hey...how did our 1/2/08 interviewees do?

I'm getting so scared now. Just remind me...I can pay the fee in £'s can't i? or do I need to get $'s?

Don't know if you found the info you needed regarding the fee, debz. The fee may be paid in cash - sterling or dollar equivalent, or by Credit Card - Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, Discover or American Express. The Embassy does not accept any other credit or debit cards, or personal checks. Hope this helps! Good luck on Tuesday!!! :thumbs:

Quick other question then - do they use chip and pin? Or do you have to sign? I know in the US there isn't chip and pin (although it's been almost a year since I was there so who knows?!)

This may sound really strange but, as far as I know, I am approved. I've heard a couple of people on here say that the interviewers don't actually come out and say you're approved unless you press them for it and I was slightly in a daze and forgot to ask for clarification.

The good news is I gave them all the info they needed and they didn't need anything extra. I am just waiting on (all being well) receiving the visa before I put up my interview experience (I have notes, so won't forget anything!)

It's quite nerve-wracking at the moment, waiting for it to arrive to know it's true :help:

We haven't gotten to using chip and pin in the US yet. You have to sign......maybe the embassy is different though.

You must be getting so excited about Thursday!! Good luck!!
