The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

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 .

Congratulations! :dance:

Good luck tomorrow, Welshcookie!

Hello! Well it's been an exhausting few days. I got "blue-slipped" as we failed to fill out an affidavit of support for my son....don't ask me how I managed to over look that but I did...I KNEW something was missing

Anyway, the courier is picking up the document and as soon as they get it at the embassy they will send out our passports with visas attached. Apart from that it was very simple and we were only there for an hour.

My computer has to be packed away tonight as the removal blokes turn up tomorrow

My wife phoned me today to tell me my interview date is September 30th. I am doing IR1 and she said there was no information regarding the medical appointment? Does this come separately or do I arrange that?

Hi Kirsten....my son is 12. I had in my mind the whole time "2 separate visa applications..2 of everything" the Affidavit of Support just slipped me by I guess....but yeh, if she has her own visa application you will need to fill one out for her too.

Hi all

Is there an updated London interview list/tracking sheet? Im trying to approximate when my interview may be scheduled based on current wait times as I have to give 2 months notice to leave work (ridiculous I know!) .

I tried using the search function but didnt get far, Im probably being dumb lol

Cheers

If you look at the timetimes for IR-1/CR-1 you can filter it for the diferent service centres, dates etc which can give you an idea of when peoples interviews are being scheduled.

Thanks Lauren + Tom. Thats what I was trying to do, I was having problems downloading to Excel to analyse in greater detail than VJ provides, but have successfully done so now

Ahhh as the day gets nearer, I feel like I am about to be sick from being so paranoid! I just got back from visiting my fiance yesterday & discovered my BANK LETTER laying on the desk...I was so upset at myself! I had been so ####### about getting everything together & forget that damn thing. So all that is missing from the folders are my co-sponsor's bank statements & my bank letter...feel like i am about to puke. lol

Oh, my fiance is all paranoid about his chest xray results, since he is a smoker & all. Poor boy...I have been telling him to quit. - He's going cold turkey whenever he gets here. I am pretty sure our daughter wouldn't approve of his nasty habit. But, don't know how we'll handle him being irritable since he's going the turky route!

He seemed a little startled when I gave him the folder with our papers...the flap couldn't exactly close all the way.

Hi everyone! our appointment is Monday the 15th! woohoooo

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

Boobah, why no patches? I know people who found the inhalers that are shaped like cigarettes really helpful, you know when your having a cup of tea, or some other time when the habit is strongest?

My Dad quit cigaretts with the patches and was plenty irratible, I would have hated to see him quit without!

Finally !!! we have been given an interview date of October 2nd 2008!!! We are so excited and can not believe this part of the journey is finally coming to an end!!! Unfortunately Barry will have to stay in a hotel the night before though because the interview time is 8:30 in the morning! Does anybody know of any cheap hotels in the area? Any way can't complain because so many people are in a far worse situation than us.
