I told him to tell them the circumstances that he is supposed to come over here the 16th of October, and he think the embassy lost it or something along those lines... I've heard before of someone having a similar issue and they got the 2nd one within days because they told a pity story. haha. his first one he thinks took about 2-3 weeks... but with all the postal strikes and stuff right now, who knows how long it could take.

Just writing to tell you all that my fiance had his interview today. All went well, he was only there for a total of about an hour and he said they asked hardly any questions at all. Only thing being is, he didn't have his police report. He is pretty sure he sent it in with the forms, and he said he thought they sent it back, but he can't find it. Sadly, I think we're going to have to apply for another one. He's approved on the condition of that form being sent in. It has been nearly 8 months since getting it, so it's untelling what's happened to it by now. yey for being pretty much approved I guess, but boo on having to wait another 40 days to get a new police certificate.

ummm. I think I can get a copy of mine, but my mom is in Mexico right now. Will they not approve it, or will it be pending the additional information? I mean... the letter from her employer should be enough to prove how much she makes in my opinion. She makes way more than is necessary, so I don't really think we'll have any problems with it?

Edit: I forgot to metion I also have letters from the bank for me and my mom (they are dated back in March when I got them) that state how much we've put in the bank in the last year, how much we currently had, and how long our account had been with them etc.

Hey all,

I wanted to make sure i'm not forgetting anything for the interview.

I have all copies of the original packet sent for the 1-129. I have also added, my passport (i've gotten a new one since, so i'm sending the one with the stamps in it where i've been to England). I'm also sending a log of all the emails i've sent him, and all the emails he's sent me. I am going to send new evidence, where I went over in December, (pics - flight details etc), and where he came over here in July (flight details, passport stamps). I have the 1-134 filled out and notarized, by me and my co-sponsor (my mom), I have 3 recent paystubs from my old job (I started a new one this week, so I can't really get anything from them yet). I have a letter from my co-sponsors employer with her salary listed on it. Updated letters of intent, signed by me and my fiance, both notarized. I have letters in there he's sent me, as well as cards that i've received from his family for holidays (birthday, Christmas etc). He is going to check when he gets home to see if we still have Christmas cards his family sent us last year saying to you and your fiancee lol. Other then that, am I forgetting anything? he goes home today and is taking my binder of information with him, just want to make sure we're not forgetting anything

I'm not looking foward to starting the new paperwork. They raised the prices soo much. There goes the Christmas present funds toward AOD and EAD. Stupid government. Lets just punish the people who try to do it legally.

Hey all. Just a quick question...

Our interview is set for Oct 1st, and i'm working on the evidence of relationship. Do you think sending them printouts of my email account, like a log format instead of each individual email will suffice? I have 1289 emails from him, and it took 39 pages to print out just a log of them all. I intend on having him do the same. I'm a little iffy on what all I should be sending him to the interview with. I don't want them to deny or delay sending the visa because I forgot something!!

Thanks..

We got back the letter in the mail. New interview date is set for October 1, 9:00am!

yey! Also kind of not yey, because he goes home Sept 27th then has his interview a few days right after he gets home.

Wish us the best!

Hey everyone,

Just thought i'd update and let you know that we emailed the embassy and have rescheduled our interview. Don't know the exact date yet, they said they would mail a letter to his house with the date, so it sounds like they're remailing a p4? lol. But yey, they are going to let us reschedule instead of reapply!!

Now I just have to get the support documents done before he goes back home, and hopefully we'll get an interview in late october early Nov so he can be here for Christmas and we can get on with our lives!

Weight watchers worked out really well. I did the I think it was core diet, where you could eat anything on the list and not really count points as long as you only ate until satisified. I lost like 12 lbs the first month I did it, but then... I kind of stopped going and have gained about 5 lbs of it back. haha. But yeah, if you go... and follow the guildlines, it works out really well.

What's DOS?

Good to know there is a number I can call from here, but $16 flat rate... Ewww.

If I have my LND case number should I be able to just email them? My fiance said he tried that once and got an email back saying they deleted the emails immediately that he had sent them? That you have to phone them to get a number as a reference so they won't delete your email?!

Hmm. I will try that then. Thanks

Nov or Dec wouldn't be bad either, I was just sort of hoping for him to be here for Christmas This is US year. haha. We go back and forth each year for Christmas, and I was there last year. Plus he goes home late Sept and i'm going over the 2nd week of October for his sister's wedding, so I was kind of hoping he could come back with me.

Kinda stinks you can't call from here, but I guess they wouldn't be able to charge you for the call if they did that. Bah. Scrooges.

Hey all,

I know its major expensive to call the embassy - but should I be able to do so from here in the US? My fiance and I want to schedule the interview, we're hoping for a late October or early Nov interview, but he's here right now and doesn't go home until the end of September. If you didn't read my previous post, we cancelled the interview we had scheduled back in June, and instead of reapplying for the visa we are going to try to just reschedule the interview. Anyone know how long they are running on scheduling right now?

Thanks in advance.

Our NOA2 had actually expired in like April so we were going to have to sent new letters of intent anyway. I really hope it's that easy. I was just looking at the price increases for reapplying :S $455. Ouch.

So... I posted this on the k-2 board and got no response, so I hope you guys can help me out instead.

I have a quick question to ask on here,

My fiance and I applied for a fiance visa back in October of last year. We were scheduled to have the interview June 18th at the embassy in London. We had a rough patch there for a few months, and decided it was best to wait a while and he cancelled the interview at the embassy. Did that cancel out our entire petition? He said that the email he got basically said to phone the embassy whenever he was ready to reschedule. I know his police report and medical are good for a year so reapplying isn't really a big issue except for the price increase in actually doing that. haha. We never did anything state-side though. I'm not sure if I was supposed to contact anyone here to actually cancel it completely or if him calling the embassy was enough to do that?

I hope someone can help out here - kind of an odd situation...

I put that we met online through a mutual friend. Then I kind of made a timeline. Put all the dates in the last 2 years that we've seen each other, then put where we were during those times. Like for example June 2006 we went to Myrtle Beach together.

My fiance's is June 18th at 10am. We sent back p3 ermm March 19th, Medical today 5/10. I still don't think he's gotten p4, but they sent him and email back and told him his interview was June 18th. Kind of random. When he called they told him they hadn't even gotten his p3 (this was at the end of April) the lady said it could take up to 4 weeks to get into their P.O.Box. I think they kind of set us aside because we put we weren't getting married until December. haha.

Well his debit card is like maestro or whatever, think they accept that there??

Hey all,

Just a quick question, my fiance has his medical tomorrow at London. I just wanted to know to be safe, do they take credit/debit cards there? I would assume they do, but I don't know if they take his kind like just Visa or Mastercard for example? I wanted to make sure he knew if he needed to get cash out of the machine or something.

I'm probably just being paranoid! haha..

I know with Sprint you can pay a monthly fee and call cheaper to the UK as well. Txt's are .15 each, but I believe they have plans that you can get where you pay so much for a certain amount of txt's a month? When I called them up to ask how much international txt's were they tried to sell me on this 300 txt a month plan that you can add onto your bill.

I am definately getting vonage when my fiance moves here so that we can get a local access number for parents to call us, and we will be able to call them as much as we want . Hopefully we can find a cheap highspeed internet though Nothing like charging us loads here.

Thanks to everyone who replied, i'm sure it'll be fine . We have a solid case - there's no reason why we shouldn't get approved

After a week of waiting to hear back from the embassy we got an email yesterday.

Interview June 18th

Got to be some kind of luck, that's my mom's birthday! haha..

They also said that if our NOA2 has expired I will need to send an updated letter of intent to marry - notarized? Anyone else heard that. I figured i'd send one anyways, but notarized?

Woohoo! Weather in Cincinnati isn't too nice today, overcast and blah. Hope she has a great flight and happy reunion. I'm major uber jealous...

Ahh! So... we've been sitting here waiting, and waiting and waiting for packet 4. I call the state department today - and they say they have no records of ever getting it back. 5 weeks of waiting, for nothing... Lovely.

So, can someone tell me how to contact the embassy and find out what I should do? I think all the forms were online anyway, so he can just get those again, was there anything that only came in that packet though? The girl at the state department told me i'd have to get in contact with the embassy and have them send out another packet 3? Rawr... Annoying because he has his medical on May 10th, and we were hoping he'd only have to go to London once. Stupid postal service, or embassy whoever lost it!! haha.

Should I contact the embassy to let them know - hey we did send it back.. because our NOA2 is now expired, and if they see we haven't made an effort to get anything to them, they might not have renewed it?

Quick question.... as I am noticing - I think we are behind on getting back packet 4. We sent packet 3 back like March 19th. Could someone please explain to me how to go about calling the state department? Or what should I do. We were kind of hoping for an interview around May 10th, which is looking like it won't happen!!
