The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[Sal and Jay 2]

Yes, thats me!! Took a few days for the visa to come through as it was subject to medical and finger prints but arrived this morning. Didn't get a text from the couriers - they just turned up at 8am! Charles

Congrats happy times ahead

This is a happy moment for us, as I have been waiting to write on this thread for months!!! Milena and I are going on the 18th of July!!!! We can't believe it and are so happy.

Thanks to all of you for all your help all along. We certainly could not have gotten this far without you guys!

Wow, Thomas, finally!!! I'm so happy you've finally got your (visa!) interview. It's been a stressful process for you guys, hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here!

Thanks Poiteen!!!!

VJ has been amazing for us, not only for making sure our paperwork was ready as soon as the "next step" came, but also for the support it gives when we were about to give up!!!

By the way, does anyone know how long to expect for the visa? We have learned not to plan too much, but we would like to start making some preliminary preparations. It seems that I recall someone saying 4 business days, but then other people say 1-2. Does it help that our medical will be done well in advance?

Snags can always occur, but we do hope that this thing is almost over! We certainly owe it to you guys for the support!

Cheers!

Thomas (and Milena)

Barry had his interview July 1st Tuesday and received a text from the courier today that his passport/visa will be delivered tomorrow...they say it takes 5 days, but it's been taking an average of 2-3 days...Good Luck!

Great news Coatsy! Hope your flight was great! Welcome to the US!!!

Barry received his visa yesterday morning...has shippers coming around Tuesday. He hopes to fly out next weekend pending sale of his car....

[sarah&rob 1]

Rob had his interview & medical both on June 30th - everything was fine as far as the embassy was concerned & he's been approved pending medical.

The doctors needed a letter from his GP regarding an issue with his eye that he's had since he was little and shouldn't muck up the approval (we hope). He saw his GP soon as we got back to Helmsley from London on July 1st and the GP sent out the letter to the Knightsbridge Doctors on the 2nd so hopefully he'll be getting everything back soon!

*fingers crossed*

Hi There,

Does anyone know what time of the day the SMS text message arrives regarding the courier sending the Visa? We are so anxious to get the visa by Friday as my wife wants to hand her notice in at work and we can start making plans

The waiting is killing us…..(We submitted one missing piece of paperwork last Wednesday).

Thanks for your help..

Regards,

Polarsub..
