GeeH

I just got back from the embassy in London. What a straight forward process. Got told I was approved and that it will all be ready to collect in about 10days.
Has anyone else had experience collecting their passport/packet from the courier people? OR should I arrange it to be delivered? I don't mind really. Funnily enough the location of my collection point is Brent, same as my fiance's name. The lady at the embassy said it was fate and meant to be I agree!!!

So after all my stressing for nothing (as usual!) my visa interview date has been set for Sept 12th!! woooo!!!
I emailed the contact us section of the embassy site and requested for info on my case. I stated all the dates for medical and when all my forms were sent etc, including my LND number. I got a reply saying that my interview was scheduled and that I had a letter sent out on 6th Aug (Yesterday) with the instructions.
I am now waiting to hear back about whether they have my payment on record as the email also said I should now register on the usvisa site which I have already done so, and just follow instructions. I doubt it but I have asked about the courier too. I'll post if they say what to do about that as I know there was some confusion!
Anyway, happy days... good luck to all still waiting

To be honest I was going to be away and out the country until July 21st so I just requested something for July 22nd onwards, she just said what ever date is good for you... so I assume that week is pretty free for now. Best to call and book something I say and if you need to change it maybe call up sooner to the date and see if they have cancellations etc? They have two clinics so make sure to call the main line that deals with both not the direct line to a specific clinic or you will only be able to book an appointment for that clinic.
The main line number is 0207 486 7822 which is also listed in the embassy details section of this site. Be warned it's ALWAYS engaged so just keep calling, it took me 10mins to get through.
Good luck! and so lucky you get to be there at the same time when she's going through it, I hear it can be daunting. My fiance can't come out to visit me now as work won't permit, he's already been over once this year and, as most Americans know, vacation time is very small and precious in the US (for most jobs) oh well only a few more skips until I board the plane back for good... fingers crossed!

I was getting worried because so many people from CSC were getting approvals from up to March Applicants and we were end of Feb but they just hadn't texted/emailed us and I waited until this morning to check the receipt number and there it was!! Yey... I've started the next part by filling all the paper work in, but can any London folk who have done this already please show me a link or something that say how I schedule appointments etc. Also I have a police certificate that's due to expire end of August (I had it done for something else last year and I had a spare copy of it) should I get a new one just in case?
Thank you all and thank you VJ for being sucha great site of resources, this journey has been so much better with it!
