Has anyone who sent packet 3 back in October had an interview date yet? I sent my back Oct 12 and looking at Time Line histories it seems to take between 6 -8 weeks from sending it off it the interview date.

My dilemma is that I would like to fly to the USA 2nd Jan. I am going to rent my house out and I need a month I think to sort the house to look it's best for renters, pack my stuff to have it shipped, catch up with people, plan my wedding and also Xmas falls in the middle.

Therefore I need to finish work on 2nd December and I have to give a months notice, which means I need to resign this Friday.

I'm just paranoid that I resign and then my interview doesn't come through until January, which means can't leave 2nd January so I could have worked longer and saved some more money.

What does everyone think. If I take the risk and resign do you all think my interview will be before January?

Opinions greatly appreciated.

Also my Wedding is planned for Vegas 17 Jan 2007. Deposit has been put down but the date can be moved if needed. A lot of my family and friends have surprised me by saying that they would like to attend. I've told everyone not to book anything until I know when my interview date is. Do you think once I know when it is, it would be safe for them to book their flights?

I know it all depends on me passing the interview, but I really can't see any reason why I won't. Had my Medical yesterday which was fine - At the new Medical place on Bentinck Street. First day they opened. Also just to let everyone going through London know. The blood it tested for HIV and Syphilis only. Nothing else at all is tested for.

Drugs, other diseases etc they just rely on you being honest on the questionnaire as they can't ask for your Doctors records either. Very chatty Doctor I had. I'm not sure he should have told me all of that but might make some of you feel better about the Medical.

As you know nothing is a sure thing when it comes to this process. Your time frame to leave seems reasonable, just keep in mind holidays are coming up which will possibly add a delay to the process.Wishing you the best!

When you returned Packet 3, did you state your anticipated travel date and wedding date on the appropriate lines on the checklist?

Yes I included those. I have only seen one person going through London with a November interview date so far though

i sent my packet 3 in on oct 4th and im still waiting for packet 4
