As far as I know there's not much the US citizen can do anyway except hand holding.

That's no small thing if the beneficiary needs it

Thanks for taking the time to post - appreciated.. what with me worrying about every possible aspect I'm trying to reduce visiting sites about Visas - but it's always good to read something positive

I'm assembling various things like phone logs, phone bills, messenger logs, emails etc, I have multiple files of Messenger logs (which Messenger used to limit to a certain size before creating a fresh one).. a typical log file is 177 pages (A4 sheets - UK) and represents around 4 days of chat.. now.. how much is too much to take to the interview?

I've printed around 8 days of Messenger chat (from the start) of my relationship with my wife - which equates to 356 pages.

At the interview can I take a laptop instead (guessing not).. would be handy have video on it etc.

And btw anyone using SkypeCallExporter for hard copies of logs (including important calls to PC) and gets an error when trying to run it should note that it doesn't work whilst in a call (I was about to give up on it)

Awaiting NOA2 for I-130 and/or I-129F (possibly around a month away)

Initially I was concerned but to be honest reasonable precautions would seem to limit its spread and from what we hear at the moment the symptoms experienced are generally not much worse than regular flu over here.

The awful news channels here spread panic to fill air time and keep us watching - Sky News in particular is forever using the "NEWS ALERT" banner for everything - anyone remember when a news alert was for something major?

..hmm, who'd have thought there's something I'm not currently worried about lol

..I'm worrying about everything - can't help it (advice for how to take my mind off of missing my wife would be great also but..) I'm wondering the with an estimated time of around a month before we possibly receive our I-130 NOA2 would it be much of a gamble to apply for a police certificate now (if for no other reason that putting my mind at rest - not that I've done anything naughty).

Yeah I would agree - especially the bread.. it was very hard to find good (or I should say something similar to what I'm used to) bread (generally was too sweet and waaay too soft) in NC.. and Baked Beans too.. but that said, could live with it to be with my wife again.

Having said that though.. the amount of butter used is more of an issue I think

Whilst checking various things today - I discovered I'm not on the electoral roll here in UK - anyone know if this will this present a problem at all?

We are pursuing a K3 visa.

Thanks, just didn't look very official

Thanks, your wisdom is near legendary

Can anyone confirm if this site is the correct source for obtaining a PDF of the Police Certificate request formrequired for interview for K3.. I'd like to get it done asap.

Thanks for the replies (really appreciated) - will reply to this post at a later date with the end result.

As the beneficiary what tax information will I need to supply from the UK - and I what point will they require it (still awaiting NOA2)?

No, not been diagnosed as such - GP gave the impression that he thinks it might be.. however I'm not in denial - I just simply don't think my GP has spoken to me enough to make a such a diagnosis - I'm just missing my wife and worried about everything imaginable that could jeopardize our chance of having a future together.

In short I do not believe myself to be suffering from depression.

The public health system in England isn't what it's cracked up to be.

Hi and thanks for all the replies so far - just to clarify (for anyone that didn't know <ahem!>) it is I who is having the possible anxiety related symptoms.. my wife's just tougher than I am I guess

My main concern about it is whether or not it would be considered a "mental" issue, when I'm to be asked at my medical interview about any mental conditions, given the fact that I won't lie and (in no small part) the fact that my GP is bound to have placed on my medical records "suffering from depression".

I do not agree with at all - I am naturally, rightly and good old fashioned"ly" down/sad/blue about being away from the love of my life and worried to death about the stuff that's happening and might happen over there.

Just hope the medical interview doc isn't trained in the black art or NHS diagnosis and can listen to reason.. I'm not sure how much freedom they are given in patient assessment.

PS thanks for the *hugs* Camie - back at you and anyone else that needs one while our lives are being played with.

Hi, my wife and I are currently awaiting approval of our I-130 and I-129 (for K3) in which she is the petitioner and I am the beneficiary.

My wife has had a lot of serious trouble with her ex-husband and subsequently being so far away (I am back in England - while she is in the US) I've had what seems to be anxiety attacks.. aside from worrying if and when I'll get to see her again.

I've been reading up on this site - and as a result giving myself more to worry about.. in short (too late) would anxiety/panic attacks be considered a mental disorder upon my medical interview?

My GP is typical of the type here in London - generally unhelpful and sluggish to help but I've had some examinations of my heart and am awaiting the results of a neurological MRI - so it is documented to some degree.

If I've broken any posting conventions I humbly apologize
