Hey,

Go to this link and it tells you exactly what you need to take to the interview.

http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/iv/docs169.html

The embassy will send you a package and in it will be the checklist which you send once you have the documents, but it also has a list of forms that they want you to complete and send back asap. Make sure you read carefully which one you dont sign until you get to the embassy, and I recommend you to fill the forms out on the computer. IIt saves time processing on their end, and it prints off a barcode on one of the forms.

Also, something I did, was even though i actually didnt have my police certificate, I knew I would be receiveing it in about 14 days so I sent the checklist off anyway, saying that I had everything to speed up the process.

It takes a while for then to contact you with an interview date, and I just received a letter stating a date and time of when it was. No phone call.

On the cover letter I sent with the completed checklist, I did actually put... "While I know that I cannot request a specific date for the interview, I would greatly appreciate it if there was any possibility of scheduling my interview for mon or tues as early in the morning as possible..." And I did get my interview on one of those two days. Maybe just a coincidence, but it doesnt hurt to ask.

Hope this helps...

I have seen some people call the checklist by the term IV-15 but I can't find a download for a form called that (the link for IV-15 on the Embassy website is just the explanation sheet of the documents required; i.e. - how to get your police certificate, etc. - not an actual checklist) :help:

Where?

As I stated above, the Embassy website lists the IV-15 but when you click on the link it just takes you to a sheet of instructions. No .pdf file checklist. Clarax stated the checklist looks like the instructions but has boxes next to the paragraphs. Do you know of a different link that will let me download the actual checklist?

Rebster,

I really dont think they have the "actual checklist" for you to download.

You just have to be content with the information we have already given you, and start collecting that, and when they do send you the package, you will see that it really is the same.

I've just been through the same process and trawled through the whole US embassy-london website. Just try to be patient, you will get your package soonn.

Coolio.

Thank you for positing that. I have been wondering exactly what is on that checklist. You are a star!

G

Here are two very good links... someone was nice enough to upload their own London Packet 3 & 4 (even the envelope the packets came in). Packet 3 has the checklist similar to the one Jaylen Brit posted…. It’s nice to see what to expect and gives you little head start on colleting info they’re going to need.

http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=13

London Packet 3 (8 pages total)

http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=14

London Packet 4 (11 pages but 3 some are copies)

Met Bindu for the 1st time at School/College & ended up going to the same Uni (not planned). We fell in love by the end of uni. I had my greencard (via family since I was 16) and was about to lose it if I didn’t move to USA. Bindu and I decided we'd be better off in America so I moved to charlotte Nov 2000. We never imagined we be apart this long (5+ yrs now)… maybe we made the wrong choice, but I doing really well as far as work and we still love each other like crazy even though we only see each other 2or3 time a year…. thank god for telephones and internet. Its taken long time for our I-130 coz when I applied I was a geencard holder not a citizen. We’re hoping it will be all over soon (by August 4th 2006 my b’day, would be best gift I ever got) and Bindu and I will live happily ever after.....

Time Line -

11/20/00 - Moved to Charlotte NC from London on Greencard

02/20/02 - Married Bindu here in Charlotte (Small court wedding, big indian wedding planed for 2005)

I-130

6/25/02 - Filled I-130 for Bindu from Charlotte NC (Me still on greencard)

1/20/06 - I became US citizen

04/10/06 - I-130 - APPROVED by USCIS

NVC

05/05/06 - New NVC case numbers entered into system

The * is referring to a note that states you must have the original of these documents but that the originals will be returned if you bring a copy as well as the original to the interview. ;)
