Congratulations , first of many this week hopefully.

Clamping down on taking phones to the embassy is new. I didn't take my phone last week but everyone around me did and I wished I had since I had to bag and store my car keys in the hut anyway (they had a USB memory stick on them).

Congratulations P&P and also to Steve & Stacie who were also approved yesterday!

[Glyn and Kathy 288]

Congratulations to everyone. We won't be online for a bit as we leave tomorrow for the US and I am not sure when we will be hooked back up to the internet . Good luck to everyone with interview dates approaching.

I get worried whenever there is a suggestion that the embassy is going to start having a problem with people checking their mobile phone in with security before their interview. I regard this as a safety issue for those of us who have to travel a long way to get to London using public transport and am used to checking in with my Mum regularly to reassure her that I'm alive and well. Does anyone have anything concrete on this issue?

Also, big congratulations to the recent approvals and my best wishes for those still waiting to hear.

Hi all. I think i've only posted once previously here, but advise etc has been invaluable. I had my interview this morning and was approved pending fingerprints not being dodgy (which I guess is normal??)

There was a definite 'no phones or any electrical equipment' policy in force today. The policeman outside said this was quite recent and you would definitely not be allowed in the building with anything electrical, even car key fobs that are battery powered etc.

I did have my mobile with me, and was directed to go to the chemist just down the road, where you can drop your phone/electronic items for collection afterwards. They charged me £10 for the honour... great work if you can get it! My phone was absolutely fine there, and it looked like they were doing excellent business lol.

I hope that's some comfort for anybody who needs a mobile with them for their trip to london.

Matt

Congratulations to everyone who has had sucessful interviews over the last few days. Interesting update on phones at the embassy I'm super glad that I'm traveling down with someone now.

I did have my mobile with me, and was directed to go to the chemist just down the road

Well, that's a relief that it is really nearby! I had to text my Mum about 20 times when I went up to London for my medical to reassure her I hadn't been mugged or something.

Hope you get your visa delivered soon

The new phone rule:

I'm planning to be in the UK and go to the interview with my fiance. Now I've decided to sit in the park with a big rolling suitcase and a sign that says, "I'll hold your phone for 5 quid." That should take care of the train fare and hotel.

They must have just changed that rule it was fine when i had mine.

Its a little inconvenient to say the least. DW wants to come with me for the interview (If and when we get scheduled) leaving stuff somewhere will be fun
