My fiance finally received p3 from the embassy. woo woo. guess the holidays slowed the embassy down a bit. Juliette, I can send you or anyone else an email with the packet 3 guidelines, if you wanna take a look and see what they look like - maybe prepare a bit? let me know.

Oh yes please, I would LOVE that !!!!! MWAH

Happy New Year! .

Anyone in here using the London embassy know the best way to contact them? I know calling is quite expensive but I can't seem to find an email address. We just want to check up on packet 3.

Sebastian is also worried because he has his medical scheduled before he has packet 3 or his interview date. We have the packet 3 forms anyhow (thanks Shannon and Nick!) but I guess there's a spot on one of the forms where he's supposed to put in the interview date and he's freaking out even though I don't think it's a big deal. It's fairly normal to have the medical before knowing the interview date, though, right? So should we just leave it blank for now? Also, I remember reading somewhere that there's a way to have the doctors vouch that the beneficiary has had a medical without having to redo it in the States during AOS. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I know we should really start reading up on this AOS stuff but I'm in London on holiday and just can't bring myself to do any visa related stuff! I just want to cuddle and do wedding stuff instead . Going back to that now....;-)!

If you leave the travel date blank (so we were told) they wont process it as fast as someone who has an upcoming date, we put January 16 for our wedding date just on the off chance But who knows if it really makes a difference???

email address is LondonConsular@state.gov just make sure you put in the LND reference in the subject line oh and dont worry when you get an email that says its been deleted, they have done that since 7/7 attacks........

Thanks for the embassy info. So at the top of the medical checklist, where it says "visa appointment date", what did you put? January 16th? Or did you leave that bit blank and answer January 16th on another form? Just a bit confused . Thanks in advance!

hi friends - i have some questions about ds-230 and ds-2001.

i posted this question in the foreign embassy forum:

ds-230 - question 10 & 11 - asks for permanent residence in the US and where the green card should be mailed. i'll be moving in april/may. should we put unknown or should we put my current address and update uscis later in both cases?

another question:

on ds 2001- it asks for a case number. i assume that theyre asking for the case number we got from nvc and not the case number from uscis. the nvc case number starts with "prs" and the uscis case number starts with a "wac".

please help. thanks.

sorry, on the medical form leave it blank, then on the checklist form put down the date you have planned to travel/marry.

I would put ya current address and update it later, leaving it blank may delay things a little?

Yep they want the NVC case number

Hey guys,

I just found out a new law to travel to the USA with the waiver program. Now we need an authorisation to travel that you ask online.

Maybe it is a good news for us, cuz' even if you still have to pass the immigration border, you have this document.

What I mean is that I was thinking to go to the US in february if we are not approved before january 15th. I was scarred to get denied, but with the new law it will maybe be easier. What do you think ? Here is the link :
