Good luck for tomorrow, Donna! :)

And Techie, I haven't checked the forum for a couple of days, but soooo glad to see that you finally have your interview date. :dance::dance::dance:

One thing, though, is that I'm not sure if Davo's mother will be allowed to enter the Embassy with him for his interview as I seem to remember a sign outside saying that only the person called for the interview could go in. Maybe someone could confirm if this is the case or not?

My visa arrived the day after I had the interview (incredible efficiency considering the slowness of the rest of the procedure) so I've changed my ticket and am flying to the States on Tuesday. hard to believe I'm going to be with my baby again! (L)

Best of luck to everyone for the coming week.

2004

May 17 Did search on match.com. Found no-one in Wyoming. Only wrote to one person in Montana...his name was John. He replied two hours later.

Jun 26 Flew to Missoula to meet him & a weekend trip turned into a five week visit...

Many trips between US, Canada & Europe.

March 31 During a meeting in Vancouver, John proposed & I said YES!!!

I'm sure that only the finace/spouse can go into the Embassy, no other relative allowed. So i'm afraid the mother will have to wait in Starbucks which is just around the corner or there are one or two pubs. Also all mobile/cell phones must be switched off while inside the Embassy.

Can you please update us to add a big fat red APPROVED!!!!! The interview was almost laughable it was so short and sweet. Right now I am still in England with my FI so will write more about the whole experience when we get back to the states on Thursday. Good luck to all of those with interviews the next few days. It really is not nearly as painful as it would seem. Now we just have to wait for the passport to arrive, hopefully before Wednesday so we can actually come home together. Has it taken anyone longer than 3 days to receive it back???

No sleep... nerves... early start... busy train... looooong wait... then... APPROVED! Words honestly cannot sum up how good it feels to know I will be back with my baby on February 16th, 2006!

NOTHING was as scary or bad as I expected, except for one thing: the wait in the embassy! I got my ticket at 9:48am precisely for a 10:30am appointment, and my name was first called to present my papers at 12:15pm! My interview was at 1:10pm!! Guess some days are just busier than others. :) And I'm gonna hear that guy's voice calling out the customer/window numbers in my sleep tonight...

Thank-you so much to all the visajourney members out there - especially in the last few weeks your advice and positivity has meant so much to me. And now I've been through it, I guess I am in a position to give advice, and it is two-fold: 1) TAKE SOMETHING TO READ/DO WHILE YOU WAIT. Better still, if you can, take your fiance(e)! I was lucky enough to sit down next to a fellow K-1 applicant and having someone to chat to really helped make the wait bearable. 2) If you are still waiting for an interview date, missing your fiance, finding things tough, or in any way wondering when, or if the whole process will ever end: HANG IN THERE. When you are finally approved every second suddenly seems worth it. It's a brave choice to put your life on hold and to subject yourself and your relationship to a level of scrutiny that most couples' aren't, but when you walk out of that embassy approved every second of patience is instantly rewarded, and... okay, I'm babbling now. :) But it really, truly is worth it if you love someone.

Please put another approved on the list!

Thanks again, everyone. :) Coming home very soon, Amy! (L)

Aw Jim, that's one of the sweetest things I have ever read on here! I admit I haven't seen your posts before, but WELCOME TO AMERICA and the London Embassy Graduates thread in the UK Regional Forums.

And Donna - Congratulations to you as well!!! (F)
