Preferably chocolate desserts .. 🤪.. then the leftovers for breakfast ! 

Repeat after me:
Stressed 
Desserts 
 
Now pick of the two 
Or read it backwards 
 

I was in the same position 5 months ago. My appt was the day before my flight and i had a 5 hr drive each way to the passport office. Just make sure you have the required documents , credit/debit card , correct cash ( don't forget the expedite fee) or check .. passport photos .. my passport was ready for pick up 3 hrs after my appt. Agents at Hot Springs AR were great, friendly, efficient and competent 

Thank you! I have an appointment on the 17th at 10am. I fly 10pm on the 18th. I am stressssssed. 

You have plenty of time to get a passport, if you act quickly and if you are willing to possibly travel to a passport agency.  See below url.  You need to let them know if you need to travel due to either 1) life/death emergency or 2) "Urgent Travel" needs (within 14 days).  In either case, you can get same day passport as soon as you can secure an appointment in a passport agency.  Good luck.

Call US Passport Agency, they have a same day passport issuance if you are traveling within 14 days.

Do not leave without the us passport. As Family posted .. emergency appts are available at passport offices .. not where you usually apply like the PO… you  must call 10 business days before your travel booking, have your international flight record locator in hand, and appear in person at the passport office   Info is on the passport website

I passed the interview. My oath ceremony is on august 1st! 

I passed the interview. My oath ceremony is on august 1st! 

I filed end of April and today I got my interview date. July 15th. Next month! 

I did. I had 5 years on hand. Added them to my application. Im all submitted and ready for the wait! 

I think I've waited long enough to call... Lady on the phone told me I should have called earlier (go figure) and they will schedule me for July 6th or 7th and if I don't get a letter by June 30th I should call them again.... How funny that it works so different for each and every one of us... ahhhh. Anyway lost 3 months, hopefully the rest will go much faster (hopeful thinking!!).

That case is so sad. What a waste of a good heart. I bet the donors family are pissed!
Al's Obamas pal and if the IRS go after him, he'll make it into a race issue as always.

I'm curious why you left the USA if you knew the K1 was a 1 time entry deal? I hope you get it sorted out.

https://www.healthcare.gov/this is the government healthcare website. I dont know if they'll accept a pregnancy, maybe they will as a pre-existing condition? Maybe call them and ask. Congrats!

You should never make wedding arrangements without your visa in hand. If you get married on the VWP. You'll have to cancel your K1 and refile for the spousal visa I beleive.

After a long #### wait and a denial. I re-applied last Friday and got a letter today to say I'd be getting my card in the next 2 weeks! At last!! The wait has been so frustrating. Im glad some of us are making some head way to getting our lives back on track. I can get a driving licence and a job now!!!

I want to clarify, it makes no difference if these applications are approved before election time. Thier approved application would have zero impact on the election. Why? They can't vote. They are conditional residents (2 year) on a deferred status, not citizens. The mere action of him providing this avenue however is an attempt to gain the approval (and votes of course) of the millions of hispanic citizens who may have family members or friends that will likely be affected by this.
Check out the Politics and Religion as I beleive there are a number of these threads already in existence.

I used the doc list to send off my AOS, EAD and AP today. Thanks for a great resource

You cannot have your medical without your police certificate.
You seriously need to read this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/ All the questions you ask, the answers are in it. Its very valuable information. You need to know it. All the information is for the London Embassy only.

Ok. 4 days late but here it is. My interview write up.
I was lucky enough to have my fiance fly over to be with me for my interview. We left Cardiff on the 4am megabus to London Victoria. We left the house at 2:45am. A long day ahead! After managing to catch a little sleep on the bus on the way to London we arrived at 8:10am. Concerned about the rush hour on the tube (I was almost late to my medical due to the rush hour crowds on the tube at Victoria) we got a taxi to the Embassy. It wasnt too far on the tube so I knew a taxi wouldnt be too expensive. It was £8. A fair price.
Upon arriving at the Embassy we walked to Goulds Chemists to check in our electrical goods. We checked in 1 phone, 2 ipods, 2 sets of earphones, a usb stick, an ipad all for £3 total. They give you a raffle ticket for when you claim it back when youre done. There is a small cafe next to Goulds where we grabbed some toast and a drink to wait until 9am before joining the queue. We'd previously arranged with the embassy via email to have my fiance put on the entry list at the embassy. We called them and had a code given to us which we then put in an email and was told everything was sorted for us. Upon checking in at the first point outside the embassy, we found that Ian, my fiance, was not on the list!!! Nightmare! The officer tried calling the immigration branch around 10 times but with no answer. He suggested I go in without Ian and ask inside if he could come in but we werent happy with that incase they said no and he was stuck outside for the day. We went back to Goulds where they have laptops and printers rigged up for the various surrounding embassies for people to print forgotten documents. We paid £6 for 15 minutes of internet to print out Ians confirmation email from the embassy with the code on it. £6 is very steep but needs must. Goulds must make a lot of money off the embassies!! The officer went inside with the printed email and we were given the all clear for Ian to come inside. Phew.
The security screening was fine. Just like at the airport. We went round the side of the building, up the stairs to see a lady at the desk where I showed her my appointment letter and she gave us our number to look out for. I was I916. We managed to find a place to sit and get comfy whilst we watched the screen and waited. There were around 300 people also waiting. Busy! Ian used the snack bar at the rear of the room and bought a water and a kitkat that were £1.80 in total. After around 30 minutes we were called to window 14 to hand in my documents. Birth cert and copy, I134 and supporting forms (1040 and Ians dads letter of employment), police cert and copy and my divorce papers and copy. He also took my passport which I'll get back with my visa. All my forms were correct and present and we were given a pink form for the courier should we be successful. We went and sat back down. It was 10am. After another hour and 15 minutes we were called to window 15 for the interview. I was soooo nervous!! We had a nice white guy, around late thirties. Friendly but not overly. He said that looking at our folder, we go to a lot of sports games. Lol. Most of our photos we submitted were of us at various games. He asked me did I like American sports? What was my favourite baseball team? I said the Yankees and he jokingly said "visa apporoved!" and close the folder. Lol. He then went on to ask how we met and the timeline of how the relationship progressed. The Officer asked Ian a few questions about the I134 and about Ians current working situation. Ians Dad is supporting me and Ian had just lost his job due to needing time off to help me move. He also asked was Ians Dad aware that I may not be able to work for upto 6 months. He already knew and is fine with it. The officer said he was satisfied enough with our relationship to issue the visa. He then congratulated us and told us where to pay for the courier. We thanked him and left on a high! Big relief! We paid the £15 and are waiting on my visa to be delivered. Bank holiday weekend has delayed it but thats fine as Im not booked on a flight out until May 16th. By the time we got back to Goulds to pick up our electricals, It was 11:30am. In and out in 2 and a half hours. Not too bad.
Its been an experience and we still have a long way to go but the first hurdle is now over and we can concentrate on packing up my house and handing in my notice at work.
