Nobody will do anything because it's an inconvenience for whichever generations happen to be alive and active at the time, and is generally a vote-loser which is obviously the most important thing.  Also lol an uppity teenager!
(Somebody already used "spout" twice in a single post.)
 
Mmm... short-term nomness.  Let's hope our kids aren't ####ed.  Wait.

From what I've read in general, it seems most people are not asked for additional 'proof' outside of, say, the tax transcripts that you send with the form(s) anyway. Still, it seems to happen from time to time and I suppose it depends very much on the person on the other side of the table!
I'll be printing off a few bank statements when I get the interview date in the post... Say one each for the last six months, then maybe a couple more here and there throughout the marriage, but that's about all. If they need more evidence, so be it, I'll send it on at a later date. I'm going to guess they ask for none of it, though.

You only need one photo, for both book and card. The card photo is digitised, yes.

I'm interested.

As per usual, such an outlandish and outrageous suggestion from the Trumpster nobody of any importance will actually take it seriously.
This section will lose something when Trump is finally Trumped and leaves.

Wait, August 2015? I don't know if you've been burnt in the past with other parts of the immigration journey or not, but having at least seen your posts over the last month or so all over this forum I had presumed you'd been waiting a long, long time. Don't get me wrong, it's annoying when others seem to 'jump ahead' (such is the nature of immigration and the lack of transparency and regularity), but just a few months? I had to wait longer than was necessary for my original AOS (I am from a 'safe' country with a 'safe' name) and eventually put in a service request, which resolved the issue shortly afterwards. It was a pretty rubbish position to be in, but sometimes it happens and you have to take the ride along, and occupy yourself with other things.
This is from some time ago, but:

Having read your (often long and reasonably regular) posts, I honestly don't believe this. It's not written with ill-will or out to offend/not sympathise, but it's clear this situation is in your mind all the time and you're bitter over it.

Why are you asking a second time? The first reply was correct; your case will be reset and started from scratch. There is no medical involved; do you mean the biometrics appointment (which is distinctly not a medical)? If so, then yes, you will need to do that again. As was already stated (x2), they will already know all about you when you re-apply.

Using "racist" in this context is not only incorrect but utterly moronic, though; mymercy made an incorrect and utterly moronic point. I think that settles that and people are definitely free to move on.

I was hugely ninja'd. That's what I get for making a cup of tea before hitting the Post button. Regardless, for posterity:
The passport photos are only needed to "those who reside overeas pursuant to military or Government orders." It's all in the instructions; did you read them?
As long as you have downloaded the latest form from the USCIS website it will be accepted.

Even the green card renewal isn't as big a deal as some people think; obviously it's the wisest thing to renew the card prior to it expiring, but unlike the two year version the expiration date is solely for the card, not for the status.

Aaah, looking at people, that truly heinous crime that's surely in all the law books . I always knew it should be outlawed. People that pick their nose in public is the real hanging offence, though.

Either way. If you're going to include it again, might as well. I doubt they even read cover letters.

I contacted the mods for you.
Also, that's a heck of a lot of evidence (and the biggest forum sig I've ever seen). I don't think I even sent a quarter of that at the time.

No I have not experienced this. I am American and had no police certificate. It is my opinion. There is a piece of paper with your likeness affixed and your name on it. And it gives your UK police record. I don't see how the address it was mailed to matters. What if you needed a German police certificate? Would it be invalid if it was mailed to you in England? Would you have to move to Germany to receive it at a German address so it matched before then interviewing in England? You need a Canadian certificate because you lived there. What if you ordered it and had it sent to an England address? Does it no longer cover your time in Canada? I don't see the connection, thus the paranoid opinion which was your suggested word.

I don't know; I managed it and I'm fairly useless at everything, so anecdotally there are either some real potatoheads out there or people just get insta-overwhelmed and don't want to even attempt it.
C'est la vie. Money makes the world go around.

In before the lock, welcome back, Saturday would not be the same.

Was there a reason to bump a thread that was nearly seven and a half years old?

Hey VJers,
Been lurking on here for a long time now (since before we started this journey) and have learnt alot about this process. I just wanted to share my experience at Knightbridge, had my appointment this morning at 11.30am.
I arrived at Knightsbridge a little early (about 40 minutes early) and the receptionist told me that they were fully booked till my appointment time so she advised me to go to the coffee shop just outside. I didn't and chose to wait in the waiting room. She took all my papers and as people have already said before me they accept four of either size of the passport photos. She gave me the medical questionnaire to fill out, of which i answered 'yes' to two of the questions. Tobacco use and glasses.
At precisely 11.30 am i was called into the xray. I was asked to remove my top and bra and to tie my hair up. I didn't have a hair band or anything so i'd advise people with longer hair to remember to take something to tie their hair up. She gave me a clip to put mine up which i honestly didn't like. She gave me a gown and xray was done. She asked me to wait for her to check over the xray before she asked me to go in to a "ladies" only waiting room as the Doctor wanted me to keep the gown on. She closed the door to give me privacy which was nice of her. She was friendly and it was very quick.
I think i was in the waiting room for maybe a minute before the Doctor called for me. I had the oriental Dr, she introduced herself and showed me where to put my things. She went through the medical questionnaire with me and briefly told me what was planned for this appointment. She did ask me how many cigarettes i smoked on average (im in the process of quitting but I keep failing). First she took my weight, my height then checked eyesight, ears and mouth. She checked my blood pressure and it was quite high (i gathered it would be) 169/80 : ( She said she'll take another one later. She listened to my heart, then my lungs, checked my abdomen for any pains, asked me to undo my jeans and pull them down a little, she had a quick peek and said it was ok. She then retook my bp which was 125/70 which is what i normally am. Then came the blood test, one bottle, painless. Im not a fan of needles even though i am a nurse, i really dislike it when some people 'jiggle' the needle around if they've missed the vein (although sometimes you really have no choice). She then asked me to get dressed and told me she's happy with everything. She said the nurse may want to speak to me regarding vaccinations but from her point of view everything's in order and good.
I then went back to the main waiting room and the receptionist called me. She told me the nurse was happy with all my vaccinations, handed me back all my paper work, paid then left.
I was out of the medical centre by 12.00. I was only in there for 30 minutes! Receptionist did say it was because i helped them out by being so prepared. I just followed all the advice i've gotten from here so thankyou all very much. I'd like to add that i got my vaccination reports from my GP, occupational health and my university medical centre. I was worried about my chickenpox history but since i had a varicella blood test before joining the NHS i was in the all clear. Turns out as NHS clinical staff you are advised to have the varicella vaccination if you have no history. Apparently i totally forgot i had this blood test.
Total spent : Vaccinations, flu Tdap and MMR - free. Asked occupational health and GP.
Medical : 245 pounds plus travel 26 pounds.
Hopefully i have't forgotten anything and i hope this will help some one as many others have helped me.
