Thank you guys. The interview was fine. She arrived at USEM around 6:30 am and got her interview around 11:30 am. She was asked about my former marriage, my kids, when we are planning to get married etc... The consular laughed when she found out she was coming to Arkansas. Said we have a drawl (southern drawl). Some do I don't. We aren't all Hill-billies lol. Any way I'll be flying to RP (hopefully if visa arrives on time) on May17 and bringing her home May 24. My flight there I'll leave Ar. around 9:30 am mon arrive at Manila 10:30 pm Tues. , but Mon 24 will leave Manila at 6:30 am Mon, Arrive in Ar. 5:30pm Mon.

Thanks again.

great news another november has crossed the last hurdle..wish you guys the best of times together

Well... I passed (pending the blood test results & chest x-ray). She did say my blood pressure was a little high & heart rate was about 90BPM so she had to be a little cautious when taking the blood (and i had caffine 5 hours before the medical which apparently doesn't help either ).

19 hour day, but all worth it in the end.

Arlision80, you may want lay off that caffine for a while becuae you can't keep on zooming at 90BPM , but I am glad you passed after 19 hours of toruture and the rest of your journey would just be a breeze and we will be ready for a SHISHA party... Can you Handle the DOG!!!

I'll pass on the shisha party. No smoke, no drink & no drugs = doc very pleased!

I don't think it's normally that high. She said i was very tense (and probably nervous and that's why it was up).

This made me remember something funny I once heard. I don't know why it made me remember it. It's advice for all the women. To make sure your husband is happy, you only have to do 2 things. Keep his stomach full and his nuts empty.

hahahaha i heard before about the first part , but thats my first time to hear the secound part lol

Wow!!! What a relief after such a long time!!! I'm glad you passed!!!

My medical is gonna be on Monday, I've talked to the doctor and he seemed to be really nice, it made me feel so much better about this part of the process. *Fingers crossed*

So glad you made it. I've got my interview date 19th May. We've established that London does seem to allocate interviews depending on what travel dates you put on your packet 3 forms. I'd requested any interview date in May cos I need to travel in June (as I've sold my house and can't be having dogs in a homeless situation). Others who have got their interviews on the UK thread are saying the same, so whatever date you put on your checklist, they are going by that.

Happy househunting and safe journey back to the UK. Your last one.

Argh......I put no travel date and the wedding date as November *wail*. I could be waiting forever, lol!!

I rang DOS again today to see if there had been any movement...this time the lady said my P3 had been logged April 13th but that I still wasn't showing as qualified for interview...she said maybe I had forgotten something which worries me greatly. Lady I spoke to Monday just said they hadn't had a chance to give me an interview date.

Unfortunately I think the time has come to call the extortion line...6 weeks seems like an awful long time to wait for a date judging by other people's experiences. Gonna bite the bullet and bankrupt myself Tuesday!!

PS JL_n_JL - congratulations

it is because you didn't put a travel date. As I remember correctly, that "annoying the planet one person at a time" member put the fear of god into you and everyone else when we were discussing it on the UK interview thread (which is why I no longer discuss anything on there). Careful on that extortion line, it cost someone £38 for just 15 mins. Just get the email code from them and email, saying you now have travel dates and can you please have your interview date.

I will be at the shisha party! I drink 5 coffees and about 10 cups of tea per day. It doesn't raise my blood pressure, only immigration has the power to do that! Bring on the strong stuff! I also plan to knock myself out with gin and horse tranqulisers on the flight as I will be so stressed about my dogs in the hold of the plane.

Our megger got married today!

Justar, I am sure you are fit as a butchers dog and will have no problems at the medical apart from having to part with a large amount of cash for the privilege.

Mrs D. is right, I guess the USEM schedule the interviews depending on the wedding date you put. I only had to send the the DS-230, and couldn't put a wedding date, but when i saw that it was taking too long, I mailed them asking how much the process usually takes, cos we are planning on getting married June 6, and guess what, they scheduled the interview 2 days after. Maybe you should do that
