I can't. It just said on the corporate site where I book business travel that due to the US Embassy being closed between those dates no visa's will be issued. I wish I could link it but I can't as you need a password. It doesn't give any reason why.

Congrats Sad Eyes ... and good luck Obynoxx!!

We got Packet 3 in the post today .... :dance:

I'll be sending the stuff out to them on Monday ... I don't have a printer at the moment so will need to wait until Saturday to get access to one ....

Can someone confirm that it's only the checklist and the DS-230 Part 1 that I need to send off??? My brain's mince now ... just so excited about the whole thing!

Oh, I got Steve to rake out the tax stuff that he filed last year .. hopefully that will do as proof of income along with the letter from his workplace and his bank. I don't want to wait until this year's taxes are done - so he's just going to send me what he has ... :D

OK .. get your crystal balls out everyone. If I send the pack back on Monday .... any guess-timates on when my interview might be??

I'm laughing here ... what a silly question .... :rofl:

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Hi Moira, you also need to send Forms DS-156, DS-156K and DS-157 (all in duplicate). If you go to the website it says in Packet 3 and SCROLL down the page (don't click on the 'jumps' because they send you to an old page) there is a box called 'What Happens next' which is very useful. You can do steps 1 and 2 in one go if you have all your documents ready (or think you will soon) and booked your medical. The date of your inteview will be affected by what you put in the 'Date of travel' box I think - apparently usually about a month before that - but really who knows??! Good luck!

Alright everyone, finally we are locked into gear... we have successfully rescheduled our interview for: April 28.

We can relax a bit now...even though it means another month's wait... :whistle:

But on a very positive note, the embassy was very fast in getting back to us. We sent an email and they acknowledged it later the same day, and the next day they emailed back giving up the new interview date (and it is a date we wanted!) and informing us that the new packet 4 is on the way. :yes:

That's great news Marm!!

We got our packet 3 in the post yesterday ... so it's all systems go to get it sent back for Monday ... :D I think I know what you mean about relaxing now ... I don't think I would mind waiting as long as I had a date to look forward to!

Oh, can I ask you ... when you emailed the Embassy, did you need a special code? Or did you just send it normally?

Have a great weekend everyone ...

Congrats on receiving packet 3 :) Yes, before my fiance emailed the embassy he called the the embassy and asked for the email code. If you don't include that code in the subject/body of your email, they delete it and your email will not get acknowledged. The charges for calling the embassy (1.20 GBP/ minute) are ridiculous, but it does not take longer than 2 minutes to get the email code. My fiance called them as soon as their office opened: 8:00 AM. The phone number to get the email code is:

For Operator Assisted Visa Information call 09042-450100 (this is NOT a London number. It does not require any other prefix or dialling code.) Service available Monday through Friday, 8.00 a.m. until 8.00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10.00 a.m. until 4.00 p.m.; £1.20/min; only available in the U.K., within U.K. may be unavailable from some business telephones and mobile networks.
