Due to personal reasons i need to delay out interview until possibly feb 2012 at the earliest.

Can i do this and if so, how?

I have already sent Packet 3 in to London, along with DS-2001 but since then our circumstances have changed where i dont want to have the visa issued before feb next year as i would like to visit Texas under the VWP in october for a couple months.

Im sorry if i have been unclear, but it is ashley (usc) who has the doubts, and yes they are simply down to marriage. Nothing else, we are awesome together, but the fact we have to marry is scaring her i think, mainly as she will lose her 'freedom' i guess. She is very independantm and like i said earlier, went through a rough devorce with her parents. So the last thing she wants is, is it was to go wrong in a few years is a devorce. But my view is, why think the worst, we are v good together and it most likely wont even be an issue!!

I am fully aware this is not a period for trial, and believe me when we applied for the visa in january we were happy to marry. But it is not un human to have cold feet about marrying.

After exploring my options i will not be overstaying, no way!!! But i think ill either go out there in October and if we do not marry within 90 days ill return home and see where we go from there.

Thank you for all your responses. I am very grateful for each of them.

Thank you for your reply, i am actually the UK citizen who will be moving.

So can CBP hunt you down and remove you? Is that likely?

This really isnt an option whatsoever in my eyes, but like i say, im just considering and educating myslf on every angle.

OOK, so in general, the over stay is just not worth it. This is what i think also.

Im sure all will be fine and we will be married as planned within the 90 days. But i like to educate myself on every aspect.

Thanks

Thank you!!

The money isnt really an issue. Not totally rushing into a pressured marriage (pressured by the system, not each other) and being happy long tem is more important.

Perhaps we were to keen to apply for the visa, but we have, and im just exploring all the avenues right now. I would think what i will more likely do is go over for 90days and if its not right and ready ill leave and come back to the UK and hopefully apply again in the future.

A mandatory interview? What do you think may be asked in ths?

Ok thanks.

So assuming AOS would be sucessful, what/if any problems may i come across when i remove conditions or later on?

Im not even considering doing this, i just want to say to ashley that the 90 days isnt the final line, in the hope it removes the pressure of marriage.

I met a guy one night when i was in Dallas and he had entered on a year long work visa which expired, and then he married and filed for adjustment....

im assuming this is the same as what i am proposing i may do?

Ok, so i know this isnt ideal, nor right really after all we all go through. But due to cold feet/uncertainties over marriage i need to ask this question.

What happens if we did not marry within the 90 days, could we still marry a couple months after, obviously if i didnt leave the USA?

Ive read about filing the I-130 along with I-485 to enable this to happen. Is this true??

What problems may it cause in the future, if any?

Thank you for all your help in advance...

Im just considering every angle at the minute.

They havnt logged my packet 3 yet, only been a week though.

Although though have logged my medical now so thats good.

How long roughly to log my pakt 3?

I had my medcical on June 30th, just called DOS now and it was all ok. I sent my packet 3 in on July 4th, but they havnt logged it yet....

Our packet 3 was finally logged today, now it's just a wait to see when our interview is Hope that doesn't take too long

How do you find out if and when its logged etc??

I just called NVC and they said i had to call London?! :S

Yeah i guess thats ok.

If they give me a date, ill just have to ask them if i can change it to something after the europe trip, and ill just ask for one beginning of september.

Ben

I sent my Packet 3 back in today. And also had my medical last week.

I have a slight concern though that i put on my cover note that my wedding is gonna be aug 12th. Basically i did this because Ashley is visiting me in england on the 11th for 2 weeks and we;re travelling a bit of europe so ill need my passport!!! so i bumped it up by a month hoping to have it before then, but now im worried im not going to recieve her tax return and i134..... shes still waiting for the transcript.

So if i do get an early interview, i may just go along with a transcript, and her paystubs... (she earns $30000 a month)

Soooooo.. just an update.

Nvc logged my packet on MAY 31ST, and so i booked my medical for the day i get back from dallas - june 30th. I could have had it on the 15th just for those still waiting and wonderings information.

They sent it out to London on June 1st and it was logged at london on June 6th, and then i got my packet 3 on June 11th!!!!!

So all really fast!!!

I am in dallas until the 30th, and although i have all the forms with me and could mail them from here to London, i intend to wait until i am home as Ashley and I are in no real rush for me to move over here.

We have already set a provisional date of OCT 1st to move, which allows me time with friends and family, plus time to tie up any loose ends ect.

Hope you all are well, and i wish you all continued luck and love.

Ben

Yah i got my LND case number so booked my medical for the day after i get back from dallas.

I could have had it on the 15th, but obv not going to be here.

Will it matter that ive booked my medical for June 30th? I know they should have logged my petition by then at the embassy, but if they havnt, will it matter??

Okkkkk so still cant see anything sipped to London from the date they said mine was sent?

Most people aged 18-65 just need MMR and Tdap, plus flu if in season i believe

Thats all ive got done anyway.

Awesome!!

I just did this,,, my petition left NVC on June 1st, so i did it as EXP 31 MAY 2011A and it says there were none sent out to London.... Everywhere else but London isnt on there :s

I got my Tetanus and MMR done at my gp, they said also that my mmr wasnt necessary but they did it in the end.

I also booked my medical for June 30th, i could have had it on June 15th earliest but im flying out to Dallas for 2.5 weeks next sat so booked it for when i get back.

I use lastminute or sta, or even the aa website.

I always fly with aa and now i have enough airmiles for a one way flight for when i move in oct

Do i need to inform USCIS though, seeing as its out of there now and with NVC?!

Ok so the USC moves apartments next weekend, and we just got out NOA2.

So do i call NVC to change the address?

Or something else?
