my attention all these white hairs I've been sprouting on my head lately...think it's going to get worse. :S

I've seen the answer somewhere but -- what is he NOT allowed to take to the interview? No phone, no watch, no what else? Does he have to PAY to put those things into security?

Thanks, he's wondering.

Anything electronic. that includes usb thumb drives. you have to go to the pharmacy across the street & pay them £10 to hold your stuff

Thank you SO much! Knowing him, he'll hate to pay anything to store things. But he'll have to have at least his watch and phone with him. I'll pass your information along and again, knowing him, he'll try to figure out a way to avoid this.

no problem! I think keys aren't allowed either. So I am guessing all you're only allowed to bring in your papers!

Does airport passport control really care about what sort of airline ticket a K1 holder has? We were looking up tickets to see their prices & one-way cost $1500, while a round trip uis only $818! We're going to get a round trip ticket then! But, I want to be sure they won't give him poo for it when he's at the airport...

No! A round trip ticket is absolutely fine. They understand it's cheaper and many people do book them.

thanks for letting me know! as silly as the question sounded, we're trying to cover all bases & possibilities.

Its keys that have electronics in them like central locking fobs alarm fobs things like that no electronics. :S

ahh ok, that's what I wasn't sure about...thought they were picky & just didnt allow ANY keys! my fiance only has his flat key on his keychain, watch out!

Who has September interviews? Any October ones scheduled yet?

Boohbah's fiancé's interview is on the 15th September. Haven't seen anyone post any October dates yet!

I am September 5th, seems London has quite alot of September slots.

My Folder of 'stuff' has grown and grown, I have tonnes of evidence and required forms like police certificate etc;. I think it may be overkill so I put in tabs so if they asked for anything I would have it!. I would rather over prepare than get there and be missing something silly.

Good luck with your interview, I had a big folder also and they only asked for 3 Docs, I think the folder scared them lol.

LOL yeah I think Gareth will go with quite a large folder as well as like you all said better to be over prepared then missing one little thing that could hold it all up even longer! We have waited long enough!!!

Good to know I am not the only one, I was starting to feel like an eejit!

Since they go threw alot of cases per day hopefully they will ask for the required forms, and think "her folder is so big lets not chance having to sit and watch her show us everything in it, approve her" I can hope!

We both were allowed to wear our watches inside the embassy. Nick had to put his in a plastic bag with his belt and everything else in his pockets (wallet, coins) to ride through the x-ray machine. She told me I could just stick mine inside my handbag to go through the machine.

So whats the odds of them asking for bank statements? My co-sponsor kept putting it off until this past Saturday & they have to "request" them & it's going to take a week. I go to see my fiance on Friday to give him all his papers & spend one last time in England (it'll be a long while before we go back!).

I'm super paranoid about it. She managed to gather everything else though (pay stubs, bank letter, employment letters, w2, transcripts). Need I say, she did drag her feet until I told her (last week) about my upcoming trip ! Sheesh!

I reckon you will be fine, we are using everything you mentioned for ours to and you have more than enough.

I have a possibly silly question, they accept GBP at the Embassy right? for the Visa?, I have had trouble spending notes that say Bank of Scotland on them in England and Vice Versa, am I better off going to the travel agent and getting dollars? if so how much do I need?

Yes they accept GBP at the embassy. You shouldn't have problems spending Scottish notes in England! Its legal tender. I know how it is though, I had a few places not wanting to take my money in London. The same people would expect to be able to use the bank of England notes north of the border though...

Andy and I would like to add our date. Our interview is Sept 12th. Fingers crossed it all goes well.

Thanks,
LisaJo

The Embassy just rang me....they have given me an emergency appt for the Tuesday 9th sept The day before the removal people come for all our things ... phew, what a relief

Great news!!! Congratulations and good luck!!!!

Nicoxcx - if you want to play save you should be able to walk into any High Street bank and simply exchange Bank of Scotland notes for Bank of England, especially if you bank with them. There's a Lloyds TSB two minutes from Bond Street tube on Oxford Street.

Thanks for the info Paul, someone else told me the same thing.

Strange thing is I noticed all my fivers say Bank of England but the 20 pound notes say Bank of Scotland and/or Clydesdale! anyway time for me to leave !

Good luck!

Thankyou, Just got back today and I was Approved! Woohoo!. took 3 hours mind you, and most of that was waiting in line, the interview was pretty much a doddle the lady I got was very nice and having a laugh with me, trying to catch me out but asking me the same question about a date or year later on in the conversation. She said its approved pending Medical results and said to me if I am as healthy as she thinks I am I will be absolutely fine .

Congrats wont be long for you now

Hi there! how much is it actually for the K 1 visa? is it 400$ or 131$? many thanks

For the K1 it is $131

Who has the updated interview list? There must be alot of us on it now.

Good luck to all of us, especially our loved ones who are bricking it over this interview!

I don't think it gets posted anymore. It's been a couple of months at least since I saw the list.
Good luck on your interview. Glad you got it all sorted out...the missing I-130 file and all.
