Urgent: Packet 4 and Visa Fee

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Okay our interview is scheduled for Tuesday and for the first time I am starting to panic -- what is in packet 4? My fiance, tells me his letter with his appointment is supposed to contain enclosures and it does not have any. He called the embassy about his and was unhelpfully told "he was sent everything"

I know we have everything we need for the interview except instructions for paying the fee at Barclays -- someone tell me how to do this? We would only know we need to do this because of this website, we have no instructions otherwise. I've looked on the Embassy website and found nothing.

i can tell you about Montral Consulate

It just has the appointment letter for your Interview along with wht you need to bring along

I am not sure how it goes at yr end

Packet 4 is the interview letter confirming the date and time of the appointment and the payment slip for the visa fee. You need that slip to pay the fee, as the teller at Barclay's will stamp it and you show this to the official at the Consulate. It is an official form. DO NOT do what we did-make SURE you pay the fee before your interview date!

But it's not there! THere is no slip!

I don't suppose it's online somewhere?

I think the pack 4 wasn´t delivered, is that it? If that´s the case, your alien fiance better call the embassy and tell them that, ´cus he needs to pay the fee.

I know that in Brasil we just go to citibank and tell them we want to pay the fee for the K1 visa, and they´ll give us the receipt, with a stamp on the back, I do know that you must remind them of the stamp in case they forget ´cus without it they won´t accept the payment, and that you also need to write your name and passport number on the receipt as well.

Well -- we will both try calling in the morning.

First they don't send me the NOA2 and now this - I just hope this doesn't cause any further delays.

It is different for the UK, London requires you to pay your visa fee to the bank directly and then show up to the interview with the stamped slip. They don't handle money.

[Ladylethal 12]

Just what I said, I guess it´s the same in Brasil and UK.

Try going to Barclay's-you can't be the first person in the world to show up without a slip.

Okay Gwen -- can you tell me where the barclays near the embassy is exactly? I'm assuming this is the one you went to?

[gwenneh 7]

The nearest one is at 27 Soho Square. I can't tell you exactly how to get there or how we got there, as we were busy panicking (we hadn't paid the fee, the bank wasn't open, and his interview was scheduled at 9.30 am). It's not far, though, just a quick walk.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I know exactly where that is -- we'll give it a go if we can't get any joy from phone calls/email. Thanks a bunch.

After nearly having a heart attack yesterday about this the embassy informs us we can pay inside -- thank god!

You pay inside the embassy? So they do handle money?
