Contacting the London embassy to see if it's arrived?

[Cherieish 0]

I wanted to call the London embassy to see if our case has arrived in the post yet. The NVC gave me our case number and the number to the embassy. When I called the embassy, she told me it was the wrong place to call and gave me the number to some call center (1-866-382-3589). They want to charge me $16 just to ask if it's arrived yet! No thanks! Is there another way to see if they've got it without paying this ridiculous fee?

Don't call and wait like we did till you hear from them with packet 3 approx 2-3 weeks. Not sure how it works in UK

It takes 4 days to get there. They may not have opened the mail and logged it so you're kinda wasting money to find out nothing. Start your forms, get your photos taken, order police certificate, get your shots from GP, schedule the medical.....

London's P3 is this webpage http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

And this http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.htmlhttp://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

And start reading the UK forum

Hi, I just now saw these posts. I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. My fiance says that you only need a signature on the police report but not the photos. He also says that the size of the pictures do not matter. They take both, so he could use the one at the consulate, but I would think it would be better to do it before time.

I am more concerned for you affadavit of support. It sounds like you have enough money, but just... They are more likely to turn you away due to this than anything. You may ask your mom to co-sign just to be on the safe side. For everything I see they want you to make $19,000 a year. I didn't read that,but Gary, my fiance did. As far as getting an answer without paying... you are out of luck. They charge and they charge well over there in London at our embassy. Sorry. What date is your interview? Ours is on August 4. I wish you so much luck. This is a long and scary process.

Sincerely,

Lezlee

I make a hair under $25,000 a year and our family size is 3. Too late to cosign. A has a lot of money in savings, so hopefully if things are doubtful he can show that we have assets.

Interview isn't scheduled yet, he had his medical on the 15th. Good luck to you too!!
