The 2008 United Kingdom Interview Thread!

[Jeraly 4]

Yay to all the new approvals

Jeraly, without sounding stalkerish (lol), were you wearing a blue cardigan, blue jeans and a flowery top yesterday for your interview? (if so, I was sat on the same row as you but at the otherend besides the interviewing booths)

YES! Kinda - Blue jeans, skanky brown trainers, kinda a grey/blue zip up cardi and a cream top with turquoise and brown flowers at the bottom

Ha, thats so funny. I'm just a nosey person so whenever an immigrant visa number was called I looked to see who was going. You were the only young one that got up when a number was called so I assumed it had to be you. We were literally sat 7 seats apart. You literally looked as terrified as me

Haha - I looked as well cause I was thinking of you but I had no idea what you looked like or I would have walked over and we could have panicked together!!! What time was yours?

My queuing time was 9.30. Got into the building about 9.45. Then my number (5018) got called round about 10.30ish. I should have guessed it was you on the end cos everyone else in the embassy looked relaxed....apart from those who were called up for immigrant visas

Did you have your medical soon afterwards? I had to wait round til 2.30....though made the big error of turning up at the Knightsbridge doctors at 2.10 when the medical is blatantly not there, hence a mad dash back up to bond street ensued.

Oh- and I had longish straight brown hair and was all suited and booted (black skirt, grey top, black coat) incase you have a vague recollection of those sitting near you. Unfortunately I didnt get the memo about being dressed down...soooooo wish I had as I would have loved to have wore jeans cos I was uncomfortable all day, ha ha.

Oh you were the time slot after me!! I was so surprised to see so many relaxed people as well!!! I was cacking myself!!!!

I had my medical the day before so I didn't have that to worry about - that was worse than the interview though I was less nervous about it!! Did you have the scary Asian lady doctor?!

I have a question.

My UK fiance says his interview is going to be in MANCHESTER, not LONDON!!!!!

Is this for real? Can he really get his interview and all in Manchester? He says he called the American consulate in Manchester and asked, they called him back and they said OK. It's just a short bus trip for him rather than the ordeal of going down to London.

Is it really all right to do it this way? I don't want any mistakes -- we just got out NOA2 and are waiting to hear from London.

It could be possible, but I never heard of it happening before. Even people who live in Northern Ireland have to travel to London for their interview. I'd double check to be on the safe side if it were me.

Yes. I had her. She was actually dead good with me since I HATE needles. Im such a baby and you wouldn't believe Im 26 so she calmed me down loads. But she was very abrupt and kind of barked orders at me a lot - lol. I just did what she said and didnt argue (too scared to). She also had a huge rant to me about 'the youth of today' when I told her I was a secondary school teacher. The guy who did the xrays was hilarious though. He had me cracking up throughout the entire process.

There isn't a US embassy in Manchester. There is one in edinburgh, which is 45 mins away from me, but I still have to travel to London for the interview.

I'd definetly check that out. I suspect when your fiance gets his packet 3, he will have to report to the London embassy.

All the best.

Thank you for your answers. I couldn't believe it when he said Manchester told him he could go there since everyone else has to travel to London. I'm going to get after him to delve deeper into this subject and get to the bottom of it. He's the most stubborn man on earth though but I'll get him to get a true answer. I'll let you people know.

[Toshtishtash 1]

Manchester?

That can't be right, can it? I have never heard of that happening before either!?
