I wouldn't worry too much. I had my interview on April 19th and my fiance is still a student and had only filed taxes for 2005 and i had all the relevant tax documents from his dad who is our joint sponsor. When i was called to the first window to hand in the documents, when i handed in my affidavits, letters of employement etc i handed in the tax forms and the lady handed them straight back to me. She didn't even look at them once, not even a glance! They were literally handed straight back, I think it was because I had the letters of employment and she said I only need the tax forms if they are self-employed. I would write an email to the embassy explaining your situation, stating whether your fiance is employed/self-employed/unemployed and they will advise you what to do.

This happened to me when i had my interview on April 19th. I got the letter while i was on holiday and when i got back my slip was void. I went to the embassy for my interview and just asked the guy at the front who was asking to see your appointment letters and so on, and he just gave me a new slip and told me where the bank was. The bank opens at 8am and is probably a 10-15 minute walk. I even went back to the embassy early and was allowed in at 9.15 (though my appointment time was 10.30) and i was out by 10.15. I worked myself into a panic when i realised about my paying slip being void, i called my fiance in tears- he thought someone had died!! but you'll be fine and good luck!!

I was approved yesterday in London, I was only in the embassy for a total of one hour, which was much faster than i had anticipated! If someone could add me to the list of approvals that would be great!!

Hey, I'm another young 'un here- I'm 20, my fiance has just turned 22. Me and my fiance met when his family were transfered to England with work and we went to the same school. I don't think the age thing even came up at all in our application, but i think it looked good that we had known eachother for 5 years and have been in the same place for 2 1/2 years of that, as well as all the visits and things when he got moved home. In fact we had our NOA 2 25 days after we sent off our I-129F application and i had packet three in my possesion just 7 weeks after sending off the petition. I'm now just getting ready for my interview on april 19th and hopefully that will go well. Anyway that's just my 2 cents, age shouldn't matter, we're legally old enough to marry so that's enough for me!

I also did the same thing and signed the DS-156 but i didn't realise until i had already sent it. I emailed the embassy and they told me that there was no requirement that i send in an unsigned version, so i left it as it was. My forms were processed in 26 days so i don't think it held me up that much. I called the overly expensive line to talk to a person about it, just to be sure and the said the embassy will just get me to cross out the date i put on the form and correct it with the date of my interview. Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention that i'm applying for the K1 visa and I sent back my packet 3 on febraury 6th but didn't send the checklist off until march 4. My packet 4 was received on march 28. I'm in Illinois right now with my fiance, POE was good and didn't ask any questions regarding the visa or my fiance so that was good, i was very nervous about travelling so close to my interview date but they never asked me anything about it which was a relief.

If someone could add my info that would be much appreciated, i have absolutely no idea how to do it. I have filled in my timeline, but it won't let people view it, does anyone know what i can do to let others see the timeline so that it might help them? I'm not very good with technology!

Thanks

Fiona,

I had my medical exam in London in february for K1 and you will be fine, they won't ask to see anything!! You do need to change into a dressing gown in just your underwear and they prod and poke your stomach but that's about it, as well as taking a blood test. You'll be fine. My doctor was a south african guy and was extemely nice, oh and you can ask for a female nurse to be present for it all if that is any help to you. The doctor does ask if you've had any problems concerning that area but that is as much as it was. Hope this helps!!

hey everyone! This is my first post on the boards- have to say i've find the boards a god send recently! I'm from Lincolnshire and just got my packet 4 today saying my interview is on April 7th, but I can't attend it as i fly to the USA tomorrow to be with my fiance for his birthday (which is also april 7th) so I managed to get my interview date changed to April 19th at 10.30am. I'm so nervous about it already but fingers crossed....

Good luck to everyone who's having their interview soon!!

Katie
