Any London interviews for Nov or Dec yet?

[missy_antha 0]

Has anyone who sent packet 3 back in October had an interview date yet? I sent my back Oct 12 and looking at Time Line histories it seems to take between 6 -8 weeks from sending it off it the interview date.

My dilemma is that I would like to fly to the USA 2nd Jan. I am going to rent my house out and I need a month I think to sort the house to look it's best for renters, pack my stuff to have it shipped, catch up with people, plan my wedding and also Xmas falls in the middle.

Therefore I need to finish work on 2nd December and I have to give a months notice, which means I need to resign this Friday.

I'm just paranoid that I resign and then my interview doesn't come through until January, which means can't leave 2nd January so I could have worked longer and saved some more money.

What does everyone think. If I take the risk and resign do you all think my interview will be before January?

Opinions greatly appreciated.

Also my Wedding is planned for Vegas 17 Jan 2007. Deposit has been put down but the date can be moved if needed. A lot of my family and friends have surprised me by saying that they would like to attend. I've told everyone not to book anything until I know when my interview date is. Do you think once I know when it is, it would be safe for them to book their flights?

I know it all depends on me passing the interview, but I really can't see any reason why I won't. Had my Medical yesterday which was fine - At the new Medical place on Bentinck Street. First day they opened. Also just to let everyone going through London know. The blood it tested for HIV and Syphilis only. Nothing else at all is tested for.

Drugs, other diseases etc they just rely on you being honest on the questionnaire as they can't ask for your Doctors records either. Very chatty Doctor I had. I'm not sure he should have told me all of that but might make some of you feel better about the Medical.

Hi Sam

Well, I sent packet 3 off on 18th October, and I am hoping to have my interview shortly after 12th November, I plan/Hope to travel to the US on the 18th November. I would think you will easily make the wedding! Mine is on the 1st December (wedding that is) and I only have 4 weeks left to make it!

If I were you dont get anyone to book flights until you have your date, but all my family and friends haver theres booked, so who am I to say!

I will post when I get my interview date, you should only be about a week behind me.

Good luck!

Oh, and the Doctor tol me that they test for HIV and Syphillis and ANYTHING else the see as appropriate. I guess if you look dodgy they could test for anything!

Hi MariaDane.

Yours was the only one I can see for November. Good Luck for Friday!

Clarebumba I posted my Packet 3 back a week before you did, are you getting nervous that you aren't going to make it in time?

I've told all the friends and family not to book anything until I know when the interview is. However I'm wondering if I should make them wait for booking it until I know that I've passed and not just when my interview is.

I asked the Doctor what they test for and he said Syphilis and HIV. I said I'd heard they tested for other things too and he said categorically no, they didn't as they didn't have time to test for anything else. I said so I couldn't be denied due to anything they found in my blood besides those two things and he again reiterated that, that is all they test for.
