The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[boohbah 0]

So whats the odds of them asking for bank statements? My co-sponsor kept putting it off until this past Saturday & they have to "request" them & it's going to take a week. I go to see my fiance on Friday to give him all his papers & spend one last time in England (it'll be a long while before we go back!).

I'm super paranoid about it. She managed to gather everything else though (pay stubs, bank letter, employment letters, w2, transcripts). Need I say, she did drag her feet until I told her (last week) about my upcoming trip ! Sheesh!

I reckon you will be fine, we are using everything you mentioned for ours to and you have more than enough.

I have a possibly silly question, they accept GBP at the Embassy right? for the Visa?, I have had trouble spending notes that say Bank of Scotland on them in England and Vice Versa, am I better off going to the travel agent and getting dollars? if so how much do I need?

Yes they accept GBP at the embassy. You shouldn't have problems spending Scottish notes in England! Its legal tender. I know how it is though, I had a few places not wanting to take my money in London. The same people would expect to be able to use the bank of England notes north of the border though...

Nicoxcx - if you want to play save you should be able to walk into any High Street bank and simply exchange Bank of Scotland notes for Bank of England, especially if you bank with them. There's a Lloyds TSB two minutes from Bond Street tube on Oxford Street.

Thanks for the info Paul, someone else told me the same thing.

Strange thing is I noticed all my fivers say Bank of England but the 20 pound notes say Bank of Scotland and/or Clydesdale! anyway time for me to leave !

Thankyou, Just got back today and I was Approved! Woohoo!. took 3 hours mind you, and most of that was waiting in line, the interview was pretty much a doddle the lady I got was very nice and having a laugh with me, trying to catch me out but asking me the same question about a date or year later on in the conversation. She said its approved pending Medical results and said to me if I am as healthy as she thinks I am I will be absolutely fine .

I don't think it gets posted anymore. It's been a couple of months at least since I saw the list.

Good luck on your interview. Glad you got it all sorted out...the missing I-130 file and all.
