KAYLARA CONGRATULATIONS!

[Lakehouse 293]

Sorry to hear that Lakehouse. Since it's the Consulate that is requesting this document, not NVC, then it seems they really mean it. If it were me and I'm sure I couldn't have it by interview date, then I would rather ask for an interview postponement than risk a pending AP that I would have no control on or even ability to status-check. Being put on a back burner is not a nice feeling as we all very well know.

Take a deep breath and weigh your risks and tolerances before deciding.

Just an update, I contacted that link the Consulate email provided, via phone. He stated that since I'm not from Quebec, I need to go to my Provincial Govt / Alberta Vital Statistics instead. So I have simply visited an Alberta Registry and applied for the certificate... and paid for 'Rush service' to ensure it's available within about a week.

No more worries, at least for now! ​

and Congratulations to you!!!!!!!!

below is our story from this morning at the interview! hope it makes sense!

we got approved today at our interview!!! We are so happy, this was a long journey and we are thankful that these wonderful resources were here to guide us!

below is our story from this morning at the interview! hope it makes sense!

our interview was scheduled for 930am but we got there early

1 - walked in at 830am

2 - token at 844am asked for DS260 and interview letter and passport

3 - first indian guy already had our file, asked for the interview letter and looked at passport and asked about our trip to Thailand, asked where is your wife, when did she come to india and when is she flying back. when were you in the US last. were you married before, was your wife married before.

4 - wait from 930am to 1045am.

5 - american guy called his token number and asked him to take oath and give fingerprints again, who is calling you, where did you meet, where does she work, where did you get married, how many people attended the wedding, were your parents there and were her parents there, did your family approve the marraige, did your parents try to get you fixed to any other indian girl before marrying your wife, where does your wife live in US and where was she born, show me your wedding pics, congrats approved you will get it in a week, thank you

Yahooooo!! Wel done.

SO I have seen that first Q a while and it has always puzzled me, what does it mean .. "WHO is calling you?"

[theluckygirl 30]

How long after the visa is approved does the London embassy take to send the passport back and for the beneficiary to physically receive the passport? Does it take 2-5days or 2weeks?

Also has anyone had success contacting the London embassy for an earlier interview ste through the contact form provided at the London consulate website?

Hi All,

So I emailed the Embassy twice already asking if I could get an earlier interview date and they just seem to ignore my emails. For anyone who has successfully done so, how long did it take for them to get back to you?

Thank you,

[Rose and Mike 12]

Hello good morning everyone.

II am wondering if anyone here or if you know anyone who was given a 221g at interview time and told they have to amend their tax return because they filed single?

I know I have read it here and there on VJ but for the life of me I cannot find a post or thread (in a debate on another thread LOL).

So if you did or know someone who did see a post saying such please direct me post link whatever. I am on a mission to find out something

For me, the CO just ask my husband to explain why did he file single but my husband amended it sent the document to me.
