After TWO trips to the US Embassy today (of which more later), I finally got my K-3 approved!

That's seven months altogether, not bad considering the f'ups along the way. I'll post a full report later, but for now I just wanted to say thanks to all the people that helped me with questions etc. I have no idea how the hell I could have found my way through the K3 process without the assistance of some of the fine folks here.

My interview experience.

And seeing as that's pretty heavy on the creative side of things, I thought I'd just explain about the 'two trip' thing. When I went first time, I got through the whole process without giving them the red receipt for the £63 payment. Being a little distracted at the time (as I'm sure anyone who has been through the interview experience will understand), I didn't even notice. So I finished up, got approved, and went home floating on a cloud. Soon as I get through the door, my phone rings and it's the embassy saying they haven't got the receipt and can't process the visa without it. So I go all the way back (a two hour journey) just to hand this tiny slip of paper to a security guard.

Symptomatic of the whole process as far as I've experienced it, by the way. Stupid little mistakes every step of the way. Thank Christ it's over.
