Met in an online word game.
We were both regulars there, although she was a more recent regular than I.
Eventually we started messaging. Don't need to do that any more.

Had my interview taken another
I caught the last stayed at a hotel in the Paddington area
...
Colin
D'oh!
Had I had to wait another half hour for my interview I'd have had to pay for
a single back up. I caught the final train valid for Saver Return. Arrived
at 9am, but ended up as the second interview after lunch. I hope it's a bit
less busy earlier in the year than July.

Ok now I've not got my interview yet, but its coming (soon I hope). But I don't know what to do about getting down there and stuff. Went down on the overnight Bus for the medical from manchester, was not fun it was packet !!! got no sleep but was ok coming back. so I could ether,
1) go down on the overnight bus on a return ticket for the interview. it get in about 6.15
2) go down the day before on the bus and stay in the hotel.
3) get the plane there and back.
4) get the plane the day before and stay in the hotel.
Look't at the train and it was coming up more expensive than the plane
go figure !!! the bus is only £ 36 pound But not sure If I could do it again LOL anyone want to share their experience on this pleasethanks in advance
Eric
I was travelling down for my interview in July 2007 (how time flies!) from Doncaster.
I was able to get a GNER Saver Return train ticket by booking in advance, travelling down
the night before and back before 2:30pm. Had my interview taken another
I caught the last stayed at a hotel in the Paddington area
and then was able to walk to the embassy in the morning.
I could have travelled down in the very early hours, but I didn't want to chance it.
I would always suggest travelling down the night before unless cost is a bigger issue than the
risk of delay.
I was slightly concerned about the risk of oversleeping, but the noise woke me well
before my alarm!
I hope that your interview goes well.

What about West Country cider?
Didn't ever have real West Country scrumpy, but I was a cider drinker before I
stopped drinking.
Although I've now allowed myself a Christmas six-pack and had one at my first
Superbowl party (just 4 couples and lots of food :-D). (I live in Maine, so it
ended on a bad note.)
My wife (USC) doesn't drink much and only drinks coolers and, thanks to my
influence, hard cider.
There aren't many ciders around here. Tried a local organic cider that was
more like an apple wine, but didn't like it.
Both my wife and I like Woodchuck Amber (from Vermont),
which is a clear, medium-sweet cider. It's not as nice as my UK
favorite* (and my wife's since she's only had a few :-) ) whose name
I can't bloody** remember right now but it's not a Weston's cider.
The Woodchuck Granny Smith is drier. It has a nice smack but
neither of us liked the aftertaste.
Haven't tried Hornsby's yet, although the local supermarket has some.
I've also found that regular US cider ages nicely in the fridge.
Colin
* I'm deliberately changing my vocabulary and spelling to US English
although not my pronunciation.
** Except for swearing.

Green card production ordered 1/22/2008.
Just hope it doesn't take over a month to arrive like the EAC.
-
<Lots of stuff with me upset>
Colin
My EAC arrived today!
Postmarked November 14th!
Should I have received a separate notification letter?
If my Adjustment of Status doesn't go through before I need to renew, will I need
the separate notification letter at the time I renew or is the letter with my card enough?
Is there anything else for which I'd need the separate notification rather than the card?
Well, I feel a lot happier.

On November 15th USCIS supposedly mailed me an approval notice.
Online status had previously said that on November 9th card production had been ordered.
I haven't received either the approval notice or the card.
I _have_ received a notice about the transfer of my AoS application to CSC.
It's now been more than 30 days since approval so I called USCIS and was
told that it has to be treated as a lost document and I need to apply again for the EAD.
Please don't tell me that I'd have to pay for the EAD application this time.
I phoned again, wanting to confirm that the address on the EAD application hadn't
been changed. Anyway, this time the assistant at least suggested putting in a request
to check for returned mail and put a request in. To be actioned on January 16th.
Last hope is to check at the local post office. I have some letters to post so it's
not much inconvenience to go out into the freezing cold to ask a pointless question at
the post office.
So, there are a few possibilties:
(1) If I were a cynical person I'd suggest that they did a fake approval to make their
processing times look better.
(2) I've been very unfortunate and two entirely different documents have been lost.
(3) Somebody is intercepting USCIS approval letters and EADs.
(4) Because the US Postal Service holds our address incorrectly (a missing trailing s
on the street name) on their database the EAD system fails to generate the approval notice
and card; but I've had a transfer notice for my AoS since then.
(5) The Post Office is holding my documents.
(6) Both documents arrived but were taken by somebody else in the house.
(Wife is guardian to two retarded, disabled brothers) It's conceivable, but, again,
I've had other documents since then!
(7) Both documents arrived but got lost amongst the other bumf and were discarded.
(8) Both documents were delivered to the wrong address.
I asked whether the EAD had to be signed for on arrival, but the assistant didn't know.
Aarrgh!
Given the time required to process everything it's possible that I'd have my green card
before my EAD if I applied again.
Does anybody know if there's anything I can do to sort this out without having to reapply?
Ok, I haven't applied for any jobs yet and I don't have my own car, but at least if I had
my EAD I could do _any_ work that would bring in more money.
Fortunately our joint financial position is comfortable enough that we aren't getting into debt
while I'm not working. So I'm glad this isn't happening to somebody else less fortunate.
Aarrgh!

I sometimes have tomato juice at restaurants.
I heave a deep sigh. Then I order. Then I wait for the waitress or waiter to say "Pardon?" and glance at my wife.
Then I say it again and it's ok.
One time I spotted the waitress mouthing "tomahhh-tohhh" as she walked away.
Another time the waitress came back with the juice and said "Your tomahtoh juice" as she handed it to me.
Having to repeat myself the first time I speak to a stranger who doesn't know that I'm English isn't uncommon. However, I don't have a regional English accent so I don't think my pronunciation is too, um, quirky
for Americans to understand me. Fortunately, I'm in Maine so dropping my trailing r's is ok. 
I've made a conscious decision to changed my vocabulary and spelling to US English. I live here now
so it seems right that I switch over. Plus, I'll need to do it for my future employment. But I'm not going to change my pronunciation. If my pronunciation changes naturally then so be it. But it won't. 
However, I don't think my wife will want me to change my swearing and exclamation. She's particularly fond of "Blimey!" and "B*ll*cks!"
Oh and she says that she likes it when I emphasize with a repeated bloody: "I couldn't get the bloody, bloody, bloody thing to work!"
Colin
PS Incidentally that "r" in "Americaris a big country" is to avoid an hiatus. It makes it easier to say. Ironically we lazy English often drop our t's and create hiatuses.
Instead of dropping their t's lazy Americans use d's. But not in mittens.PPS According to my wife it's a New England thing to put an r on the end of words that don't have them. People here have idearz.
She also says that she's heard Americans say "Americaris". Again that might be regional. But, Maine is Maine. Everybody not from here is from "away".
PPPS When my wife imitates "English" she sounds very posh. Not in the ridiculous American-actor-doing-bad-posh-English-accent way, just posh.

Yahoo! game.
Both regs in the same room. Her alias intrigued me so I asked her about it.
A short time after that we started chatting.
Bang! (That's the sound of two people hitting it off). :-D

Thanks for posting this!
I have been debating whether or not to worry about the fact that I have lived in Holland for around 11 months.
The thing is this:
For Dutch police certificates (as noted on the supplemental info sheet you got w Packet 3), the US Embassies have to apply for them. In other words, the visa applicant cannot do this since the Dutch Justice Ministry wont send them to individuals.
So I have been wondering whether or not to contact the embassy with the specific info (address etc) they would need should they decide they want to see this certificate. The worry being that if I do, they will be on to this and request it, resulting in a delay. So I share your concern here.
In addition, unlike your checklist, the checklist the US Emb in Stockholm sent out states that you need police certs from ALL COUNTRIES where you have lived more than 6 months (and not one year). However, the supplemental form I received states the one year rule applies.
OK, two quick questions:
1) why do you think they requested it? Was this before the interview? Did they just want to remind you? I have heard of people being asked out of the blue during interviews, ie not even being warned like you were.
i mean, was the only place you mentioned the 11 months in Germany the DS 230 form? Where it says where you´ve lived since the age of 16.
2) Did you have to show it during the interview?
cheers!> my
1) They didn't say why. The letter looked like a standard form "Please bring the following to the interview' with a box marked with an X and next to it some text like "GERMANY police certificate. Please ignore this if you have already applied for one."
It might have been requested because my _period_ of residence was more than a year even though I was only 16 for the last 10 or 11 months.
I did consider putting the start date as the month of my 16th birthday but decided to be completely honest. ;-)
It could simply have been that their data processing program has an automated check that fails to take age at start of residence into account.
2) At London anyway, it's a two-step process. The first step is the document processing. The second is the interview.
In the first step I just handed the certificate and translation with the rest of my documents in the order requested in Packet 3.
So, I have no idea whether they really cared.
(Note: I made sure I brought photocopies of everything and after the lady checked the original documents I said that I had photocopies
and asked for the originals back. That was so that I wouldn't have to get any new copies for the Adjustment of Status.)
What they didn't ask to see was the absolute mass of evidence I had printed and photocopied to show my relationship was continuing.
I spent ages picking emails and taking screenshots from my Skype history. 8-|

It's definitely 12 months. Bruce lived in Germany for 10 months and Russia for 11 months and he didn't need a police certificate for either.
That sounds right. for the UK that is...
Yep -- sorry, should have been clearer that this is the case for London.
Sorry to hear about your issues with Stockholm...not fair at all! I lived in Germany for about 11 months after age 16 and was asked for a certificate. :-( However, that was at the end of a 2 1/2 year period so
it might have been close enough for them to ask anyway.
If you want to be sure you could contact the Embassy asking them to confirm that you won't need them or you could apply for the certificates just in case you need them.
It took 3 weeks for me from finding out I needed Germany certificate to getting the translation returned.

C, happily married in Maine
ROFL --- Nice to see a fellow Brit here in Maine, I was wondering if I was the only one !
There are several of us. londonspod keeps a list of Brits and there were a few in Maine.
About to send of my AOS forms here now that they are complete.I hope it goes smoothly for you. My AOS has only been touched once since the my biometrics on November 1st although my EAD is apparently ordered.
Mind you, they have supposedly also sent confirmation of my EAD approval but I haven't received it yet.
The biometrics at the Portland USCIS office were easy enough: it's conveniently located near the Portland mall. When we went it was empty so I was in and out before my appointment time!
Where about's in the UK are you from Colin if you don't mind me asking ?Well, I was living near Doncaster but I'm kind of from various places. (Services child).
You?
Congrats to you and your wife, long may it lastIan
Thanks Ian.
I love her very much
so I think it'll last a long time. I hope you and Anne are happy too.

We're in Maine and my now wife's divorce decree mentioned an appeal period so in I-129F processing VSC said it wasn't a final decree.
However, in my wife's case (or in all cases in Maine) there was no additional, final decree. So, as advised by USCIS (or whomever she spoke with), she got her divorce attorney to write a letter explaining that there was no appeal and the divorce is final.
So, any Maine divorcees wanting to remarry an alien might want to check their divorce decree and, if there's an appeal period mentioned, get an attorney's letter.
C
I got my RFE in the mail today - I need to send my entire divorce final decree...in my state we have a shorter divorce decree and I had sent that instead of hte longer final decree...FYI for anyone else...I saw another post asking for the same thing...... -
Don't worry, I'm happily married and adjusting status in the USA.
This is just my little tale of woe that might help others who were in my position.
My father was in armed forces and as a result I lived in Germany for a time.
I lived there from the age of 14 1/2 and returned aged just under 16 years and 11 months.
Now the information you'll read on the London Embassy website and in the packet
you receive says something like...
Police certificates are required for each visa application aged 16 years or older. A separate certificate is required from the police of each country in which the applicant has lived for twelve months or more after the age of 16; the period is six months if country of birth or current nationality.
Another bit of text in the checklist wasn't so clear.
So, I thought, I come in just under the 12 months so I don't need a Germany police certificate.
I wasn't sure what to do, but thinking the process of obtaining a Germany police certificate could be time-consuming and a possible cause of delay I decided to call the (premium rate) Visa helpline. Although unsure they tried to help and finally gave me the answer I wanted to hear: I didn't need one.
To complete the checklist my fiancée needed to send me a packet of information. She had done that. On the day I had my medical in London everything seemed to have gone fine and the doctor mentioned the interview should be within 4 weeks of the medical. I called my fiancée in the states and we were optimistic. I arrived home from London and saw the packet my fiancée had sent had arrived. The day was perfect.
But then I saw a letter from the US Embassy in London. I opened it and read it:
it was a request to obtain a Germany police certificate.
****ing hell! ****! ****ing ********! ****!
I said something like the above. Very loudly.
Having read that it could take 4 weeks to process the Germany police certificate request and adding time to get the necessary certifications and translation I was thinking at that it would cause a 2 month delay.
This was in mid-late May. My wife is a teacher and we wanted to marry while she was on vacation so we could have some time together before she went back to work. Also, I wanted my family to come over for the wedding and since I wasn't used to driving, being a commuter using public transport and Maine not having any significant public transport it would be much easier if my wife were on vacation.
So, at that point I was thinking that we had no chance of my moving there during summer vacation so we arranged for my fiancée to visit the UK in July. It would have been much cheaper for me to go over to the US and stay with her, but I didn't have enough prorated annual leave left for a whole week and my circumstances meant that I couldn't justify asking for unpaid leave.
Naturally I was feeling very low and very foolish for not having played safe and applied for the certificate.
I didn't want to take a chance and send the checklist off without having everything on it. It asks you to sign saying that you have everything and there was no way I'd put my signature to a lie.
And so I began the process of obtaining a translated police certificate from Germany. I used the German London embassy website and telephoned the Germany embassy in London to get the information I needed
To obtain the certificate I needed to :
(1) Get a certified application form.
(2) Send the form to the German Justice department in Bonn.
(3) Wait for the certificate back
(4) Get a certified translation.
(1) Get a certified application form.
I didn't have to go to the embassy. They have a number of solicitors around the country who are Honorarkonsul.
They have the ability to certify documents for legal recognition in Germany. The nearest and easiest was at a company in Leeds. The German embassy in London can tell you where your nearest Honorarkonsul is.
So I made a morning appointment with the company, taking my passport with me. A legal secretary had the signed, stamped form ready for me to fill in. I showed her my passport and paid a fee. It was something like #15.
(2) Send the form to the German Justice department in Bonn.
A had a cheque, envelope and stamp ready and I sent the form to Bonn address.
The fee was #11, the official sterling equivalent of the 13 euros. You can send a cheque from a UK bank
in pounds sterling.
It cost a couple of pounds to send it, I think. I could have paid more and saved a couple of days, but given the delay I was expecting I didn't think it would be worth the cost of expediting the posting.
(3) Wait for the certificate back.
I think it was about two weeks after posting the application that I received an envelope from Germany.
The response was so quick that I thought I must have made a stupid mistake with the form or cheque.
But no. It appeared to be a certificate. Keine Eintragung. No entry. :-)
(4) Get a certified translation.
I contacted a couple of the translators listed on the website. One wasn't available but another was.
(By the way, don't phone her number at night. I was expecting an answering machine and she answered and was annoyed . Oops!
)The next day morning I phoned the translator and she told me to send a copy of the certificate and cash or postal order with the fee. I think it was #10, but I'm not sure.
I sent the copy "signed for". That was a waste of time. It still hadn't appeared online on the Royal Mail website when I received the returned translation. I lived with my parents and had them phone me at work when it arrived and got them to check that it contained a translation.
I then immediately phoned the solicitors in Leeds to arrange an appointment to have the translation certified. I was able to get an appointment for the next morning. It was another #10 or #15 pounds. As instructed by the translator, I took both the translation and the original certificate with me to the solicitors to prove that the translation was of the same document. The legal secretary attached a certification to the translation and stamped it.
(Just a note: when several sheets are stapled together you must keep them stapled together for the document to remain legal. A folded corner and stamp across the staple will show that they are associated. I was careful about this.)
With the translation in my possession I was then able to sign the checklist and send it to the embassy.
From receiving the letter requesting a Germany police certificate to sending the signed checklist had taken 3 weeks exactly, and that included a day lost to a Bank Holiday.
Our hope of being able to marry during the summer vacation was restored and sure enough I got my visa in time,
thanks also to my employers, with whom I'd been open about my visa process, allowing me to leave with less than 4 weeks notice.
The lessons learned:
(1) If you aren't sure whether you'll need the police certificate apply for one anyway. It'll save the future delay.
(2) Don't bother with the visa helpline.
(3) Germans really are efficient!
