2nd Set Of Eyes

[jkminney 30]

Ok so since we found out only 2 days ago that Johns interview will be on the 5th of March I'm in focus mode. I'm leaving a week from today and I'm taking most of the documents he'll need with me. I would like for you fantastic folks to look over my list and tell me if you think I'm missing anything. I appreciate it. Just making sure all my ducks are in a row before I get on a plane and panic I've missed something!

2009 Tax Return/W-2 + Copy - do you think I should take 07/08 Tax transcripts?

4 wks of paystubs

Letter from Employer

3 Bank Statements

Certified Copy Divorce Decree + Copy

Certified Copy Prev Marriage Cert + Copy (just in case...dont get why they need it but I'll bring it)

Birth Certificate (long form) + Copy

Updated letter of intent from me (petitioner) Does John need to do one as well???

Proof ongoing relationship....photos, cards, emails, chat logs, itineraries

Police Certificate + Copy

Passport

I just feel like I'm missing something!

I know you'll bring it anyway, but it is HIGHLY unlikely you will be asked for any proof of relationship in London. In the 3+ years I've been on VJ, I can think of maybe one time when it was asked for, and in that case the beneficiary was not a UK citizen but from a high-fraud country studying in the UK on a student visa. Once. There have been many, many times people have said "Don't know why I bothered to bring any proof" because it was not requested. Personally, I brought zilch. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're worried about getting your ducks in a row, having phone bills, emails, photos, screenshots, boarding cards, greeting cards, reams of emails and engagement ring receipts should not be high on your list. Bringing the extra two years of tax returns is not a bad idea just in case though!

I know it's easy for me to say it, but try to relax and enjoy your time over there with your fiance. It will be just fine.

I'll second what Maven said. What's on you list plus the extra 2 years tax returns for 07 - 09, have never heard of London ever asking anyone for a receipt for a ring.

Good luck it will be an anti climax, the most famous words uttered by London visa applicants are "Is that it" as you will not believe the interview is finished as it is quick and easy and you are not sure when you are told to go pay the courier if you misheard.

I'm really trying to relax. I know everyone here seems to have a fairly good experience but I just feel ill over it. I know that we have everything in order. I think once I get there I'll feel better. Also didn't help that I have to leave so quickly....I was anticipating at least 3 or 4 wks before the interview. HA! That didn't work the way I was thinkin it would! I wasn't planning on bringing a ton of evidence just a few things.....just in case ya know? A wk from now I'll be on a plane. Seems strange lol
