We left ours blank too, although I suspect we should have thrown something in there. Returned packet 3, 15 days ago. DOS says Pat is approved for an interview but no date has been assigned yet.

It's nice to see you got a May interview PB&JAM, some friends of ours on here (stardust86) got a mid-June interview which seems like forever to me.. I'm hoping we get May.

Hey folks, just to let you know my visa arrived on Thursday 23rd April. Yeehaaaaaa! You can add me on to the April list of approvals.

Doh. I had my interview in March so probably best to add me on to the March list of approvals and not April. Wouldn't want to confuse myself or anyone else! (Talk about visa brain :wacko: )

Miss g is from South Africa isn't she? She wasn't put in AP.

Two more from last year who didn't get put into AP -- Poiteen (Ireland) and StP (Australia).

Thanks guys for that. Somebody made a comment somewhere (don't ask where :wacko:) saying that it seems that everybody who is not UK born is oput through AP. Obviously there have been exemptions to that rule :).

Now, some unbelievable news... just phoned DOS as I still haven't heard from the Embassy. And G-d bless DOS, they told me that I have interview scheduled for 29.4.!!! :dancing: I am so excited!!! So they’ve rescheduled me from the 12 May to this week! :dance: That would mean that, if everything runs smoothly, we should be able to keep the wedding date as planned. I just hope the letter from Embassy arrives tomorrow otherwise I might have a difficulty getting into the Embassy :blush:

So could whoever is doing the list amend my details please? Thanks.

Congrats on getting an earlier interview date!!! That reminds me, why didn't I think of calling DOS and asking if they postponed our interview date???? Let me do that now!

Yeah, just fixed the interview date in my siggy :D:thumbs: ...it was a short explanation of what our plan of action is at the moment, but now we are calm and composed. Hopefully we will get the passport SURELY at least by the end of this week, there is no reason for delay in the passport being returned to us.
