Interview Information

[Nich-Nick 3,353]

This is what I never understand - they tell you not to make any formal dates or plans to travel till you hear the yes or no regarding the visa, so then they want a wedding date. So your advised i take it in the cover sheet to suggest a month your hoping to get married in?

Yeah that's kinda the plan. I padded my date by a month. Obviously if you put a date two weeks from when you mailed your readiness form in, they wouldn't necessarily be able to accomodate you. But given October and February dates, they would tend to serve the October people first.

Hey everyone.....I had my medical last Monday and everything was signed off ok on the Thursday and couried to the embassy in London. All of my paperwork was sent off 3wks ago. I have not heard from the embassy yet and just wondered on average how long it took for your interview to be scheduled?? Do I have to do anything like call the embassy or do I just sit tight and hope to hear off them soon....

I have also been reviewing interview questions and information. If anyone has any advice for my interview it would be much appreciated,the more prepared I am the better!!!! Should I take lots of photos with me or just some meaningful ones to us and would it look good if I took the ones of us all together with my parents and his??

Thankyou,hope everyone is having a good day xx

I sent off my packet 3 on 25TH JUNE and had my medical on 5TH JUNE and stated an unofficial wedding date of 26TH AUGUST 2011 on my cover letter and I am still waiting for an interview date from London, seems like London has hit a speed bump at the moment .

Here's what it says goes with the DS2001 readiness form:

When you have obtained all of the required documents and are prepared for the visa interview, you are required to complete the Notification of Applicant(s) Readiness, Form 2001 and mail it to the Immigrant Visa Unit together

with a covering letter containing your email address, if applicable, date of your wedding and date of the medical examination

.

Anyway if you said October, they may figure you dont need an interview until a month before. If you had said next January was the date, I was going to say they will put you off for sooner wedding dates and that could be a reason they may not schedule right away. But with an October date...well that's soon. I think it will be scheduled shortly. Call DOS in the US and ask if it's scheduled. A few people never got the letters and found out the appt date from DOS.

Good luck. Hard to wait when you get sooooo close.

The information on that women's experience at the interview was so helpful, I'm so surprised they don't check everything like crazy!! I've been trying to do the same like gather so much,emails,cards, dating photos.... I might get a few things just in case but not panic myself like I was!!

I called the embassy on the stupidly expensive line and spoke to a nice Scottish man who said that it had been received and not to worry it was still processing and would probably take a couple of wks administration. I'm going to try and be patient (which is easier said than done,haha.)

A last minute question when did you call and pay the MRV interview fee of $350.....should I do it now or wait till I have a date and do it?? I really appreciate your help
