Blue Sheeted! What Next?

[one2one 0]

Hi all,

I have been there done that for the CR category at the Brits-Yankeys base. Interview was so so and got blue sheeted and passport back, and instructed to send them a missing document and hasten the meds exam. The question is, with passport in hand and couriering the missing doc and getting them a conclusive med exams results, how is the Visa thingy suppose to get stamped on pass if the pass stays with me.

Sorry y'all i know my timeline is missing, will update ASAP soon as i scale the whole huddle. Promise!

Thanks Y'all

The passport has to be at the Embassy for them to stick the visa in it. There is no other way.

The assumption from what you have posted is that when they have all the documents they require to hand they will arrange for another "interview"

Did they tell you at the interview the visa will be issued when all the documents are with them, or was no decision reached.

The CO was the most annoying bloody yank i have ever had to deal with. After going through the 1st interview, said i needed a 2nd, sat me down for 3hrs after which i was tossed the bluesheet and told "send that -police cert- in and you free to go." Tried to ask her politely and simply said you are free to to go again and again as though on a timer of some sort. No explaination whatsoever. I think CO got beef with a brother. Haha! the bloody yanks! i got nothin but love for them anyways!

Thanks Lansbury for showing concern!

By second interview I take it you were called to a window and handed over all your documents, and then some time later called up again for a second interview. If so that is how everyone is done.

Without a police certificate they are not going to issue a visa or by the sound of it even make a decision. If they were a bit off hand it might have had something to do with you sending the check list back to say you were ready for the interview and had all the documents when you didn't.

What is the blue sheet you refer to, not seen anyone else mention that way on here, and what does it say. Is it a RFE?

Interview 1) called to a window, handed over all documents including spotless police certs from the Met and NPF. Asked by the polite English CO about pending Medical results and likely departure date.

Interview 2) called to a window manned by a female CO the interview proper. Got frazzled by some trick questions. CO said fingerprints for NPF P.C. is flawed. Said superior needs to decide a much too complex case for her person, and said "go sit and wait to be called over for interview 3, this time by the Super", and issue a bluesheet with a check against the required docs.

Interview 3) 3 hrs later (hungry, fuming, and felt like wringing someones neck.lol!). Got called up to same window. CO said nothin other than "You are free to go, call them (them being the embassy courier) and send us a fresh NPF P.C with fingerprints by the new scotland yard". Tossed back passport, circled tel. number on bluesheet for courier service., and i asked wha what ?? said nothing but "you free to go, you are free to go." I was so vexed i had to walk away before starting drama, albeit with loads of questions in my head unanswered.

Unless it is me what you are saying doesn't make a lot of sense. If you have only lived in the UK there is only one police certificate. You apply to the force you live in but the certificate is sent out by the Subject Access Office at New Scotland Yard. The UK police certificate doesn't have fingerprints on it and none are required to obtain it. I'm not sure what you mean by NPF P.C. but if you are in someway referring to the UK Police National Computer printout that is what the subject access office sent you, or to be more precise a statement of what the PNC record on you is.

It sounds from what you saying you were not told that the visa would be issued when they had received the documents they are requesting, in fact in sounds no decision was communicated to you at all. In that case I would obtain the documents and have the courier pick them up. Make sure with them you clearly give a contact phone number and e-mail so if they were expecting your passport as well they can quickly ask for it. It will cost you extra courier fees but if it were me I think that is better than including your passport when you send the documents and it sitting around the Embassy.

The other thing you could do is ring the US phone number 202 663 1225. Follow the voice prompts it is one of those press number games. They can access your file you will need your case number the one which starts LND and hopefully tell you if you should send your passport back with the documents or not. I think I have the right phone number if not hopefully someone will pipe up with the correct one.

Thanks Lansbury you've been of tremendous help. The thing is i required 2 police certificates as i'm a British Born Nigerian, and lived in Nigeria for some years. The NPF is Nigerian Police Force. I'll call that number right away. Thanks again Lansbury, i really appreciate. However what still baffles me is that the Super didn't give a third interview afterall. Did they arrive at a decision and the CO was too uppity to say something cogent? However my medical was inconclusive as i have congenital medical history, so either or i knew nothing was to be issued on the d-day.
