We sent our P3 back a week ago (Royal Mail confirmed it was rec'd there on 29 July) and no word, nothing's been logged in as rec'd there yet. Hopefully soon. As soon as we've got a date I'll let you know so we can be added to your lovely list!

Had the interview on Thursday morning.

I can't over emphasise how useful it is to get there early. My interview was slated for 9am but I joined the queue at 7:30am and was able to get in fairly quickly. Even then I was still 6th of the Immigrant visa numbers.

They had 25 windows serving Visa's but only 1 was doing I numbers until about 9am, then another started. Expect to get 30 or so N numbers called in the time it takes an I number to get done.

My case was fairly straightforward I had all original documents and copies with me, and 2 extra folders of things I didn't end up needing. I was using a joint sponsor and no input to the requirement from myself or my wife. The joint sponsor has almost double the guidelines and is a full citizen so no issues there.

The first woman I spoke to took various documents and asked me to pay the fee. When I came back she filled out a checklist. She made a couple of notes in red which were points for the consular officer to discuss or check, domicile and a previous refusal at the NVC (I-129F a few years back).

"Interview" turned out to be the wrong label for it. The consular officer asked me to swear what I had submitted was correct to the best of my knowledge, said he didn't know why domicile would be an issue (My wife moved back to the states a month or so back, and had a letter from HR at her place of work), said the previous refusal didn't matter. He approved me without asking any questions.

I was out of the embassy at around 10:30, very stressful build up but suprisingly smooth in the end.

Is anyone going to take over the list? It seems like a real shame it's not being kept up. :(
