2010 United Kingdom Interview Thread

[thatbritishlass 2]

Well i certainly missed the chat, did anyone gleam anything from it?

To put it bluntly...####### all. I asked my question 3 times and noone answered it, whilst several people had multiple questions answered!!

If that's the level of service I can expect from the embassy I'm gonna be waiting a long time, lol

[Closed account 1]

so quick question, i know its most prob been covered 100 times before but i am a little confused...when completing packet 3 what forms do we sign before sending it back to the embassy and what forms do we leave, I know the ds-230 and the ds156k have a don't sign below part so am ok with them but what about the DS-156 do we or do we not sign that one??

thanks for your help

We just got back from our trip to London. We were approved and now all we've got to do is pick a moving day (and a shipping company, and get rid of the rest of our stuff, lol). Will be back later with a full write up. You all were right, when it's over I really did go "that's it?" As we walked away from the window both kids said "now what?" and we told them, we're done, we just have to move

Thanks so much to everyone here. What a weight off my shoulders!

Yay, well done Hokie.

Nothing to do with visas or moving but I just published my gymnastics club's new website. Very pleased with myself, it's only been 4 weeks in the making, lol.

[Hokie97 5]

Thanks Y&E. Congrats on finishing your website.

I just posted my review on my timeline: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=70063

Congratulations Hokie97! That's great news, I was thinking about you yesterday, and eagerly checked in this afternoon to see if there was any news from you or londonhornet. Thanks for the thorough review-- I'm happy that everything went smoothly. Will you please post it over in the UK DCF Thread, to help some of the other London DCFers? Also, would you mind updating your timeline again when you actually get the passports back in hand, as that's very helpful information for those of us who want to move ASAP after the interview.

Yay! Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks. I feel this huge weight off my shoulders right now. Now I can focus on all the other stuff we have to get done prior to the move.

I just posted it over on the other thread. Thanks for reminding me. I will update again when I get the passports back. They said we should expect them in less than a week.

Oh horray! So pleased for you. I'm surprised the order they did things in was so different than ours!

We got my husbands visa back 3 business days after the interview.

As i understand it, you sign everything except the one that says, don't complete this, it will be done with a consular officer.

- I don't think i signed anything.

My long review is up now.

[Hokie97 5]

Congratulations Vanessa! I just read your review. It's good you could go out and get the extra $$ you needed without having to wait again.

Had my medical yesterday. It went well, but just a head's up for anyone yet to have theirs - if your MMR innoculation record doesn't show 2 separate dates (mine didn't because I had them done in different cities and the doctor just wrote the 1st one down with the same date as the 2nd one) then go and have a immunity test done. Apparently you have to have 2 before the age of 18 or 1 before and 1 after. Even though I've had 2 separate vacs because it didn't list 2 different dates they couldn't list it on the worksheet as being done. Really ####### since the letter from the doctor showed the vaccinations and ages at which I had them done. Doesn't make a difference over here because I didn't have to have it before entering the US for K1 but I need it for AOS so I'm going to get the immunity test. They are unbeliveably ####### really.

But other than that it was okay. The staff were really nice and I was out within 40 minutes. I had an appointment at 3.30 and there were only 2 other people there when I arrived and no one when I left so that may be the last appointment of the day. If you don't want to wait around I'd say the later you can get your appointment the better. The surgery was really easy to find - their map is good and it's easy enough to get around on the tube.

Lucky you! Our appointment was at 1:10 and we were there for over three hours

Which one did you go to? We found it very difficult to find the Bentick Mansions one based on their map.
