Still Waiting for Interview Date

[Joanne and Adam 15]

Hey Guys,

I sent off my DS Forms package along with the notice of readiness on the 15th April.

Had my medical on 18th April.

I called the Embassy on the 2nd May to check that they had everything. They said my forms are currently being processed and it should take around 6 weeks from the date they received the forms. 6 weeks? Seriously? I've read that it usually only takes 4. I guess this is just me being impatient and such but it's been almost 5 weeks now.

What have the waiting times been like for others?
(I'm filing with the Embassy in London so really I'm looking to hear back from other people who are filing at the same place.)
Anyone else waiting for their interview date too?

All this waiting is driving me crazy

There's a UK forum where you might find a concentration of Brits currently waiting or just finished. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/

Our time was similar to yours , once we got the interview date , it was for the next week. Good luck!

Oh gosh don't say that you'll get my heart racing

I'm thinking I'll probably hear next week or maybe the week after...

Knowing that its so near now is such a strange feeling.

We've been waiting since September 2012 and now all of a sudden it's so close...

Think I need to take a moment to calm down

[Laurka 65]

OMG! Why would London take so long?! My Embassy did it in four days! Anyway, good luck to you. You're getting there!

I hear you! We did the same thing , so close ! but yet so far! or at least it seems that way. You guys have made it this far youll make it another week or so . Im sure you will hear any day , Its about a month from the time they get all your info , I would go by the last date of when you either paid your visa fee , sent in the papers of readiness or the medical , whichever date was your last. They will not schedule your interview until they have all of this , it only takes a few days for your medical records to get to them. So on average atm its taken about a month to get an interview give or take by 2 weeks. If you go over 6 weeks call them.

So much waiting... I miss my man!

I feel your pain , I miss mine as well , he will be here Sat. and its keeling me ! Luckily I have 2 kids and a house to clean and work , to keep me busy! Also got a few beers in the fridge , And a wedding to plan for ! Still waiting on that darn priest to call so I can set a date , planning a wedding in less then a month , interesting thats for sure. I have an idea what all but not a date! So cant go any further , I think personally for me the end was the worse , cause when you start you know your in for a long wait. But then things just start moving a tad bit faster but seems not fast enough!

Exactly. You're totally right about it being worse near the end- at least before you know its going to be a few months so you can keep yourself occupied with work etc. I had a christmas temp job that ended at the beginning of January and I've been looking for work ever since. But everything's so unpredictable cause I could get the letter any day.. I can't even go to uni or study anything because I wouldn't be able to finish what I started... It's so frustrating. Can't wait till we can get married and actually start our life together!!
