I insisted that Sebastian bring the NOA2 with him to the interview, and they never asked for it or glanced at it so I'm not sure that it's a requirement at all. It wasn't for London at least.

Deep breaths. It'll all be over soon!

Well done you!!

GET that ticket bought, dont know where you're looking to buy it but I went direct to the airline (British Airways) and they worked out a lot cheaper than some of these "special deal" places that advertise the "lowest rates"

I looked on british airways. 2 weeks ago it was 515 euros Paris/London London/LA LA/London London/Paris, but now it is 690 euros

I don't know why cuz' the petrol is very low these days. Anyway, I will have to buy it today, the cheapest one is with American Airlines...

would it be cheaper to do as two seperate flights ie Paris - London return. London - LA return?

The other thing i found with American Airlines was if i had the return portion date within 4weeks of flying over it saved £120

So maybe have a look at the dates you've put in, spend some time seeing if you adjust them to coming back within 4weeks you get a better price...you won't be using the ticket anyway so does it matter when its due to return????

I have just looked on AA and if you went CDG-LAX via DFW 522 euros...pain having a stopover, but guess London would be classed as a stopover.

or

LHR-LAX direct 391 euros, not sure how much it would cost you to fly Paris-LHR and you would need to check in by 0910hrs but can't see it costing more than 300 euros even with stopping in a hotel @ Heathrow overnight.

For the above i used the dates 27th Feb until 24th March, as soon as i went past 27th March the prices increased real steeply.

Thanks for your replies about the medical, Juliette and Koakland! I also checked some Russian forums and, I think, we should be OK. Just want it to be over ASAP.

My fiancee is not taking her NOAs to the interview. Not a requirement in Russia and I don't see why it would be a requirement elsewhere. After all, if you didn't get approved, you would never be granted an interview in the first place. In general, always check your embassy's website (it will list everything you need to send them/bring to the interview) or e-mail them if you have to.

Try kayak.com - it will check a bunch of websites all at once for you. It helped us find the cheapest rate last time.

I use Travelzoo, good site. The last several times I bought directly on the airline's site though - was a bit cheaper, which is somewhat surprising.

I looked and you are right, but my problem is that I will use the return ticket

I comeback to France in september, I'm freelance and I have to comeback to visit my clients. So to be safe I want a september flight to be sure to have my advance parole in time. That sucks !

Thank you for your advice anyway !!! Mwah

But if you use the return portion in Sept you will be in the same position again when you leave France to return to the US??!!

Sometimes it's cheaper to get flights US-UK-US so that may be worth looking at now for your sept return to France. Get the cheaper ticket to US for 27th Feb and book a whole return flight from US in Sept...also on the plus side if you're not going to use the return part this time you may be able to get your taxes back...

Hope all that made sense
