London People- Anyone else in my shoes?

Both of you--

They do say to allow four weeks for your forms to be registered/opened/recorded (whatever you want to call it.)

Ejett, Did you give a wedding date in your cover letter? What date?

As far as your cover letter if you send again...What Sarah said. And state that you completed the medical exam on [date] , have all your documents collected, and are fully ready to attend an interview.

.

I put October 12th as the wedding date. I wasn't too bothered about the whole thing until now. It seems the embassy is giving out interview dates for early October, which is making me start to panic!

As for the new cover letter, should I still say that it is the second time I've sent DS-2001?

Yes. Reiterate that you've done your part once already, it would be nice if they could help you make your date.

Thank you, Lost At Sea, and everyone else! I'll try resending it!

Although this site is great for alot of things ,it can also send paranoia into overdrive,almost everyone on my time line had their papers logged and interviews scheduled within 3 weeks.I've even seen many people who sent theirs after mine have more progress than me.this made me get paranoid my forms were lost and sent me into a panicked frenzy.I re sent my forms at the 4 week Mark stating "if my previous forms have since Been registered,please disregard these forms that I'm re sending due to fear my previous set are lost as its been four weeks and I haven't heard anything" yesterday exactly 5 weeks from when I sent my first set of forms I received a email stating my forms have been received and currently being processed and to expect a interview date shortly.I'm assuming it was my first set of forms they are processing as it seems a little too early for them to have my others in their hand .so basically what in trying to tell you is they seem a little behind schedule,some people are lucky and make it through within four weeks some seem to have to wait longer .once they saw my email stating it had gone four weeks,it really seems progress was made on their end ,so I'm sure you will be fine.I also don't think re sending your forms can harm or delay anything if you explain why you are sending them.at least that way if for whatever reason your forms have been misplaced,you have another set already in the building.it helped put my mind at ease alot by re sending them

Yes, the medical results have barely been in but the forms were sent in almost 4 weeks ago. I emailed them on Monday and see what their response is. What drives me nuts is that people who had their medical after and sent their forms after me are all logged up and waiting to get an interview assigned!

Hey I was in the same boat as you I waited 4 weeks to the day after sending my ds-2001 before I was in the system and they issued me a interview date and they did it straight away I did put that my wedding date was the 21st of September.

I must have got lucky because my interview is next Wednesday and I only received the appointment letter today they must have had a cancellation and put me in that date I wouldn't be surprised if you get a interview date in the next few days seeing your packet 3 was sent in around the same time as mine as well as the medical and the sending of the ds-2001 all being sent on similar dates.

Good luck I'm sure you'll hear something soon :-)

Congrats, that's real positive news to hear!

I'm in a similar position, my DS documents were received on Aug 21st, yet DOS say nothing is on the system, just my medical results. Hoping, praying and crossing everything that by Wednesday (the 4 week mark) I hear something.

Yes hopefully you are right.

It will have been 4 weeks since the forms were signed for at the embassy on the 16th, so in just a couple days...

fingers crossed!
