Yay!! So good to see her name APPROVED on that list

Definitely an update that couldn't wait!

[Jeraly 4]

Indeed! Might need to update again (or at least re-post) when she shows up Wednesday morning so she can see it for herself I am soo jealous/excited! I can't wait until I get my name on the list with a big APPROVED!!!! next to it!! It will symbolise the end of the first part of my journey and mean that I can concentrate solely on moving then

Woo Hoo Debz, congratulations

Knew you would do it. If they gave me my visa with my problems then I knew you would just sail through!!!!

Congrats to you too Cheryl and Josh

Anyone know what happened with Tinkerbelle? I see she was online yesterday but no news I see. Hope it all went ok for them.

Hey!

I just found out my interview has been scheduled March 10th at 9:30am. I have a problem though. I am meeting Rory in Mexico Feb 27th - March 9th for a pre-wedding honeymoon and I put this down on my packet 3 info. The trouble is I just realised my flight doesn't land in England until the morning of the 10th - way too close to the interview time. So annoying.

Has anyone received packet 4 then asked for the embassy to change the date? Should I write back to them explaining and also send them an email. The last thing I want to do is annoy them or delay the interview much longer - I wish I could call someone and speak to them about this. I could cancel the flights but would lose all the money. Ahhhhhh

Thanks for your help

I don't know about asking the Embassy to change the dates, but I can't imagine that's very easy!

What happens if you return from your trip early? Does the airline penalize you for changing your dates (rather than fully cancelling?) I know that US airways charges you $200 to change the dates, and also charges you the difference for the new flight, but I would think that would be less expensive than cancelling your trip entirely...

*edited to add Congrats on getting the interview date! * :)

It definitely can be done. You should immediately call the Embassy "extortion" line and explain your situation. They will give you a special code to reference in the body of the email you send to the embassy, otherwise you probably won't get a response - you might, but with something this important, I'd pay the fee to get the code! Juast tell them you need an alternate date and time, and they should accommodate you!

Make sure you post your new date and time and then I'll add you to the list!!

Good luck!!!
