People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~

Ok, its time to call of my VJ Helpers again! I am wondering, Patrick has only electronic copies of his pay slips and his W2 Tax forms, (he doesnt get hard copies) and he has turned them into PDF's for me (so i can print them).

Will the embassy accept these as evidence on our I-134? If not i will have to get him to print them off the website (not sure if they will be any different mind you). The ones i have, have all the info on.

Thanks

Since they do not have an original signature on them anyway, I don't think this is an issue. I printed mine off and handed to him b/c he was here but it wouldn't have been any different if he printed off there.

I did the same with my 2008 tax return and also my recent paychecks - I also emailed Nik PDFs of those and let him print them out (to save on postage).

We got the visa, so guess that was OK.

Another random thought for everyone - Besides MARM waiting for her Desi that is a student in the UK, is it mostly USC women waiting for British gents on this thread right now? If so - Our poor guys, missing out on the awesomeness we have going on between us!! I have to remind myself that my SO doesnt have as much support. I am starting to learn I can't get mad at him when he stops wanting to talk about the process.

Yes, I am also learning that I can't get mad... but its so hard!!! Its all I think about, and he gets upset when I bring it up first thing in the morning before my tea... he thinks I've got issues because my mind starts racing every morning before giving sufficient time to have a cuppa and wake up.. lol... I just want him here! I think that's a big thing.... our guys may not be the quickest at getting forms done, but when they drag their feet, it makes us feel that they don't want to get here!!! well, that's how I feel, especially when I get looks from friends and co-workers that know I've been waiting so long, and its all in his hands... grrrrrr....

im jack (male) the petitioner and my fiance ellie the beneficiary (female) is in scotland. so i guess im a bit of an exception round here. but yea, she has never come around here. im going to have her do a writeup for the interview tho.

[Allie and Nigel 2]

Yes, i tell Nigel to do something, he "thinks" about it...then he does it later when I dont know about it...sheesh. I tell him to make a list of what to do after he gets approved (we hope)on Tuesday like stuff for moving and transition over here etc etc...he is like, taking his time right now cause we are so in the dark, soo stressed out ...i know its stupid, he only had a tire puncture incident at 17 and i know it doesnt count....but the ANXIETY...OMG....the what if's. I know I could do all this stuff in like, a hour..but them on the other hand, diddle diddle around, get to it here or there...yada yada...AARRRGH, i want this week OVER...NOW....

[Justine+David 218]

We've got more time since we're hoping for a later interview...

But yeah, pretty much every other day,

"Did you get your vaccination records?" --> though he's had a lot of trouble getting the office people to cooperate.

"Have you gotten your teacher to sign your photo for the police certificate?"

lol.

[lesleysizeland 0]

Might sound really bad but i find it easier doing it myself, getting him to quickly check it and sign it! He is the petitioner but too be fair he is a typical guy and he has to 'think' about everything first so i fill out the forms, send them to him, get the info together and in return he listens to me going on about the visa.....ill just be happy when i have visa in hand.

Hi

Another question please!

On the DS-230 Part 1, Question 33 regarding all the educational institutes i have attended, does that include primary school, secondary school and any university or further education that i have done? Also as i took 11 GCSE's would i need to list all of them? I am wondering if GCSE's are the Diploma's on this form?

All help would be greatly received!

I only put university and high school (didn't put primary school). For high school, I just put "completed" for degree/diploma - didn't list all the separate exam subjects. I would assume (dangerous I know) that the embassy would see that a university degree (or college or whatever) would require a suitable level of high school education. Anybody else have same thoughts?

I booked my medical today for 11/Nov based on DOS confirming London has our case electronically - still no physical case received. Fingers crossed I haven't been too quick booking the medical!!!

Thanks for the info, i would just like to say that it took 3 weeks til the Embassy logged our case and i phoned to book a medical and was told to wait until the embassy had confirmed that they had booked in our case as if the doctors send your medical and the embassy have not logged your case they will turn your medical away and then you will have to do it again and pay another £190.

Just wanted to let you know my experience as this process costs enough without having to pay out £190 twice.

Forgot to say, you can cancel it, with no charge, up to 3 days prior to the medical so i guess wait until the evening of Wed 4th, call the embassy and if they have not logged your case re-arrange your medical.

Thanks for the heads-up - it's cool to get someone else's experience so we can compare. We have just done the maths and the medical will be 3 weeks from when DHL delivered our package. Add 4 days or so for medical results to arrive at embassy so you are looking at 4 weeks. Should be okay I hope. We are trying to be as pro-active with this as we possibly dare - it's been too long a process (as everyone knows) and would really love a Christmas reunion with my Bren and new baby Matthew (who i have yet to see!).

Lesleysizeland...when you are referencing booking your case does that mean logging in the packet 3 or the hard copy file received at the embassy?

Well my case had been received by the embassy and was there electronically but had not been booked in.

This is only my experience and like you said everyone else's is different. You have a few weeks to go so just play it by ear. If i had a brand new baby i would want to be with my partner for christmas too. Good luck, i hope it all works out for you.

You were assigned a new case number when your case arrived at the NVC. Your case number should begin with LDN. Call the DOS to get it if you haven't already received your letter from the NVC.

I would make the forms as accurate as possible, including updated information about a job.
