So happy for you!!!

Well, I got my fiance to finally call up Knightsbridge to schedule a medical appointment, but they only do it one month in advance (I thought they did it 2 months??) so he'll have to wait awhile longer since he wants a January appointment since all his vacation days at work are used up!

That's another British thing I've found amusing, lol, "holidays" vs vacation. I was telling him that I have my vacay days and then mentioned the holiday time I get and he was like, "What?! You get twice as much time off??" No, dear I told him they were kind of like their bank holidays where everyone gets them off or paid more if they work it (like me, grr, I have to work thanksgiving and christmas since I'm low on the hospital totem pole...)

If anyone else needs to know about moving their interview date, you can call the Embassy and they will give you a code and direct email address to the consulate to request the change.

They noted in the email: "We have rescheduled the appointment for 25NOV at 09.00. Please ignore the appt letter for Jan.

Regards,

IV/Branch

London"

This is it!! Thank you for all your support and Prayers, We are now just 9 days away from our itnerview. God Speed!!

That is great news! Good luck next week

Riggs went to London for his Medical today.

I'll be writing for him, as he says I type faster...

This morning, I read him all the reviews that have been recent on this forum, about how they hand over their passports, have to sign the back of their passport photos, fill out forms etc. I wish him good luck, and fall asleep (after trying to sleep for an hour or so) I then get a panicked call at 4:30 in the morning from Riggs saying that he didn't bring his passport or get the photos. I was not happy, but jumped out of bed, because he said he needed help finding a photobooth somewhere in London. I had no idea, but told him to look for any shopping center he can find, and I will try to text him information for a place that was close to the street he said he was on. Found Snappy Snaps online, text him the address and phone number, called him back to get straight to voicemail.. He then calls after I've been half asleep for 10 or 15 minutes to say that he got the pictures done in some shop, and is on his way back to the office. I couldn't even get out of bed before he said he was back and had to go. Fell asleep for another hour, then wake up to him calling asking for me to e-mail someone a scan of his passport photo page. Get up, find the jpg on my computer, and e-mail it to the address he said. Fall asleep again and then wake up at a normal hour to him getting home, letting me know that everything else went smooth, he had the male doctor, and everything was fine. He also brought his vaccination records, but there was another one that he needed, and they told him to have his GP fax the proof once its done, and once they receive that, they'll send it on to the embassy!

All in all, he was very frazzled, had no sleep the night before, but somehow made it through with success! He even said that other people showed up for their appointments without passport or photo and were told to reschedule... I asked him what made him so special, and he said it was probably because he looked the receptionist in the face instead of the cleavage, which he said was a common thing with most guys walking in there... I guess it all boils down to Riggs being lucky for being a leg man instead of a chest man

Definitely take all documents like the subject access to the interview.

They probably at least want the right year. Is there anything that you can remember that would help you? Maybe some news stories that you could google? emails you would have sent to people that you could look up?

iv asked friends who went but they aint sure they guessing 1998 to 1999. iv no pictures . iv put in 1999 but im frustrated if i should leave it or do it again. im soo sick of these DS forms the amount of times iv filled them out, iv a folder full of the ones that iv found mistakes on lol , its driving me nuts

[yorkshirerose22 4]

also on the check list it mentions a notarized statment. what is that? Is it the letter of intent from my fiance and dose it have to really be notarized?

[Justine+David 218]

Only if you're 4 months past your NOA2 date

[yorkshirerose22 4]

so i guess i dont need that notarized statment?

[Justine+David 218]

Nope

As long as your interview date is before December 21st...
