The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Saff -- listen to Julez about this. EVERYONE is in a state of panic before the interview -- I can't think of anyone who takes it lightly (although Poiteen comes to mind... ). My husband was so sure he would be denied he even started investigating other routes, like us moving to Canada to be his grandmother's full-time caregivers. And he HATED his grandmother.

Bruce was a complete basket case too, but we made it in the end with no probs. Be organised on the day, answer the super-easy questions truthfully, pay the courier and then skip down the stairs.

You can do it!

Thank you I know i'm being silly. It comes and goes. I can't think of a single reason to be denied, but you can't help but worry anyway right? I mean this is the man I love and want to be with...if they said no I would be devastated.

LOL. I've read this thread from beginning to end. It took a while but I did it.

It's one of the questions on Jeralys 'list' that bugs me I guess........"why do you love him?" I mean how do you quantify that? I could list reasons all day long, but I couldn't pin it down to one thing. I love him just because I do. Because he's the perfect one for me. *corny moment* the yin to my yang....

They asked me something similar. My husband and I were originally pen-friends and the CO asked me how our relationship had changed from friends to 'something more'. I just told him that it was impossible to explain and that it 'just did'. He was happy with that answer and didn't push it any further.

You're going to be just fine.

I'm so appreciative of the help and advice I get here. Without VJ i'm sure it would have been a million times harder just to get to this point!

I agree, the advice I got from this forum & the guides were so invaluable. I've no idea how I would have been without this place.

I was very nervious about the interview, even tho I was fairly sure I would get approved.

Not over yet of course. AOS to come.

Saff! <hugs> i know those feelings well... too bad you and Kris didnt have yours the same day (instead of 1 day apart) he's nervous and in all reality the time between now and then is drivng us both insane. we want it done now... so he can get here sooner LOL but you will be fine.. just as he will be... but till you get that approval.. it won't feel real.. i know that all too well

Thanks for all your support - i'm likely to be a basket case by the time the day arrives!

Take some time to read through all the posts here by all the people who were freaking out, convinced as you are that somehow *they* would be the one denied. They all had subsequent posts about how easy it was and wished they hadn't stressed over the interview so much!

Just ask Jeraly and weedebz!

Yep - I was convinced they were going to scrutinise my passport, find out I had been over in Feb, look at the wedding planner contract that said Feb and deny me >< But it was fine I had my letter from my wedding planner saying it was going to be postponed and they didn't look at *anything* other than what I was specifically asked to bring.

Yeah - I worried about that one a bit too - all they asked me though was how we met, where online, if I had been to America and if he had been here It was really easy. It can't be a bad thing to prepare some answers and think about questions like that but like Gillian said - she just said it was hard to explain and they were happy with that You'll be fine

Thanks I think i'm just a naural born worrier. I'm hoping the people are as nice as you all have said they are.......

On a lighter note, I bought my wedding dress on Saturday. It's so girly and I love it
