    Moving MONEY overseas

    Personally I chose to use the post offices's international payment method here http://www2.postoffice.co.uk/finance/making-payments/post-office-international-payments to move my money into my fiancee's account. Very good and easy website to use. And the more you transfer the better the exchange rate.

    Brill thank you everyone, I am going to give the Post office a try as I trust them and have used them for other things (Post!)

    Thank you again!

    Girlfriend visits

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    I travelled back and forth explaining that I was visiting my US Girlfriend without 'returning home Docs', although they did ask how I would support myself without a job and I just said I temp for a few months, save up and spend it on a trip to US, when I run out of money I go home and she comes with me, thus the cycle continues!

    Good luck, it will be fine!

    Visa Medical in London Today for K1

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Here is my experience of my trip to the Medical today, I hope it helps some people:

    Got the 6:44 train from Ipswich to get me into London Liverpool Street for 07:50, then onto the underground to Bond Street and to the Doctors at 8:15. Easy to find from underground, take Oxford Circus exit turn right, turn left onto Marlybone Lane, follow to Bentick Street, turn right, number 4 flat 4. Ring bell.

    Handed over passport, medical history, photo (had a US spec and UK spec, they accepted UK as they trim them down to this size anyway, she let me keep the US ones after I told her how much more expensive they are!) my police check hadn't arrived so they allowed me to simply email it to them once it does, they cannot send my medical report to the Embassy until they see it.

    After filling out a similar YES NO form to the prior one, I was in the waiting room (writing this!) very nice receptionists, for anyone tense or nervous, all good so far....

    After 10 minutes I got called in by the Radiographer for the chest x ray. Removing all clothing from top half inc necklaces (if you wish not to remove, wear a top with no metal or buttons and they won't make you). After this painless exprience, I was back in the waiting room.

    2 minutes later I was escorted to the nurses room where we discussed my vaccination record. It did not need to be up to date today but it will for when I file my AOS in US. I need a new 10 year Booster which I opted to get from my GP back home (note, I was also told if I file my AOS Oct-Mar I would need to prove I have a recent FLU shot aswell!). Back in the waiting room which has now filled up.

    After 25 minutes it was time to see the Doctor. Regarding my previous statement concerning removing clothes, buttons are now irrelevant, you will have to strip down to underwear. I also had to prove to her I was infact a male (there has been cases, apparently......)

    Simple a sight test, hearing check, height, weight, blood pressure, breathing and blood sample later (syphilis), I was out after 10 minutes, back in the waiting room.

    2 minutes later, I was called to reception, given a photocopy of my vaccination history that I provide when I file my AOS. The receptionist said the Embassy will take it if I give it to them so don't, they have their own copy and you won't get it back!

    Paid my 210, part cash, part card (they do not take American Express (ha!))

    Out by 10, underground then home!

    COSTS

    Return Train to London £44

    Passort Photo £2

    Medical £210

    Police Report £35

    Cider and McDonald's waiting for Train £5 (well deserved)

    One step closer.... PRICELESS!!!

    J-1 and K-1

    I guess this is a subject most don't know. Was thinking I'd get a little more than this.

    Depends on how much faith you have in your lawyer!

    1. Cancel the K1 and begin from scratch when the time comes

    2. delay the process until Sept 2012

    3. Apply for a waiver

    4. Continue on from lawyers instructions

    This is an area not many people come across- I called the US Embassy and they said if your petition passes the USCIS stage then don't worry about it.

    K1 Visa Interview in London with Dreadlocks!

    in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America

    Posted

    Hi all.

    I know that hairstyle says a lot about a person and that certain stereotypes are attributed to certain hairstyles, but I have my interview soon and I have . . .

    DREADLOCKS

    Now is this really going to pose an issue for me, are they going to look at me and think this punk just wants in because we have good surf seasons and relaxed Californian 'medicinal' views (I have never surfed nor do I 'partake').

    I know it's a minor point but if I have to shave them for the benefit of the interviewer, I will do just that.

    Anyone with any appearance related experience please contribute!

    Cheers Danny

    k-1 visa police certificate and costs of procedure

    No offence here - but as UK prices go, you can almost forget that. They have again changed their forms. You have the ten day option which actually takes 3-4 weeks, so if plenty of time go ahead with that, but bare in mind the certificate is only valid for 6 months, not 12 months like they keep saying.

    Or you have the two day option, which will cost you around £70 as a base price. This however can be done swiftly and quickly, however the UK ACPO prefer you send it recorded, and pay then to send it back next day recorded, so add another £12.00($20.00 est) to that price then to speed up the process a postal order - these costs about 10% more on top of the price you need the order for..

    Certificate plus

    return postage : £77

    Photos : £5

    Initial Postage : £5

    10% on postal Order : £7.70

    Also they change the forms alot, so keep your eyes on them, I know this is for the UK certificate, but really dont wait in getting your certificate too long. It becomes an unexpected cost.

    I sent off for mine paying for regular because i callled up and they said they are dead quiet and will have it to me within 8-10 WD's. Just hope they were telling me the truth!!

    And I also hope it is cheaper in Vancouver for your sake jessicaDiana!
