The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[greeneyedgirlfl 0]

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.

I can't wait for Darren to get his visa!!! You must be so thrilled/relieved (I would be both!)!!!

Congratulations londonuk!!! I bet it feels so good to have that in your hands finally! I can't wait to receive mine!

5.30am though? Wow....

Thanks. It feels soooooooooooooooooo good, doesn't it? I gave notice at work right away.

Yes, it does certainly feel very good!!!!

I tempted fate a little bit.... I handed my notice in at work 2 weeks ago. Last day is on 20th April and i'm flying out on April 30th

What date are you leaving?

Eep, I'm getting nervous! Interview in 2 days. I'm not worried about the actual being approved part, we've been married 10 years, had a green card before, never lived apart and have two kids so I'm pretty sure they will believe we have a legitimate relationship! I am mainly nervous about any delays with the visa, we have to be out of our rented house next weekend (not our choice) and don't want to hang around in a hotel for too long as it'll be expensive and a nightmare with two small children. The fact we can't book our flights until I have it is driving me nuts!

Ahh - sounds very annoying! I am sure you will be fine

I can relate to wanting my visa soon - I am not moving until June 30th but I just want to know that it is out of the way and that I don't have anything else to worry about for a whole short of POE which should be fine as I will have Jeremy with me

I am going to be nervous and sad and apprehensive but I am sooo looking forward to starting my new life - I just feel like my life is on hold at the moment and I want things to settle down.

Debz is on her way to Nebraska now! I am so jealous/nervous/excited!! >.<

I hope she has a very uneventful travel experience...I know she's nervous...but she'll do fine!!!

We've been accepted! I had my interview this morning at 9am. The whole thing only took about an hour, a lot less time than I was expecting. A nice man took care of the documents, and then a very friendly lady asked me the interview questions. The questions were identical to those already described on this thread, so I won't repeat them. Just standard stuff about how and when we met.

Thank you all for your help! Although Sandi and I are somewhat silent members of VJ, we have benefited greatly from all the discussions between the 'regulars'

I know she won't see this until after her interview on Friday, but good luck vibes to babblesgirl for Friday

Good luck to everyone with interviews still to come!

Still waiting to hear from a few others! Updates, people, please!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah - lots of question marks at the top there!!!

Ohhh Julez it is so nice to see your little siggie saying married - how does it feel?! I feel kinda sad that I can't be with Jeremy but then we knew it was going to be like that so... Not long now - a few more months and we'll be together

Aly, I still sometimes can't believe that Griff and I are actually married! It has seriously been wonderful thus far! I can honestly say I have never been happier. My life is now complete.

I feel bad that you and Jeremy have to be apart for now (thank you CSC!) but hopefully the time will pass quickly. I know when we were waiting it felt like an eternity, but since we're together it feels like we were never apart. It just faded into oblivion, so I hope that will happen for you too!

I keep forgetting to tell you that I checked out your wedding pics, and I must say you looked lovely! What a beautiful setting for the wedding too. Looks like you had picture perfect weather and that a good time was had by all! Someday I might even put up a few of our wedding pics, my prob is that I almost exclusively post from work (a big no-no) so hopefully someday soon!

[Jeraly 4]

Hahah - yeah - we were really lucky with the weather - it was in the 70s which was great as there had been two inches of snow the week before!!! Just a few miles up the road was a foot of snow so all in all we got really lucky. I am sure if we had had snow it would have been beautiful as well but we would have gotten cold!!!

I am pretty certain we will fall into wedded bliss of nagging and moaning at each other Does it still feel weird to have Griff around all the time? How is he settling in? I really hope time passes quickly - I gues I just have to work hard and keep busy and keep focussed on the goal
