I don't have a letter from my fiances' employer but I have all the other evidence. As long as you have at least 3 types of evidence, that should be sufficient shouldn't it? My fiance earns way over the amount necessary & has provided details of his salary as well as other savings & assets. I just want to check if the employer letter is mandatory or not as from reading past posts, my understanding was that the supporting evidence could be a variety of paperwork as long as it proves your fiance is financially stable & able & willing to support you.

It's not mandatory and yes aslong as you have the other evidence, you can show that. I had the chinese/Asian woman at the first window, who collects together all your paperwork and she asked me for the I-134 and the letter from his employer, if I didn't have the letter I would have shown the tax transcript/pay slips/W2.

Ok, thanks so much for the info. Congrats on your approval again :) It must have been lovely having your fiance with you. I know I am going to be such a bag of nerves! I wish my fiance could come & join me for my interview but he came last month & was here for 3 weeks so getting the time off work again is not likely.

Hi all! I've been reading this thread throughout our wait for the NOA2, and it has been very helpful! I just called the NVC yesterday and found out that they already forwarded our case to London on Friday, also got the LND number. Am I right in saying it'll take about a week before we get confirmation of receipt from the consulate? Can Rob set up his medical in the meantime?

Did they say the date it was forwarded to the consulate?

You' can book the medical, but as said before, it's important for the files to reach London first. You're 'probably' (and take that with a pinch of salt) 'probably' okay if you get it booked for sometime late next week or the week after, and send your packet three and four information accordingly

They did say it was forwarded to the consulate on Friday (I called the NVC again today to confirm that information), but another VJ member told me that is what the NVC told them too, and there was only 1 DHL shipment going to London this past Friday. Do they group applications leaving from the NVC by country?

I have no idea on that one, but if it left friday it will be in London by now. You can call DOS and confirm they have received the file if you want. If the DOS confirms London has received the file, go ahead and book your medical for as soon as you want., and make sure your fiancee has the documents needed for the interview, and you can get packet 3 and four sent off

Thanks, Photomile! I'll try the DOS today!

Yes they do group shipments. DOS told me that DHL doesn't take more than 3 working days to get packets to London. Mine arrived in 48 hours. Do as Photomile said, if you have your police certificate then book your medical. In the mean time, get all your DS forms ready to send back.

Thanks and your welcome!

We had agreed if the price of flights wasn't too expensive he would fly over. I was worried that because it was in the middle of the Olympics and we had 3 days notice of the Interview the prices would be sky-high. But they were ok, I bought the ticket on the monday afternoon, he flew over tuesday night, arriving wednesday morning and our interview was thursday morning at 8am! I was so happy he made it over in time, but I was still a bag of nerves at the embassy!

My fiance works for 2 old high school friends and they had actually booked the week off on holiday (they weren't going anywhere), but they cancelled it so he could come over. Now that's a great boss :)

I'm really pleased for you. Hope my VJ goes as smoothly without my fiance at my interview! blink.gif

[/quoTE]

Yes, they do. When you look at shipment details the weight is given. Some packages might be 1.3 lbs, while another might be 16 lbs indicating a lot of cases in the heavier box. I just tried to do the tracking thing, but it's not working for me. It won't let me pick my own date range so can't pick up anything before Aug 4 because of the dropdown with limited choices of dates. I haven't done this lately so don't know if that's a newish thing or if the sight is having an off day. But the package should be there by now. They arrive offsite so some of the delay is physically getting the files to the IV unit where it can be logged in.

They've been flicking the references. Used to be EXP 08 AUG 2012A, and a few lately have been EXP 08AUG2012A or something similar. Mine was, might explain what's happening

The one I'd been using is EXP 02 AUG2012A, so yeah, it seems that they are not consistent with the reference numbers they use.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I called DOS and they said our application had not been processed in London yet, and they said it could take a week, so I'll just have to be patient! Rob already has police certificate, though, so we'll be ready to get the medical set up as soon as London processes our stuff.
