London Interviews 2006 (NEW)

[pax 0]

I'm looking at the list of interviews.....could anyone inform me on why cmltdg,jpkeswim,Mary&Tom, and TrueloveFL are Pending? Why didn't they approved, if anyone remembers?

cmltdg, jpkeswim, Mary&Tom: All pending I-601 waivers, taking anywhere from 4-12 weeks to process in London.

Trueloveinflorida: Was not given a visa pending additional evidence; we never did find out why the CO requested the evidence or if he was ever issued the visa. We keep him up on the list in hopes that someday we'll find out what happened.

Congratulations on all the approvals today!!! That is AWESOME!! You must all feel amazing!

Good luck to everyone with up and coming interviews

Oh and thanks everyone for putting my mind at rest with the pics and medical questions!

Also approved today for immigrant CR1 (DCF). Would have been a great experience except the medical results hadn't made it over from the doctors at the time of the interview so I was a little down and concerned (medical was a week ago to the day). I got out of the interview and called the doctors and had them chase things until they confirmed the Embassy had them. Then I actually went back into the Embassy after lunch and confirmed with my interview officer that it was all ok now! Phew!

You can read a very in-depth report HERE if you like.

Congratulations to everyone else who made it through - wish I'd known who you were in there but I just played my PSP discreetly while I waited!

I've been told the visa is coming between 6 and 8am tomorrow morning (I paid for the courier upgrade) so here's hoping!!!

Getting nervous about our interview next week..

I'm looking at the list of interviews.....could anyone inform me on why cmltdg,jpkeswim,Mary&Tom, and TrueloveFL are Pending? Why didn't they approved, if anyone remembers?

Tomorrow it will be two months since they received our waiver forms and letters. We were told at the time that it was taking two months. I certainly hope they call this week. I am scheduled to fly back to the states on Tuesday and I don't think I can do that now. I can change my return flight at a cost of $200. I may do it.... but I don't know how long to extend. If they approve the waiver then Tom wants to get to the states as quickly as possible. This has dragged on so long.... we are both exhausted at times. The longer we wait, the more we become dissatisfied with our hardship letters.... too much time to overthink things. I wish we had talked more about our relationship and how desperately we need to just be together living our lives... without all this stress of being in limbo.

If anyone wants to know why we had to file the waiver, here is a link to to the post I wrote after the interview.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums2/index.p...c=43106&st=2160

I haven't been participating in the forum much lately because its rather disheartening to be at a standstill with no assurrance of a positive outcome.

I am grateful for this time that we have had together. We needed it and it has only reinforced what we already knew.. that we will spend the rest of our lives together... somehow. I just can't bear to think about a possible denial... it would be devastating.

Hey guys.

First things first...Mary, I wish you the best of luck. Your story sounds entirely unjust in every possible way. It's just not right for him to have to pay twice for something he was never guilty of in the first place, especially when it involves separation from the people he loves. I'll be thinking of you and hoping that maybe tomorrow something will arrive in the mail for you.

To all the other recent approvals...congratualtions to everyone...it certainly does look ever so nice to see a nice long list of RED approvals!!!

And hey, Rich, I just had to laugh when I read one of your posts as my fiance Andrew said he was doing the very same thing while waiting at the Embassy...just sitting there quietly playing his PSP. Too bad you guys weren't there on the same day...you could have swapped games! I must admit that if anything is to get between us in terms of marital distress it is more likely than not going to be because of that stupid PSP

[Estella76 0]

Mary,

Just hang in there. Please keep in mind that the Holidays and the New Year where everyone was on mental or physical Holiday, really seemed to have put the embassy at a standstill. If you even look at when people submit their Packet 3s and then when they are getting their interview dates you can see a marked delay than there was even just two months ago.

Second guessing what you wrote will not do much more now but make you worry. You know that no matter what you WILL spend the rest of your lives together no matter where it is, so please try to relax, I know this is easier said than done. But I am sure the love you have with Tom that is pouring out on these boards, poured out in your appeal no matter how you wrote it, so have faith in that. It WILL all work out I promise you that.

Weebeansy, I actually broke up with my last boyfriend because he was so addicted to his PS2 and computer games that I swear he wanted to just jump in the screen and live in that world! But he never would have went through all this visa hell that your man went through. And if he went through with that to be with you, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Besides those things are really easy to "accidentally" step on and break

Please add a big fat APPROVED after my name!!!!!!!

I'll write more about interview in a separate posting.

Can't believe it!!!!! I'm going to be with my baby again next week!!!!!!!!

Good luck to everyone else who's still waiting.

Congratulations!

Our interview is on Friday so I'm checking over all the paperwork. I didn't keep a copy of the checklist from the embassy but this is what we will be taking:

Passport

police certificate

birth certificate (long form)

I-134 plus supporting documents, tax returns etc

visa interview appointment letter

receipt from paying for the visa at Barclays

3 US-style passport photos

medical results in sealed envelope

NOA1

NOA2

Plus one copy of all the above, except medical results.

Plus additonal evidence of relationship: photos, emails, engagement ring receipt etc.

How is that looking? Can anyone think of something we are missing?

Also, we must remember our beer tokens so we can (hopefully) go and celebrate when we get out of the embassy

Thanks for any input!!

Steve

Steve

Everything looks fine to me, Just make sure you have copies of everything that is on the list. Your I-134 is notarized. Best of wishes for your interview

Steve100100,

Just in case, do you have a letter from both of you affirming your continued support of the K1 visa process and intention to marry within 90 days? I thought I read somewhere you need one, but please correct me, somebody, if I'm wrong.

My interview is next Monday. I'd love if anyone could give me any idea of how much evidence of continued relationship I need to take - I could seriously fill a small caravan. How does three emails, birthday/xmas cards from my fiancee and her family, engagement ring receipts, some USPS mailing forms from stuff she's sent here, and three phone bills from the last eight months sound?

Oh, and is there any need to take the whole 'evidence' packet we prepared when we sent the original I-129F? Or are they only interested in evidence since we started the K1 process?

Again, thanks for any advice, and thanks to all the VJ-ers who have been posting their interview experiences on here. It such a help to read so many GOOD THINGS about something that, right now, seems only a little less frightening than a dentist with a guide dog.

(No offence to any blind dentists out there.)

Good luck everyone!

Jim
