How to bring USC spouse to interview in London

[Zeffe 2]

Hi everyone,

We finally got an interview date! Hubby will be at the Embassy in London this Thursday the 14th

Does anyone know how/if he can get me onto the Embassy list so I can accompany him to the interview (or at least get into the building)? The appointment letter said to contact the Embassy -- we tried that by email but got an autoresponse back saying the message would be deleted without being read.

Thanks for any advice!

You have to call the line that charges you per minute and request they give you an email code to get an answer. However, you might not get a response in time for your name to be entered on the appointment list since its two days away. Sometime it takes a week to hear back.

You might try what I did with no prior permission---when we got to the front of the line outside, I handed my opened US passport to the man with the clipboard and said "I'm a US citizen. May I accompany my fiancé inside for his visa interview?". He said yes. If you dont get in, there is a coffee shop nearby or shops on Oxford Street. Go shop a couple of hours then celebrate the approval together and enjoy London together.

I'll flash my US passport and try the just-show-up approach. I'll also bring a copy of the email my husband sent requesting that I be added to the Embassy list on the day of his interview.

Fingers crossed all goes well! Will post an update here and in the Embassy reviews section after the dust settles. Right now, need to go make more photocopies ;-)

We sent a letter to the address on the interview letter we received. Not sure if this will suffice.
