Hey, you should get a date soon hopefully, your p3 was logged on the same day as mine...

Oh wait, looking at the date you sent it... is that the date they received it at the embassy or the date they actually logged it? Took them nearly a month to log mine.

Ricky and Vanessa.. when i (Adrian) call dos.. they tell us that they received the packet on that day.. but that we are logged in the system.. but we are not eligible.. we seem to be having an issue getting a straight answer or any reliable info from anyone.. it makes it harder

Wow, my passport turned up today, with mysterious brown envelope! That was so quick, 6 days from when I was at the embassy. From reviews on here I was expecting it to be another week yet. Woohoo very excited. Now to get planning!

My interview is on March 4th for immigration to The States. (I can see that Cass Errol's already on the list - my Fiancee)

I was going half mad waiting for the letter, now it's here, I'm getting panicky. I'm so worried I'm going to stuff it up after waiting for so very long.

Those of you who have had your interviews, how was it?

Congrats! As long as you have all the required documentation you should be fine! My fiance was very nervous for his interview, but he had all the documents and he said it was very painless and easy. You can read our review of his interview if you click on our timeline link on our profile. Good luck!

Thanks Beatles, I had a read and it was very informative. I also found one a few pages back which was useful too I wonder how they are going to take the news that we met online... I would guess that a few people meet that way.

I just want it all over and done with. I've got a lovely 8am interview slot, so I'll be getting there at around 7.15 by train. I love a good early trainride I'll be nervous all the way there. But, it'll all be worth it to be able to be with Cass again.

Also (I couldn;t edit my post, so I'm posting again.) I saw that people with electrical items, their items went into a 'bin'. Was that so that they could go through the scanner, then you got them back? Or were they deposited and collected at the end? Orrr were they destroyed upon entry?

That's something else that's bothering me. I'm going to have my cellphone and iPod, and I don't want to have to try and find somewhere to put them while I'm interviewed.

You're welcome! My fiance and I met online too. Known each other online for 7 years before we finally became a couple. Most people do meet online and the immigration officer didn't even bat an eye when he told her our story.

I'm not sure what they do with these items. Phill left his electronics at home so he wouldn't have to worry. There is a pharmacy nearby where you can pay to have them secure your items while you're in your interview. I honestly can't remember the info for the place, I'm sure someone will post it soon though.

You aren't able to bring electronics in the embassy. You need to either leave them at home or check them it at Goulds Pharmacy. They charge a fee and when you are finished at the Embassy you go pick them up. DO NOT take them with because they won't let you in with them.

Ah, we met up a lot quicker than that :S I guess everyone has a different story. Congratulations to you both

Mm, I'd heard about that place. I'll have another look at the info for that. I'm just worried because I'm getting the train in and don't want to be going here there and everywhere while I could be getting to the Embassy.

I second what Beatlesrebel said...my interviewing officer told me that he hears a lot of stories about people meeting online...mine included, so you won't have to worry about that

With regards to your electrical items...you will have to store them somewhere as they will not allow you to take them into the embassy.

There are a couple of storage points, the most common being Goulds Pharmacy, which is literally 2 minutes away...you will have to pay for each item you store, but there is no way around it.

Congrats and good luck with your interview

Thank you very much! The pharmacy is very, very close to the embassy. Here's the website with the address: http://www.gouldpharmacy.com/ContactUs.asp I've read it's only maybe a 2 minute walk from the embassy.

Alrighty...got my affidavit stuff done; have 2008 tax transcript, a few 2009 pay stubs and one of my 2010 pay stubs. I think I'm good!

Just need to get my letter of intent notarized since our petition expired a couple of weeks ago and I'll send off the paperwork to David, yay!

I misss him. I woke up today thinking he'd be right next to me like he was for 2 weeks, but alas, no. Ah, well. When my one sick baby (patient) wasn't acting up, I got to cuddle a super cute non-very-sick baby last night at work...and I thought out our future babies far in the future and getting maroon-colored passports for them. Haha!
