Honestly the best thing to do is go to the social security office as soon as you can and ask them for a ss number then you'll get it within 14 days. I was waiting for mine for 2months then decided I couldn't be bothered to wait any longer so i went in and they had no record of me. I guess even though i ticked the box stating i wanted a ss number they forgot to process it.. this has happened to a few people it seems.

As for the caution i don't think you'll need anything else. I had a caution for theft from 2008 and the woman who interviewed me didn't ask to see anything regarding it. She just asked what happened and then said "oh well, these things happen"

Good luck

Well.. I had a caution for shoplifting from 2008 and a warning for shoplifting too but only the caution was on my police certificate. Both the offenses were on the subject access though. Stupid mistakes.. i know. I was approved and had no problems at my interview. The lady interviewing me did ask about the caution and I told her the truth then she said "oh well.. these things happen". I never went to court though so i didn't have a formal judgement of guilt. Do you have convictions or cautions?

Honestly, i don't think you have anything to worry about cause they're just cautions. When I went for my interview in London I had a caution on my police certificate from 2008 for shoplifting and the woman who was interviewing me just said don't worry cautions don't matter they aren't a formal judgement of guilt. Just tell the truth and you will be fine.

Although this is not funny for the person involved... While interviewing for my wifes CR-1 in Nairobi, Kenya people were interviewed at a window in a large crowded room with the CO talking to beneficaries via a microphone and everyone can hear others interviews. This one gentlemen had gotten a tourist visa to the US to see a girl and he returned, as he was supposed. They had decided to pursue a fiance visa upon his return.. At the window, the CO kept asking him, "So, you went to the US just have sex?". The man kept saying no and the CO just kept yelling at him, "Yes, you did!". He would say no again and it just continued. "Admit it, you came to the US just too have sex!". This went on for about 2.5 minutes. I found it to be beyond rude but it was funny though...

haha thats funny.. kinda strange and embarrassing i imagine though.

How the hell do I take my cat to live in Florida?

I've rang DEFRA and they just linked me to this:

Which makes no sense to me whatsoever. Can somebody help me please.. ARGHHHHH!!

cheers

Me and my son were approved at the US embassy in London yesterday. It went really smooth even with my police caution for theft.. I was really worried that we would be denied because of it but they really didn't care. yay!!

Eeekkk!! that sucks. I can't believe how pathetic these rioting people are.

I have read that people whose police report says "No live trace" rather than "No trace" get a subject access report. I don't even know what a subject access report is, just passing on something I've read.

Here's some past discussion:

My police certificate came back with a caution on it.. It doesn't say no trace or no live trace.. it just says.. caution. Hmm.. A caution isn't a charge or a conviction. I guess i'ill just see if they request it at my interview

EEEEKKKK!! 8 months thats such a long time. I'm sure it'll go fast for ya from now on Goooood luck

He'll be fine. You can have your medical as long as you have your nvc case number I had my medical a few week ago and i haven't got an interview date yet. Good luck

Just wondered if you're required to get a subject access for a police caution? I'm just waiting for my interview date now and the NVC didn't need it.

Cheers

I'm sooo happy for you YAY!!

Haha.. Thats cos you're a worrier.. unlike me.. I'm a warrior bwhahaha

Me and my husband have a joint bank account with suntrust and I dont have a ssn.. I don't even live there yet. We opened it last year when I was visiting.

Rosy, If he hasn't had all of his jabs before he goes to the medical then they give you a letter to take to your doctors saying "patient has requested to have his vaccinations at your surgery" so that you dont have to pay for them at the medical. When your hubbys had the vaccinations at his gp his doctor then faxes the stuff to kinightsbridge doctors then they forward all his medical stuff to the embassy.. Or he can just have them at his medical and pay for them. tis up to you.. They dont deny you though if you dont wanna pay for them so dont worry your silly little head about it all.. haha

Just curious to what it means..

Well.. i know it means no conviction haha but i just wondered if anyone had the same thing on theirs?

off the top of my head, and my experience, its most likely the misrep charge that you will be given at the interview, that is the hardest to overcome. london doesnt look upon that too kindly, but it is possible to overturn. laurel scott still does her free online chats on a wednesday, and you can also post her a question thru i2us.

my interview experience was not nice at all. i had an overstay of less than 1 year and the c.o. was not the easiest person to speak to regarding this. wasnt interested in the reasons in the slightest. however, i had my waiver package and i601 ready and handed it in directly after the denial at the interview.

good luck.

That sucks We'll probably write our own waiver too.

Its ok I emailed him back. I'm probably just gonna book a skype session with him..

Like advocator said, Steven Heller is more reasonable than most and is very accessible. We actually went to his office when I was over visiting in February. He's genuine and thorough....I can't say enough good things about him. And this was after having a very poor experience with a local attorney. You can speak with him or email and describe your situation - and he will be able to tell you if he thinks a waiver is necessary.

I did email him but he said it was £200 to have an appointment and he's in brighton and thats 4 hour away from me and i just cant afford that at the moment. Can he just do skype sessions? Has anyone wrote their own waiver and ha success?

Cheers

on the knightsbridge doctors website? i cant find it can you link me to it please

Has anyone not needed a waiver with a 2 cimt? I just dont know what to expect at the interview. I'm getting people telling me i'll need a waiver and other people telling me i wont. grr

I have my medical on june 10th and i was wondering if i needed to take some sort of medical questionnaire with me or whether i fill one out there? I read that you needed the IV18a form but im not entirely sure what that is. Can someone help me

We are using Steven Heller and he has been wonderful! Unfortunately, the USCIS is operating at a 9 month turnaround for completing cases. It's all very distressing when you want to be together.

Good luck!

Is he expensive? I'm hoping we'll not need a waiver but its looking that way
