Yayyy!! It was all ok and I got approved... After all that panicking!! It really was quite straightforward, got there at 9, queued outside for 45mins (glad it wasn't raining!), then got let in to a pretty unimpressive room!!

Was called to a desk after about 15 minutes, they took my documents. They were hardly bothered at all about all the affidavit evidence, just took one letter from Ed's employer. Had to do some fingerprints, and that was pretty much it for that bit. Then they gave me a pink letter which I filled out ready for the courier, and waited for my second stint at one of the windows.

This time an american lady saw me, who was doing the actual 'interview'. I found her to be a bit unfriendly, but not rude or anything. She was probably just bored of doing visa interviews... Anyway, she asked these questions, after verifying my fingerprints that I had just given! Like I could get someone else to pretend to be me in those 20 minutes!!

-Where did you meet

-What does he do now

-what did you do at university (where we met)

-Have you visited each other

That was it! She also asked to see some photos. Then she said 'that all seems to be in order, you can go and arrange for a courier to bring your passport and visa to you now'

Phew! Easy!

If anyone has any questions (specifically about London or otherwise) feel free to ask! Or PM if you like!

Maria

Good luck to munchkins and CapeG!! And anyone else with interviews this week...

:D Congratulations :D

I was checking all day yesterday as I've followed your case from when I very first filed as you were just a short time ahead of me. I even felt nervous for you yesterday!!

Great news, glad to hear they didn't grill you either. Just a very quick question. What did they allow you to take in with you to the Embassy?

I wondered if you can take a handbag with all the normal girl stuff in or if you are only allowed a wallet and your paperwork?

So pleased for you

6/05/06 - Mailed off the I29f

06/20/06 - Cheque cashed

7/07/06 - Still not received NOA1. Call CSC. They have input our address incorrectly. Give them the correct details. Also find out what our case number is from them so can check for touches!

07/13/06 - Receive RFE

07/26/06 - Email confirmation they have RFE

07/27/06 - Touched

08/23/07 - Call CSC to find out where NOA1 is and what date was on it. As it was sent to the wrong address it came back as undeliverable. They will not send it out again unless we send them a written request. However date was;

06/09/06 - NOA1

09/07/06 - NOA2 email confirmation

09/28/06 - NVC say they have sent details to US Embassy in London

12/09/06 - Sent back packet 3 recorded delivery

I wondered if you can take a handbag with all the normal girl stuff in or if you are only allowed a wallet and your paperwork?

So pleased for you

They let me take a small bag in with me, just like a magazine sized one, which had mainly rubbish in it... They didn't let me take in my camera (I don't even know why it was in there), but apart from that they just x-rayed my bag and let me take it all in (including a lighter). I gave my camera to the man who sits on the desk.

You can't take any cosmetics in! They make you put them in a little plastic bag before you go in which you hand to the man at the desk.

Good luck with the rest of your process! Hopefully see you in AOS soon :)
