Wow that looks good up there

Just a quick question, and I appreciate that it probably varies wildly according to individual circumstances, but if my interview appointment is scheduled for 9am, how long should I expect before I can walk out of the embassy with a result?! Basically, I can get my medical done in that afternoon at 3, or I can make the trek back down to London on the Friday and I really can't really afford two train journeys as well as a hotel!

Congrats on the interview date. You should be fine for a 3pm medical. I had a a 9am appointment and was out of there between 11:30 and 12:00. Even if they kept you waiting another hour you would still make it.

*fingers crossed * for dairyfarmer that you get your visa in time

I have a 9:00 am interview as well...I'm so nervous about getting into London on time. I'm looking at the train schedule from Egham to Waterloo, and it looks like if I take the train at 7:23, I'll reach there by 8:06...and with some luck, if I take the Jubilee Line, I can get to Bond Street direct. :: Hugs her little tube map and train schedule ::

Anybody else need help with the London Underground?

Sorry, 27th at 9am is my interview XD I don't think they'd let us both go at once (EDIT: Or would they? After how people say.. it looks like a post office/bank )

I hope you get yours soon though

So we just called the department of state to see if we could find out out interview date and time. Apparently it is March 18 at 930am. (for my fiance's k1 interview. I'll be going with him since I've been studying in the UK since september).

So it's in 2 weeks exactly.

But we've received no packet 4.

Should I be worried?

Congrats on the interview date they send packet 4 second class post so it can be several days after it gets on the computer system when it shows up in the post
