The 2009 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[miss g 1]

i work for the evil bank that they tried to blow up oops.. i just think its outa hand... i dont go anywhere near protests even if they are "peaceful" because it always turns nasty

[KnightAndMagpie 7]

Good grief, I just read about how bad the protests were.. On Saturday, my friend was wondering, "If they're going after bankers, then how are they going to know who's a banker?" I'm thinking bowler hats, suits, briefcases and umbrellas...I mean, come on . It only takes one or two idiots to screw things up instead of doing something useful.

Anyone know when they these protests are scheduled to end? Hope they disappear by the time the last week of April rolls around.

not sure, but G20 meeting probably wont run past friday.

[KnightAndMagpie 7]

They've apparently finished up and will be chatting again in the fall , and people will be busy protesting NATO in Strausberg in France next week instead. So London should be okay.

Why did Marie620 get denied? I just noticed on Laura's list that there was a denial. I can't see any posts from Marie around her interview date as to why that happened.

Is it unusual to get a denial at London Embassy?

Hi monkeyjuice!

By now you may have already found the answer to my husbands denial. It has been an absolute nightmare! At this stage we have 2 doctors , 1 from the UK and 1 from Michigan that have reviewed my husbands medical results from the panel physician and both have concluded there is nothing wrong or nothing points to any signs of any kind of an alcohol problem. He had to get an evaluation by a shrink that cost us 750 pounds, which even he said my husband is healthy, and that there is no signs of any alcohol problems. Since then , a few days ago apparently the panel physician has now sent my husbands file to the CDC in America so they can review it and tell the panel physician if they think he has a problem, and the Embassy has informed us that they will be in touch once they have the review from CDC ( which is insane) if you ask me, but that is what they are doing. I have also got my senator involved and they are researching our situation with the Embassy to find out why this is happening, since we have proven my husband is fine.

Sadly that is where we are...and still waiting, praying and hoping for some good news soon. On a good note, I am going to see my husband this month because April 9th will be 9 months since we have seen each other....and since we have no clue how long all this will take, if and when we have to file a waiver...I can't wait any longer.

:: Hugs :: I'm so glad that things have started moving again. Nothing is beyond fixing, and I know that you'll come through this. You deserve all the happiness with your husband and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm going anyway, just leaving plenty of time to get there in the morning! mrandmrs - didn't you have your medical this week?

Thanks - was in London this morning and no signs of trouble. Have posted a short review in the medical thread as it was pretty standard!

Yeh I read the whole thread you posted. I'm so sorry that you came so close & got denied over something that you both hoped was buried in the past. It's so unfair.

At least your case wasn't sent back to the USCIS, that's a positive thing. I'm sure the Embassy will read the CDC review & see sense.

Good Luck.
