2010 United Kingdom Interview Thread

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

I'm afraid if we call the extortion line I won't be able to come up with a reason why July 7 is "impossible" -- since we both are already together in the UK and have valid residence permits here..

You want to leave sooner than when they assumed you wanted to leave by? Valid reason. Call!

[Rito 28]

Sorry everyone, I thought I had set this thread to email me when there were new replies but I guess I didn't.

Thank you for the clarification, ohlpomr. I hope this is all an easily-fixed mistake and you get a sooner date. So glad you won't have to be apart for that long, though!

[Lansbury 19]

Slightly OT since this is the interview thread, but didn't want to make a new thread...

Got my lpr card today. Took only 5 weeks, is that fast or normal? I thought it might take months. Would rather have had my SSN first but not complaining too much!

Yes that is normal for the LPR card. It is not normal for the SSN that is about 2 weeks. If you don't have the SSN you need to go to your local SS office and follow it up, my guess it hasn't been ordered even if you ticked to box on the visa form for it to be issued when you arrived. That happens a fair bit.

Had my interview today and was approved. yay! The actual "interview" part took about one minute. The waiting 3 hours for that one minute wasn't so great but had to be done.

Congrats! Hopefully you won't have too long to wait for the visa in hand!

To confirm, is the "Operator Assisted Visa Information & Appointment Booking" line what I need to call? 09042-450-100?

Yep that's the number you need to use!

[ohlpomr 0]

Ok, I called the number, £20 phone call! The lady was VERY Irish, and I am VERY American. We had to repeat everything at least 4 times before we understood each other!

I emailed LondonIV -- crossing my fingers that they'll move our interview date up; will update here when I get a reply.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Fingers crossed for ya

That's a way aways! Gracious....

Please do complete your timeline, because it's helpful for others going through the same process as you. As someone asked, is this normal for DCFs through London and that's something that VJers who use the timelines as a guide to processing times could answer, except if the data isn't there!

Go to this page and under the 'Timeline Functions' opt to edit/add your entry.

Thank you

Hi Sundrop & fellow UK comrades

I just got my NOA2 on 23 Feb, so am now applying for membership to your gang here.

The ohlpour 20th July interview date shocker - well, the shock of that was enough to kill a horse. Me and my dogs will be homeless on 30th June due to having sold my house, so if I don't get through the next state of the process by then......I'll be selling the Big Issue to you all outside the UK Embassy!
