So we read to maybe get a sooner interview date include the wedding day .. well not sure that was a good idea. My fiancee called this am and guess what interview date they gave him? yep..our date we chose.. 1.5 months from now..when everyone else is getting 2 weeks..this journey started Aug. 26, 2011 and will finally happen.

It seems that they don't take much notice on the cover note that you send with packet 3. If you want to try for a sooner date, try e-mailing the consulate directly. But be prepared. VJ member 'mj_nj' did that and got an interview date very quickly.

I'm sure that mj_nj would be happy to give you the low down on how they went about doing this.

he did email the embassy and that is the date they gave him, why 1.5 months for an interview but then we sat back almost 7 months watching people way after our date get their NOA2 until we got ours..

There are a lot of upcoming holidays? I don't know.. that's the only reasoning I can think. Not sure if the Embassy will celebrate all the upcoming UK bank hols. :-/

We included our wedding date (27th August 2011) in the cover letter - not sure if it did us any good or not, but done, sorted, and now just waiting for him to get on the plane in 2 months!
