Thats fantastic news so happy for you! Gives us all a little hope too xXx

your welcome xXx

thanks jenny Will try that one now too lol.... i shall not give up! HAHA <3
.....Although, now 17 days till my wedding and no change on my ceac today at all :/

I had three K2's accompanying me and I only had one copy of the I-134, the only thing I had to do for each of them were the forms I sent in for packet 3 and I had to photocopy the notarized letter from their father for each of the K2's I hadn't done this only copied it once but the lady at the first desk of my interview copied it for me 2 more times
xXx

Have we already established there is no reason why you would be in the long security checking AP? It comes from the DS-157 usually and If you or your close family were born in or frequently visit India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Eritrea, Lebanon, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Qatar, Somalia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, or Syria or have Muslim ties then there may be AP in London. Or having certain scientific training or maybe munitions training or expertise perhaps from the military could require extra checks. Do you tick any of those boxes?

Definately no reason for me to be in that long security checking AP. English born and bred, only place I have visited is USA and spain once when I was 17! None of my family have been there either as far as I know, I haven't had contact with any of my family for a few years but positive none of them have even been on holiday to any of those places. All this would be so much easier to cope with if they just told us what they were doing instead of "just wait and check the website!"....... another new week, lets hope for good news for us all

thanks nich <3

Yeah very odd!! What time was your interview? His was 8:30, maybe you saw each other!

yup mine was 8.30 too, line was HUGE we must of passed at some point. I was so nervous, found myself rabbiting on to these two students haha they musta been glad to get away from me going on bout useless nonsense lol

My fiances interview was on August 5th and was approved, and they told him he'd have it in ten days. Now been in administrative processing since the 6th yes hoping for good news this week for everyone that's been waiting!!!

oh he was there the same day as me then! it seems odd so many from the same few days is struggling :/

Oh awesome!!!! Hey maybe he can do the same for some of us who have been waiting nearly a month too! Haha

How long you been waiting rachael? Can you update your timeline please Sorry to hear you been waiting for so long too, lets hope for some news this week! xxx

(Disregard the IVU email, I just checked and that one was later. It was only the Consular Info Unit who replied to the contact form, but they did have access to my file.)

I don't blame you for wanting to try help. I'd be feeling so frustrated too if I were you. But I think you do still stand a fairly good chance of making Sept 14th, although the two holidays are bad timing. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

cheers chick, I am trying to stay positive haven't given up ALL hope just yet xxx

Which contact form (or option within) are you using?

When I did it, I got an email back from the Consular Information Unit and then from the Immigrant Visa Unit.

I can't even remember now lol, I have sent so many emails from different places and called a million numbers and just get nowhere. I am just gonna leave it up to the other half to call DoS for us everyday.... just thought I could do something too you know, feels like i'm sitting here waiting for him to do it for me all the time like some princess!

ilovemypants - I am sorry that you're going through this. I couldn't get through to anyone either when I had problems getting my visa from DXS.

Could you ring up DOS, perhaps? It's really not acceptable is it? I agree with you - for what we're paying and who we are dealing with, things should be running a lot more smoothly. Good luck.

yup it sure does suck, not only me in this situation seems there is a group that is struggling. Yeah my man has been calling DoS everyday for accurate updates just was hoping for something more proactive I could doso I didn't have to sit here feeling useless. Really starting to consider whether or not I am going to make my wedding day It's all booked and invites sent for 14th sept, but with my ceac still stating 'ready' the earliest it is likely to receive the visa in hand is thursday and thats only if it is issued tuesday, sent to courier wednesday then out for delivery to me thursday.... which as we have all seen is highly unlikely to go so smoothly!!!

xXx

Ok, so I call the embassy.... they tell me they are just the non immigrant section and can't help me and say have to use the contact us email form on website.... so .........I use the contact us form on said website like I am advised and guess what?!?!?!.......

Dear Applicant,

We can only provide general information regarding how to use the appointment scheduling website and/or how to register for courier services.

The system will show an update to your status when the documents have been turned over by the consular section for delivery to you. We cannot provide case status updates or estimates as we are not consular officers and the adjudication of each applicant's application is at the sole discretion of the consular section.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22841020 might wanna watch this... its not good

and i guess the wait now goes on hold till Tuesday....

LOL yup, its like that 'to be continued' moment on your fav tv show!

Can't believe the trouble you have had to even just get yours delivered jeff and emmy, so stupid! But so so so happy that at least one of us limbo liners has an end to their story!!! Congrats <3

I can't believe you are still having problems, I've been coming back on every couple of days to see if theres any good news for you and still nothing. I swear they need to provide compensation to all the people who've waited over twice as long as they were meant to, and 5 times longer than the norm. Thoughts are with you, I hope things change any day now and you don't have to cancel your wedding! <3

Awww thanks crashsle <3 you're very thoughtful It's all you guys here that get us limbo guys through it moan and freak out always being there with a kind word, THANK YOU!!! It does seem to be people from the first week of august thats having a terrible time for some odd reason, it's just this not knowing thats scary. IIf only there was an actual number to someone that actually knew about the K visa's, It just seems to be a huge black hole for that type! Nobody I call on english line numbers can tell me a thing they tell me they can't even check my status yet my man over in usa can check on the number he calls... very frustrating when your trying to keep the cost of international calls down after being broke buying 4 visa's and needing flights lol.

How are you getting along?! xXx

weird man this whole thing is totally messed up for so many people, it's really NOT fair.... this is peoples whole lives in their hands, I am getting extremely ****** off with it all now
Again, good luck to all still waiting in some kind of limbo. Positive thoughts sending your way guys! xxx

how did he sign up to this site?! I am trying now but it asks for you to input the visa type... but the K1/K2 visa is the only one not listed there?!

I just came on to see how you're doing and this isn't what I wanted to read!! So sorry you still haven't got em - has DOS given anymore info? This really effing sucks a big one!!!

It could be any day but the not knowing must be so horrible - much love to you and your fam, lady x❤x

Also, have you told dos/embassy when your wedding is???

Awww thanks for checking up on me your so sweet miss chloe! <3

How did your move go?!?! did you fly yet?!?! I forgot when you said you were going now :/

I did write the wedding date on the cover list when i sent in the packet I included a copy of the receipt of payment to the wedding officiant before my interview, and i think he asked at the interview can't remember now :/ But yeah this not knowing really is extremely painful, really wanted to be able to spend time with my fiance before we had to get married but thats not going to happen now, and now just petrified I am going to have to cancel it totally

I have tried calling that 202-663-1225 number form here in the UK but it just gives me the engaged tone, so my man woke up (he works nights) and tried to call, got through to them and they said their system is down........

now they all say 22nd ..... why oh why can't they just be issued :'( I don't want to cancel my wedding the invites already went out!!!!.... sorry having a melt down moment.....normal service shall resume shortly! lol

well, the wedding is on the 14th of sept. So really if i dont hear by next week, things dont look good... just checked my ceac and mine has just updated this second to 22nd but kids ones havent, they still on 16th for last update. But STILL it just says 'ready' Like you say if it said 'issued' i wouldnt be in this blind panic, but its just not very encouraging for me right now

well, all this confusion I am now starting to think about cancelling our wedding interviewed on the 5th and ceac is still stating 'ready' calling embassy is totally pointless, DoS have been a little more helpful but still can't tell us how long it might take and running dangerously close to our wedding day now for me to be able to get a flight and fly out there in time

hey hunni, I am still waiting too, no updates on my case sine 15th for my case and 16th for kids k2's. looking like we have to start considering canceling the wedding which is the 14th sept Try calling the DoS number and let us know what they say babe xxx

yup, I had my interview on the 5th, they didn't look at any evidence at all

here is a link to the long running london medical thread

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/8321-london-medical-knightsbridge-doctors/

I used this to help me through it all, its handy to read others experiences to guide you through and so you know what to expect. I used to start at the end rather then the beginning to get the newest dated info
good luck xxx

yeah i just messaged them on that too, been calling everyday but get no help at all, just told to wait and check ceac... but once it gets to over 12 working days you start to lose patience with that when it just tells you 'ready for interview' everytime I was supposed to fly out on 19th had to cancel, then thought 21st.... not gonna happen either. Wedding in 3 weeks, considering whether I am going to have to cancel it :'(
