    Your be all good :D time sure does fly!!!

    Another 11 days for me, starting to feel the nerves a little.

    I'm excited for you both!! It's bringing back my memories.........

    Hopefully storm Henry is gone soon so you won't be standing and waiting in the rain!

    This is my last week at work - OMG.

    Wow, that's getting super close now!!! You'll be there real soon!!

    43 days for me ?

    Well, luckily I had no ties. I lodged with dad for the last 3 months, and my work have know since October 2015, I would be leaving so I only had to give them a 1 week notice.. !

    I have £3000 saved.. but it's for UK debts that I can't run away from. I guess it's a bad idea to burn bridges...

    I don't think this is a myth. I have been in contact with a few other London Embassy K-1's through PMs and all of us had very similar medical dates we submitted everything for the interview within the the same week.

    I put a date for this summer on for when I was planning on getting married and one other put a farther date, while another put a very close date. My medical is 3 weeks later than the one who submitted a close date and the other who put a farther off wedding date got a significantly farther interview date as well.

    The kicker is that all of our interviews were scheduled and letters were sent within the same 2 days, so it seems there may be some sort of difference made by putting a different date.

    Maybe - No one will know for sure. For example, Trudi (in this thread), used 20th Feb as her wedding date, which is the same date I used, yet her interview is for 2nd Feb, and she had her medical before me. Yet mine was scheduled for 25th Jan..... who knows!

    Would we be able to wait even if the I-129F expires March 30?

    I think we may wait and see what we get for the interview and then go from there. He has obligations at home the whole month of April anyway so POE wouldn't be until the first week of May anyway (hopefully!).

    We had scheduled everything before we even got our NOA2!! Assuming the process was going to take 7 - 8 months.

    If it expires, I think all you need is a newly dated letters of intents from both of you so it won't be a problem. It's up to you if you are ok with delaying things, going through more processes with sending new letters etc.

    I do think you should plan after you know dates. You aren't risking anything then!

    Fiance just scheduled his medical for the 2nd of Feb! Very excited to finally have that date.

    I was just looking through timelines and noticed that some peoples interviews happened just a couple weeks after the medical while other have been up to a month or so later.

    I'm guessing this is just based on luck?

    We are trying to figure out timing as I will be over visiting in the UK from March 18 to 30... we are hoping the interview doesn't fall in that time frame as we have booked a trip in the highlands but its looking like it possibly might.

    Just looking for insight - or a link to another thread maybe?

    Good work so far :) awesome that the medical is booked.

    It really is down to luck, for example, some people had their medical a week before me, yet I had my interview before them. There is a myth, that if you put an early date for your wedding on the readiness form, they schedule you in quicker. But really there is no evidence of this.

    I personally wouldn't plan trips until you know the interview date - if they schedule it while you guys are away, it will be a pain to change and you will be waiting longer. I got my letter for interview 3 weeks after medical. I'd say it varies between 2 and 4 weeks.

    In the Visa game, it's really better to play it safe...

    Now that the medical is booked, and he has all his docs for interview, you can submit the readiness and DS160. They wont schedule the interview til you've done those things so if you really wanted to do the highlands you could wait until after the trip.

    Sighs, well the visa medical dr's office FINALLY sent the paperwork to the embassy yesterday and sent the copy of the paperwork to my fiance via email as well. So now we wait for the embassy to receive it so they can approve his visa. I really hope they get the paperwork soon because the stress of this whole ordeal is making my hair fall out.

    At least it's on order now - just think, it didn't go smoothly as hoped, but it COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE! A lot worse! Be happy the progress has been made and things can move forward now - glue your hair back in, smile, it's coming together!

    I'm not sure where you guys are travelling from. Trains are extortionate. If you can drive to an outer London tube, you will save loads. We drove to Leytonstone, paid £6 for parking, and tube to bond street and back any time is about £15... but ignore me if you aren't within 2/3 hours of London!

    Hello again everyone! I called the NVC and got the interview date which was awesome. Didn't even have to wait on hold!

    It's February 23rd at 8am, so it seems like I was being way paranoid about finding out too late!

    Anyway, I am looking up train tickets on Virgin and it looks like if I get a train any later than 2pm prices jump up from like £20 to over £100???

    If his interview is at 8am, can I assume he will have plenty of time to get everything done and get back to the station around 1pm? Or do you think that is cutting it a little close?

    Well done on getting interview date!

    I think 1pm for train will be fine... I mean, no one can tell you 100% as you never know what can happen, but put it this way, mine was schedule for 9:30, I was out by 10:15/10:30.

    Wow that was fast! Bet you're super excited now?

    I'm mostly stressed that my house sale has hit a hitch at the last second - not the distraction I wanted :(

    I really am! I just hope I get it before Feb 10th...!

    Oh nooo about the house. That isn't good - did the sale fall through?!
