Oh I spotted a sneaky interview as well while updating July spreadsheet - tucson_chick (Agnes & Eric) has her interview on 30/1/08 Sorry - that was the English way but you know what I mean

Bring on Wednesday!!! It's been almost 2 years since i was last at the embassy, im sure they missed me!

The day starts at 2am UK time for me, a long ### coach ride into Victoria Coach station, even though i HATE taking the coach....a £1 ticket for the 2am coach, as opposed to a london hotel, turned out to be a fairly simple decision. And an £8.95 train ticket home wednesday afternoon helps!

Wonder if anyone has ever been declined from London???

I don't like to think of things like that On a positive note - it appears our case has been sent to embassy already!!

Sadly, yes, there have been denials in London. Not typical, but they are usually due to things like a criminal record, or previous overstays and the hardship appeals weren't found to be strong enough. Provided you don't have a dark past or an overstay, you should have nothing to worry about!

Good luck on Wednesday!

£14 for courier

$131 dollars application fee- i realise I can use a credit card but if I use cash does it have to be dollars ?

£180 for the medical.

Is this all the money I need and also another question

You need $131 for the visa and at least £14 for the courier, if you want to specify a particular delivery time it will cost more.

You don't pay for the medical at your interview you pay for that at the doctor's office and mine cost £200.

Don't worry about the G325A, you would have got an RFE for that if it had mattered.

Good luck.

Gillian

Thankyou very much for the info.....I will go get $131 dollars in US currency just incase the card machine is broken.

Also thankyou for the well wishes to both yourself and babblesgirl, im so nervous I could hurl and its three days away hahhahaha.

Don't know London at all and I am no good in large crowds ......hope I don't throw up on the interviewer

U'll be fine!!! London is pretty easy to navigate....

We still haven't gotten packet three...does it locally take more than a week? I told BG to wait 7-10 d and then just call and send the online scanned forms. Speaking of, he said that he was having problems printing them. He kept getting a blown up version of the original or distorted version. Just wondering how other ppl printed the scanned packet 3? Thanks

Thankyou janaus, i hope so, I am so nervous....... I just can't wait to come home. I am heading off tonight straight from work and have my medical tomorrow morning and interview Thursday morning then back home.

wish i could tell the future and not be so nervous.

Best of luck to ALL those who are going for the interview this week ! I hope we are ALL approved.

Thanks for the support everyone, it really does feel so much better being part of a community instead of doing this all alone. Thankyou

the way to print the scanned packet three is to first view it before saving it. Don't save the small versions first as once you view it after saving it distorts. Hope this helps, and im sure someone can explain it better than me. It took about two weeks to get packet three for me.

Good luck

Haha - yeah you're right - It's a July thing - I think I just get all these different groups mixed up and get excited and carried away when I see an interview date of someone I know!!

Well, we're together in London after the most horrendous flight EVER.

Tomorrow's the big day...been two years for us, too, since we've been to the Embassy. Yikes!

[TracyTN 237]

[Jeraly 4]

We just used the online forms from the embassy website I just filled in the fields and printed it, no problems...did not try saving anything as it said that I could not.
