London Interviews 2006 (NEW)

[beaner0500 0]

I'm not sure what time Nigel's interview is. His packet actually got mailed to his parent's address since that's his official one as far as the post office is concerned. His mom opened it and told him April 18. As soon as he gets a hold on the packet I'll let you know the time.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

We now have an altogether better interview date on April 4

YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!

I'm home and happy! All went sooo well and sooo easy it hasn't sunk in yet.

Had an early night last night and was still lying there staring at the wall at 1:20 this morning. Up at 6:30 and off I toddled to the embassy.

Got there at 9 on the dot after an agonising wait for a taxi at Victoria. ZZ Top man and his little mate told me to get in the right hand line. Stood next to a nice South African guy who was a vodka expert and wanting to spread the word to the US!! He didn't have any samples in his bag unfortunately! Got called in at 9:30, followed the vodka man and took a ticket n sat. After about 45 mins I got called up and a nice asian lady asked me for my DS-156!! I said I sent it in, and she said no, they would have sent it back to you, I (in a panic) said nooo they didn't! Then discovered I'd been given a non immigrant visa ticket and not an immigrant one (doh!) Went back and got another number and waited about 20 mins til I was called. Very nice man at booth 14 took my passport, birth certificate, police certificate, pictures and bank details (although he didn't want them all I told him I photocopied them for him, he's having them!) He gave me the courier slip and told me to sit again. After about 15 mins I got called back to booth 15 and saw a lovely lady who just gave me back my originals and took my fingerprints and got me to swear I was telling the truth. She must have seen me having a sneaky peak at my papers cos she covered them up! She asked how we met, when I said online she asked which site as she was compiling a list, but she already had ICQ on it! She asked how long ago we started talking and when we met in person. When I said a 4 year gap she said wow, you waited a while, did you take someone with you? I said no, she said she'd be having words with my mother!! She told me to go to the courier desk and I said the famous line, is that it?! She said yes, that's it (like she'd heard it a zillion times before!) Got to the courier desk and met the vodka man who had been accepted too. Lovely people on the courier desk too who told me my passport should be with me tomorrow or monday! She even looked up the postcode of where I'm staying for me.

I walked out with a big grin on my face, trying to open a door that didn't open and not even hearing the security guards behind me shouting "no! the other door" I just giggled and skipped away!

A BIG BIG bonus to the trip was bumping into the comedian Bill Bailey! He was getting a visa too and everyone was staring at him, poor guy. When I went up for the second booth we passed mid slope and we smiled at eachother!! Hahahaha a small claim to fame but one I won't forget.

I can't thank everyone on here enough for their invaluable advice. I couldn't have done it without your help.

Thanks a million and well done Englishsammy!! VJ's March K1 record is now 100%

Helen xx

Congrats on getting your visa

No. Sometimes less - sometimes more.

Ok guys I totally need some lifting of my spirits... Not to take away anything from all you guys getting your interviews who have been right around the same timeframe as us but I'm starting to get really depressed... The waiting is making me crazy... Crash tries to calm me down and keep me relaxed but sometimes (like now) I can't help it and all I want to do is cry.. I know our time will come soon but it feels like it will never happen. Logically I realize our case is different from the rest because its not just hubby's case but my stepson's as well so it may take a bit longer for them to process but all the same I want a date!!

UGGGH... ok.. I hoped that by letting all of that out it might help me just a bit but.. no luck... and my poor hubby.. feels like theres nothing he can do to make me stop stressing... How can I not? The only thing that would help would be being in his arms...

God I hate this... Thanks for letting me ramble on and have my little breakdown...

I saw many pass me by whilst I waited for my interview date. I kept emailing and still the same reply. Then I got the date and it was only a 10 day wait from getting the email. 8 days from getting packet 4. One thing I was pleased about was how much more stress I suddenly got when I knew when the interview was! I was glad I only had 8-10 days of that! It was much worse than the depression I got waiting for the embassy to notify me. Hang in there, you'll get notified!

We're back home from the Embassy & we are APPROVED!!!!!

My family is so thrilled. Now we got 3 months to pack up, sell stuff, and book our one-way flight to NJ!! (DH's job requires 3-month notice.)

There was hardly anyone waiting in line at 8:30. There were a lot of non-immigrant visa people there though but it only took us appx 1 hour. Didn't ask to see much paperwork either! All in all, it was so simple. Oohh, I *think* there was a model there getting a Visa too but I couldn't tell you who she is though but you can definitely tell she was one unless she's just some fine looking woman. Made me feel all ratty, lol.

Good luck to those with interviews coming up!!
