The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

I've seen the answer somewhere but -- what is he NOT allowed to take to the interview? No phone, no watch, no what else? Does he have to PAY to put those things into security?

Thanks, he's wondering.

Anything electronic. that includes usb thumb drives. you have to go to the pharmacy across the street & pay them £10 to hold your stuff

[newenglander 0]

Thank you SO much! Knowing him, he'll hate to pay anything to store things. But he'll have to have at least his watch and phone with him. I'll pass your information along and again, knowing him, he'll try to figure out a way to avoid this.

no problem! I think keys aren't allowed either. So I am guessing all you're only allowed to bring in your papers!

Does airport passport control really care about what sort of airline ticket a K1 holder has? We were looking up tickets to see their prices & one-way cost $1500, while a round trip uis only $818! We're going to get a round trip ticket then! But, I want to be sure they won't give him poo for it when he's at the airport...

No! A round trip ticket is absolutely fine. They understand it's cheaper and many people do book them.

Who has September interviews? Any October ones scheduled yet?

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Boohbah's fiancé's interview is on the 15th September. Haven't seen anyone post any October dates yet!

I am September 5th, seems London has quite alot of September slots.

My Folder of 'stuff' has grown and grown, I have tonnes of evidence and required forms like police certificate etc;. I think it may be overkill so I put in tabs so if they asked for anything I would have it!. I would rather over prepare than get there and be missing something silly.

Good luck with your interview, I had a big folder also and they only asked for 3 Docs, I think the folder scared them lol.

LOL yeah I think Gareth will go with quite a large folder as well as like you all said better to be over prepared then missing one little thing that could hold it all up even longer! We have waited long enough!!!

[Nicoxcx 1]

Good to know I am not the only one, I was starting to feel like an eejit!

Since they go threw alot of cases per day hopefully they will ask for the required forms, and think "her folder is so big lets not chance having to sit and watch her show us everything in it, approve her" I can hope!

We both were allowed to wear our watches inside the embassy. Nick had to put his in a plastic bag with his belt and everything else in his pockets (wallet, coins) to ride through the x-ray machine. She told me I could just stick mine inside my handbag to go through the machine.
