Oh, yes, got those at a photobooth at London Waterloo ;)

Are they the 2"x2" ones requested, though? The standard UK photobooth ones are not the same size. Although there is a photobooth in the Embassy that produces the correct size, people have reported it being out of service.

Well, the ones I got at the photobooth are passport photos, and those worked last time for the DS-156 when I applied for the B2 visa.

Hey all.

Today I have sent off the following to the US Embassy to resume the K1 process:

DS-156 (2x) (and not signed, did I do both of those right?)

DS-156K

DS-157

DS-230 Part I (page 1 and 2 are filled out, page 3 and 4 are blank, did I do that right?) (This was the only form that I did sign, did I do that right?)

And the Checklist back saying we are ready for our interview.

I assume I did not need to send anything else out for this part of the stage?

Thanks for any replies/advice/help :)

Hey Jakey Matey,

Sounds perfect, I sent the same in on the 17th of January. Doesn't it feel good to get it off & away. I was happy to see it go =)

I used recorded delivery to be thorough & now I wish I had used UPS because when I try tracking it online on www.royal mail, it doesn't recognise my ref. number.

SO annoying because it is the correct 13 digit number, it's driving me nuts... I am going to try calling the embassy tomorrow to check they received it.

How did you send yours? I did my forms just the same as you did...

Also, may I ask, when did you request your police certificate? Did you go into a police station in person? As I was in NY for pup's (my fiance) b'day & Christmas, I sent mine in the mail. As I couldn't do registered mail from the states, I now can't check to see whether they've received it or not =( It's making me really worried....

Just trying to figure out how long it took to come, seeing as we're on the same time scale. I haven't sent in my four pages requesting the interview yet. Want to get the MPS receipt & will send then. Only thing is I wish to travel at the end of Feb & so need it asap...

ARRRGGGHHH

On a brighter note though. I had my medical today & all went well. Sorry, it's not on the timeline everyone, my fiance's in charge of that & he can't see the gap for it...

It was a fast & pain free process, well, minus the needles I guess... If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I was done in less than an hour. Only needed one vaccination so that was good & fingers crossed the Embassy will have the results by Friday =) Yippeee... Bring on the interview... I'm on a roll now...

If anyone has any tips on how to speed up the process for getting a date please share as I'm going around the bend here on my own, missing my puppy

Good Luck everyone...

They are very specific about the US passport photos, the standard UK passport photos are a totally different size. We went to snappy snaps to get them TOTAL RIP OFF!!! But they are what they asked for...wish I had done this though...you can make your own for £3.00.
