It arrived today! My photo looks awful, plus the Royal Mail bent them up something rotten.

I know what you mean. I know its a police certificate but they didnt have to make me look like a criminal! Mine was all bent too.

Hi guys, Hope you dont mind but i'll be keeping up with this thread from now on. We were approved on the 12th and have received confirmation that NVC have our case. A letter was sent to us on the 19th saying it would be dispatched in a week, so if it isn't in London already, it will be soon.

I noticed London are giving out interview dates really quickly! And there is a short duration of wait too! I really don't want to be interviewed until June or july to allow my SO's new job to become more stable. He wants to be there for the interview too...the plan was always for him to come in June so we are hoping to co-ordinate his interview around this.

As I am so new to this "having a NOA 2" business i was just wondering if someone could clarify something for me.

Am i right in thinking an interview wont be scheduled till the checklist is sent....but prior to that i can send the other forms in. I have also read the embassy website and I think i'm being a bit daft. Do we send a the affadavit of support form before we attend the interview? Or do we submit all documentation at the time of interview. Sorry if it's been asked before, but I keep being confused by different pieces of information I have read on this site and was looking for help from someone who is at the same embassy as us.

Good luck to all those with up coming interviews. Every time we see someone being approved it makes me feel like we are getting closer to our end goal too.

You can send the DS forms in first if you want. I did that as I want to spread it out abit as I am away for 8 weeks soon. I just included a cover letter with the NVC case number (begins with LND) saying that I will be sending the checklist once I have gathered all the required documents. In fact if you read the instructions given in the link when you get Packet 3, it tells you to do that. Here's the link they give youhttp://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/iv/iv_15.html (scroll to the bottom for the instructions on sending stuff in).

The affidavit is given in at the interview along with the documents requested. Only the forms and checklist are sent in.

Thanks Laura. I hope you have a blast in the US

Thanks for the welcome guys. :)

I'm just so glad to be out of VSC!!! I know there are potential for few more delay but hopefully noting as long as 200+ days (I sincerely hope not).

BTW, I got my British police certificate last year and it took the whole of 3 days to arrive :). Let's just hope I get to interview stage before it expires :). Would be just my luck.

Hi! So Jon and I are getting ready for his interview and we're working on the I134

I've been in school/traveling and last year did not make above the poverty line (my 2008 taxes reflect that!). But I've had a job since October that is pays well above the poverty line and have pay stubs/employer letter as evidence. Has anyone had experience with London and know if they will accept this?
