Ok I am so nervous - firstly my medical is tomorrow 6 june at 2.30pm - I think I know where I am supposed to go - the MAP B Bentinck Street address:) Luckily I will be staying at the Marble Arch Inn which isnt too far away from this. I think I have everything for that:

- 1 passport pic,
- my questionnaire and £200.
- my letter from my GP about my health history (this is where I am worried as I have anxiety, mild depression, panik attacks and a history of 2 anurisms which my doc has written in the letter is all cleared up after treatment many years ago ),
- my list of vacinations I had done - hell I even have a letter of my smear test lol

Then I have my interview at 10am on 7th JUne - again the embassy isnt a very long walk away I hope lol - well it looks pretty near on the map lol. I understand I should be there outside at 9.30am and wait! All the waiting is stressing me off as I am not a patient person lol I hope I have everything:

- davids affidavit of support,
- his intent letter,
- his letter from employer,
- his tax returns for the last 4 years,
- his bank details with average income com,ing in and present balance (which really isnt much at the moment too many bills being paid)
- his and my birth certificates,
- I have 2 passport pics (I LOOK AWFUL IN EM)
- My contract with my estate agents saying I have my house on sale with them for £132,000,
- my previous marriage and divorce certificates,
- Police record - well unfortuantely that hasnt arrived yet - I have one I had done last year but it has expired - I was gonna show them that as I have no record at all - I am such a good girl lol and tell them I will mail the new one when it arrives hopefully next week.
- 2 small photo albums of pics of us and his family in all the visits I made to him,
- A printout of my onetel phone bill for the last month as we have spoken alot on the phone lately - previously we always talked on voice in yahoo or other voice module so there is no way to record any of this for proof. He isnt much of a writer so doesnt email much and besides we talked every single day lol
- Copy of the whole petition.

Ok am I missing anything else?

I dont know why but i feel like I am gonna be interogated and I hate situations like that as I look guilty as hell lol and an answer to one of the questions I hear they may ask is "have you met his family and has he met my family?" well yes I have met all of his family and they treat me like I am already a very close member of their family and love me to bits - buit he hasnt met my family yet but will do when i am ready to move there he is coming here to meet family and to pick me up. (unfortunately my family dont approve - but hell I am 39 I decide who I want to be with for the rest of my life, they dont undertsand all I want is their blessings, coming from an Indian family we normally have the extended family background so my culture expects me to respect my elders which I do - but being the youngest of the whole family they are worreied for me but I only wish they would stop critiscising and just accept it!)

Ok enough blabbering - im nervous and I do that when nervous - my female friend is coming to my place tonight and we will both go to london on the train tomorrow, so any hints, message etc will be appreciated before I go:)

Thanking all in advance - please pray for me that it goes smoothly:)

You sound like you have everything (except the updated police certificate) so relax! As someone who lived in Upper Berkeley Street, I can assure you it is under 10 minutes from the Marble Arch Inn to the Embassy. Weather is supposed to be stonking this week so wear sunblock! (hee hee, being a bit bossy! ) I totally understand that "looking guilty" worry -- I always second guess myself and wonder if I did do something wrong and then forgot about it...

Now go out there and bring us, um, I mean YOURSELF, back a visa!

They don't tend to ask for much relationship evidence at the London Embassy but I noted that you are only taking a phone bill with you. For my own peace of mind I'd take some other items, just in case.

Photocopy your birth certificate, otherwise they will retain your original. The fact you don't have a Police Cert will hold up your visa being sent out. They won't do this until they have received it, so you are probably looking at an additional two weeks wait after the PC is sent to them. As long as you are aware of this, that's okay.

Apart from that, you look all set. Good luck!

Edit: You'll need your passport at the medical too, don't forget that!

Thank you for your kind uplifiting positive words lol - Im more nervous mainly as I suffer from agrophocia too and well i get panicky when away from home but luckioly my friend is coming and i told her to bring lots of pics of her family and her new doggy etc so we can see them on the trian journey - If I have somone to distract me then I am ok - but then again we havent been intouch for a long time so we have alot of girly stuff to catch up on. Plus I dont like London at the best of times - luckily she used to travel alot in central london so she knows how the tubes work so that is another bonus lol:)

Thank you again:)

Lina, best of luck! It will all work out just fine, and as I stated on our other group when it is over and done with you are left wondering wtf!

Good luck and best wishes at both the medical exam and the interview.

I know its hard to relax, but try!! I am certain you will do fine for both your medical and interview! Good luck!!!

Good Luck, I am sure you are worrying for nothing.

Good luck! I will look out for you at the interview.

I am nervous as hell too...

Good luck Lina! You'll do fine.

You've gotten good advice, you'll do great. Good luck on both appointments & best wishes for the rest of your journey!

Thank you all very much, well its 11.30pm here now and im talking to david online in voice and I cant even sleep - i know at the end of it all ill think to myself what the hell did I worry about - but we shall see. Thank you all for your best wishes.

Kins!! I sure will look for you! U may be able to recognise me - I am indian and I will be wearing my michiogam basball cap or atleast carrying it with a yellow plastic folder!

good luck to you too

Lina

Good luck! Let us know how you get on!!

Good luck! I'm sure it'll go fine!!

Do NOT worry about anxiety and panic attacks being on your medical. I have anxiety too and that was put on my medical. The only problem I ran into with that was at the POE in Chicago when I submitted everything to the IO. He made me wait on the side and called someone from the CDC. I was soooo scared! However, the CDC lady thought he was crazy so they let me go. Don't worry about it. Just be prepared that they MIGHT ask you about it at the POE but it is still no big deal. Once you are approved, you are approved.

Good luck and best wishes

Good luck!
