Hi all,

After returning from a 12 day trip to Mexico with my fiance (and a very bumpy landing in Birmingham after being diverted from Gatwick due to the storms today), i've just been hit by the fact my interview is in one day!

I have one major question - do we sign the DS230 Part B in front of the interviewer? I presume we sign our DS156's at the window when we hand over the docs, but when do we fill out Part B. I ask because I have been refused entry to america (2 years ago and since been issued a B2, and have been assured this won't affect getting the K1), so i'd like to know when this will come up in conversation. I obviously want to be straight abbout it, and I know its asked on Part B so was just hoping someone knew when we signed this so my mind is at rest.

Many thanks as always.

D

I think I signed the DS230 Part B in front of the interviewer. I'm not sure if it was DS230 Part B but my interviewer gave me a sheet and told me to print my fiance's name and sign below. We don't have to fill out any forms at the interview.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi. Came in to share the news. I received my visa today! The visa was issued yesterday and it was delivered this morning at 5.50am. I paid extra to get it delivered before 8am but I didn't expect it to be delivered so early.

Thanks to everyone's feedback here. It encouraged me a lot.

Good luck to everyone on your interviews. :)
