Great point but of course all my emails are set to receive attachments etc and last night I did send an email to them asking to resend it.

no! The email has no attachment and it's a 'no reply' email address. it says, 'The U.S. Department of State Consulate in London has requested that you send additional documents for your application. Please gather the documents listed below and generate a "Courier-In Authorization Certificate" by clicking the "View Courier-in receipt" button below. Include a copy of these instructions in the list of documents you send to the consulate.' Then you look and there is NO button! that's why I am confused!

Very pleased for you! Me, I started sewing at age 12 as all trousers were too long and it became a good hobby, and I got trained too as a Tayloress, which was fun!

That’s fhe problem, there is no barcode in the email! And there is a lot of text not in the same layout

Yes and at the interview they told me to get three more documents, and to send them through the courier, which I will do as soon as the last two documents arrive from the USA. They have been in the post for 21 days….. next I was instructed to take the documents to the Norwich DX, with the printed instructions and they will securely deliver them to London. Hope it makes sense!

Thanks! Honestly until I spoke to the agent I had no idea! Lol I am 1,54 tall or 5:1 and I sew or modify all my clothes lol…..

I wanted to thank you again for your help! DX eventually called me to clarify things and the second company is subcontracting for them, which is why their name appears in my invoice. The first time I went to the site to find the courier and register, a page opened and there was a message with bold text and possibly barcodes etc. Some was instruction. I was looking at the page while on Zoom with my boyfriend and I decided to read the text better later on. But just in case, I copied and paste the text in a document. The day after when I went back to the site the instruction page was gone and I can no longer get to it. All I have is the pasted text. I read it 100 times and I am not too sure of which part is 'the first page' as the initial formatting is gone. Is this the part I need to print?

I see! Do you think that they would call me to a big depot hundreds of miles away from the final destination,to ask where each garment comes from!?That would be interesting, lots of my clothes are old and many ….I actually made them. One is from my mum and dates 1963. 😂 should I then bring the photos in a digital form with me? Never heard of this but you never know and I cannot risk to leave my clothes here as my body shape and Size is of children….so nothing for adults fits me nicely. 😂

Many thanks! Of course there will be no labels on my clothes. I am sending less than 20 due to the high prices! And I am planning to being familiar objects so we are not forgetting our Italian British background!

many thanks! Could I ask another question as you have made it safely to the other side now? Yesterday I spent a long while asking questions to a rep from Seven Seas Worldwide. He said that 85% of packages are opened and inspected at arrival. Anything newer than 6 months in their view is seen as something to tax. He asked me to ensure I put only used clothes. That would be interesting for wedding clothes which by definition must be immaculate at arrival. Anyways, I am concerned about what can I send safely. I have two full frame cameras, one will fly with me, but the other and all the lenses and tripod will travel in my removal boxes. My tripod is 4 years old but looks new, I am probably adding my invoices inside but I am feeling worried about hidden charges if they think items are less than 6 months old (they are 100% not!). I also worry about vitamins and supplements, of which I have some 10 small boxes (you know, the monthly ones) and they ask to bring only prescription medication? Any suggestions would be great...thanks and I hope you are enjoying your new life there....

I see! Worth checking everyone!

They do but they are also very expensive. I will look for united airlines too as this is mostly what my boyfriend has used. i am curious to see how we will make all this happen - my boxes cannot arrive until I am there and I don’t have a ticket yet as completion for house sale is not on a specific date one can forecast.

Thank you! Yes I did say my visa because (as I said in previous posts) it was mine and not hers that was having delays. the medical wasted two months by requiring a tuberculosis lab test for a non existent lung condition. i will now search for return flights instead!

Yes WE are moving.......this is why I need to wait for the flight.....

hi there! With my lab tests sorted and a couple more documents almost here, my VISA is about to show up in April. So this is a good time to look again at flights for me and my daughter and to see pricing of boxes. I think that after reading the packaging guides from 2019 on this forum Trans Global Express is the best and cheapest. However I am totally confused with their system for quotes and I will have to get into a chat with them. Last year I was able to get a quote but now I am only getting a dimmed page with random numbers. Strange. I am thinking of moving only 20 boxes or so, due to the cost being on average £75 or more each (quote from 2023). Now a quick look at Google flight showed me that If I traveled this week I would be paying £200 to fly to the USA. However in June we are talking about minimum £800 each. We can't move until my daughter's GCSEs (May 23rd) and also my house sale must be completed if possible so I won't have issues with last minute pull outs etc. If you have any suggestions re. couriers and flights, I am open to listen to everyone. I will be bringing documents, clothes, no furniture or heavy items, photographs etc. I cannot put all the important stuff in a single suitcase. I also have 2 full frame cameras - they are heavy and expensive and I don't dare putting them in a ship for 2 months. thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there, so all documents and the extra documents are to go via courier. I registered but for the life of me I cannot work out where is DX? In the list they do not provide a phone number, website or email address. Also when I looked up DX in Norwich (Closest to me) I could not find that company, I called several companies with similar name and they had no clue. So how do I drop my documents to DX if DX does not exist? thanks Courier Selection details Courier: DX Group Address: (MINE) Please gather the documents below for each applicant listed on this page and bring them to the consular interview.

Hi there! I am a little frustrated as I have the embassy letter, so I went to register/fill my DS160 and I got two issue straight away, using Chrome on my iMac if that matters, and then Firefox. 1) The session logged me out as soon as I pressed next after my digital photo was accepted. 2) Despite using the correct spelling of my surname and knowing exactly when I was born, when I went to retrieve the application, I got this message: Please correct all areas in error as indicated below. Once you have finished, click ‘Retrieve Application’ button to continue completing your online application form. Surname does not match. Year of Birth does not match. I tried a few times but I cannot move forward and the help section does not mention this. I am stuck! Any suggestions please? Thanks
