Oh - don't forget to PM me the questions you get asked and any answers you gave!!!! I'll add them to my list!!

Is there anywhere that possible questions at interview are all in one place? I don't know whether you've posted this somewhere or whether it's just a list you've put together for your own piece of mind but it might be a good idea to have them as a guide somewhere on the UK forums. That's if you don't mind. :)

edit: Peace not piece!

Sorry if its been asked before but I have a question.

At the US embassy in London/ medical do I need the following monies ?

£14 for courier

$131 dollars application fee- i realise I can use a credit card but if I use cash does it have to be dollars ?

£180 for the medical.

Is this all the money I need and also another question

You know the geographic info for the G-325A at the bottom of the form it says put the your name in the bold box.

I haven't done that, or was my petitioner suppose to ? I realise we already sent them off and they were forwarded to London without problem, I'm just wondering.

I am getting so nervous :help: yikes!!

lol thanks for any help

Sorry I can't answer your questions because I'm not that far ahead but I do want to wish you the best of luck. From your timeline it looks like you've had a tough old time to date. Hope all goes very smoothly for you!

You need $131 for the visa and at least £14 for the courier, if you want to specify a particular delivery time it will cost more.

You don't pay for the medical at your interview you pay for that at the doctor's office and mine cost £200.

Don't worry about the G325A, you would have got an RFE for that if it had mattered.

Good luck. :thumbs:

Also Shadow...don't worry about finding your way...I come from the middle of nowhere in scotland and I found it easy enough to navigate. If you can read maps you will have no problem. Head to bond street uderground and everything is 5 mins from there walking and SO SO easy!

Awesome news thankyou, yeah I was told £180 on the phone, dunno why. Im staying in the Dover hotel because there was no room in the Marble Arch one. Hope its okay.

I was trying to read the map and figured Bond street was the place to be to get to both. Went and got my train tickets to London tonight and had to have the lady explain which tickets were tickets and which were just seat allocations lol. :whistle:

Hope things go okay, fingers crossed. thankyou for all the information it all helps, believe me thankyou :thumbs:
