Hey again guys, 

 

I have my interview on Monday so just wanted to ask whether you have to bring photocopies of everything or whether it is not that big of a deal

What do you mean by "everything". If you have the P3 letter with the required documents for starters that would be most of what is asked for which you will need copies of. If you have original documents (OD) and you want the OD back then make sure you can supply a copy to the CO for their keeping, but they do require to view an original prior to you handing them a copy. Be sure to ask for the OD back.

No they just took the originals and scanned or photocopied them then you get them back

I was there yesterday too! It wasn't as bad as I was expecting but even so it was still pretty surreal!.

 

It still doesn't feel like I'm quite there yet, they didn't receive my medical from Knightsbridge yet. I only had it done last Tuesday so hopefully soon.

 

Good luck with everything and thank you, from me too, to everyone who has given so much help and advice which has made the journey so far, much easier than it ever would have been without this site and the valuable information from the people on it.

Go to ceac.state.gov. When the Embassy is ready to issue a visa, it will change to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application"; at that time, you will know that you are a few days away from getting the visa. It will go from "Immigrant Visa Application" to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application" status and then your visa changes to "Ready" ==> "Administrative Processing" ==>> "Issued" status as well. These steps sometimes transpire over a day or even a few days. Some smaller Embassy's it happens within hours.

 

Sometimes, it might skip "Administrative Processing" and go from "Ready" to "Issued".

So I just had a look and it is now shown as a Non-Immigrant Visa Application and is in Administrative Processing. You have literally just made my day!! Thank you (again!) for all of the info. Really helpful!

Wow that was quick! I had mine Wednesday and I’m still stuck on Ready. The only thing that changed is the date. Did they have your medical?
