I don't think there's any way to NOT be nervous going in, but keep in mind that, at this point, it's extremely rare that anyone get turned down at London. Make sure your paperwork is in order, bring something to read to keep calm, bring some British money for the snack bar (it can get HOT in there!), and it'll be over before you know it. I can't wait to read about your results!!!

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone!

Print your photos in color on plain paper is fine - did the same thing for Steve, with dates and locations noted beside each. And it never hurts to double check! So post that contents page!
Make sure you have copies of the orginal app, and most important the support affidavit!!!!
