2010 United Kingdom Interview Thread

[jkminney 30]

This is specifically for filing the I-129F, though. I'm a little baffled as to why we don't need to prove who I am in any way, except by virtue of the information I provide and sign as true. I mean, they do security/ name checks at NVC level, he could have said I'm Mother Theresa, they've nothing that shows otherwise.... and yup, I know she's dead

You are providing a divorce decree with your married name on it...that's enough for them to note the name change.

Hello! quick question - for those that already have their visa, can I ask how long it took to arrive in the post? It's been 5 working days and I've been trying to track my visa online but I just get an error message saying:

'Sorry, this combination of tracking number and postcode do not correspond with our records. Please check and try again.'

so now I'ma little worried. Should I be?

I emailed them but have not gotten a reply as of yet and when I called the automated options I get don't really correspond to my inquiry.....

Oh and CONGRATS! to those of you just approved!

Ok - I called and although it has been more than 5 working days they said they might be picking up the packed today and to check online after 3pm. Phew.

I had my interview on 15th Jan, and my visa was delivered on 25th. It seems that it takes a bit longer than the 3-6 days the embassy estimates.

Take the 3 to 5 working days with a grain of salt. I'd say they're averaging 8 working days.

Oh, and Congrats to the recent approvals!!! All those January stars be lookin good!

I just got home last night. My husband interviewed on Monday (Jan 25th) and was approved. We are waiting for the visa and he has decided to wait two weeks to move. It is supposed to take 3-5 working days. We'll post again once we get it. Congrats to everone else approved. Anyone going soon needing recmmendations I will tell you where we stayed and had best luck. We got a room at the Mayfair Millenium. It has some online specials now. The Audley pub about a 5 minute walk from there is the best. We went there several times during our stay. It took about 30 minutes to get through outside ques and security. We waited about half an hour to be called to the first window for document check. The actual interview was in another section and took about 10 minutes. The woman asked questions in a friendly conversational tone. I could see the documents we had sent in front of her so she already knew the answers to everything she asked. I think they just double check. We were in and out in plenty of time to relax and tour London. We were pleasantly surprised at how efficient the tube is for getting around. get an Oyster card. It makes it so simple to get around on bus and trains. The Heathrow Express was well worth the extra and there is luggage storage on [platform 12 in Paddington if you need it. It cost 9 pounds a day per bag. We took a cruise down the Thames to Grenwich for 9 pounds each and it was well worth it. We saw a lot and heard amusing historical tales. We spent the rest of the day wandering there. if you go do not bother with LaCucina. What a rip off. The rest of town is cute. It is "where time begins". Best of luck to everyone.

My fiance was able to track his right away, then for the days after it was coming up with the same error message. It only took 4 working days for it to arrive to him, he wasn't able to get the tracking to work until the night before it arrived. Good luck, hope it arrives soon!

Must have been Greenwich? Was the Cutty Sark (being rebuilt) there?

[SunDrop 59]

Justine,

Still no word on your interview date? You've been waiting aaaaages

ruth_a,

Do you mean NVC has forwarded your petition to London? If so, you know you can start getting your packet 3 docs ready. I believe, but I'm sure that someone will confirm or correct, that once London logs your petition, you can post packet 3 without waiting for the letter that sends you to the website. Also, with your London case number, you can book your medical. Can someone confirm this for me, please!

[ruth_a 0]

Hi Sundrop....

we've filed for the CR1 so I don't think we have to do Packet 3 (??) I think now NVC has approved everything we are just waiting for an interview date.... but I could be wrong!

Thanks for the medical advice though - should book that asap...

cheers!

[Ricky+Vanessa 43]

It's FEBRUARY on MONDAY....we've got some interviews coming up this week! Good luck guys
