Appointment Letter for Interview - Fiance attending

[speaktru69 5]

Hello All,

This question has probably been asked and answered a thousand times, but I can't find the answer through searching.

My Fiance received her interview letter today which is great and means its getting closer to a VERY LONG and VERY STRESSFUL journey, which I'm sure your all well aware of.

Question is, I will be attending the interview with her, but my name is not listed on the letter. Should my name be listed on the interview letter?

Many thanks for your help. Your all a godsend!

If you expect to get in the embassy in London, your name must be listed on the letter. She had to request your attendance in advance in order to be on the letter. There is a way to request on the London visa (online) contact form. Here-> http://london.usembassy.gov/niv/visa_contact_form.html. An email from them confirming the fiancé attendance will get you in, even if not on the appointment letter.

Thanks for the quick response.

Nich-Nick: My fiance did put my name down to say I would be attending the interview when she filled in the Readiness form online. So I'm not sure why I'm not listed. I did try the link you provided but it says the page has moved.

So perhaps I should call on Monday. Cheers

Hmmm...I am copying the link from the actual page being open...not from an old bookmark. Will try pasting again http://london.usembassy.gov/niv/visa_contact_form.html

You should find various contact reasons. Looks like this--

U.S. Embassy London Visa Unit - Contact Form

I need to know which visa is required for travel

I wish to reschedule my immigrant or K visa interview

I wish to know the status of my immigrant or fiancé visa application

I would like to add the name of my U.S. citizen spouse/child to my IV appointment

My inquiry concerns immigrant visas and is not covered by information on your website

My inquiry concerns nonimmigrant visas and is not covered by your website

(and then the rest of the request part)

Alternatively find "contact us" in the left column of one of the London visa instruction pages. Then wade through several pages to get to it. It's well hidden....

1) Go to Contact Us. On contact us page, after the phone numbers, the last thing on the page is a link that says "contact us". Click.

2) Next page says " If your inquiry concerns an immigrant visa please "click here" for further information. Click it.

3) Next page has gray box with some options. Last one say "Still have a question?". Click that and it expands to say

4) "If your inquiry remains unanswered, please use our "visa contact form" (that's a link to click)

When completing the form, you must include your case number (e.g. LND2013XXXXXX). Failure to do so will delay our response. Click the link and you get to the form.

Four easy steps Geez.. They act like they don't want to be contacted.

That worked. Fantastic! Thank you.

Just another quick question. Been reading that the K1 visa expires 6 months from medical. Is that true? and if so, is it actually 6 months or 180 days counting the day of the medical? Just looking at possible flight dates for my fiance to land before the 6 month expiration if everything gets approved.

I think I understand that the medical is valid for a year so my fiance will not need to have another medical for AOS in the States.

Many thanks!

Word of advice - turn up early on the day of the interview. My USC husband attended my K1 interview with me, and I put on my Packet 3 about letting my fiance attend with me. I got an e-mail back directly from the London IV unit saying his name would be added to the access list on the day. On the day, his name wasn't. I had to kick off at the reception area inside and they had to phone through, yada yada, back and forth for about 40 minutes before the consulate bit inside e-mailed security at the front to say he's allowed inside. Luckily we arrived in plenty of time and still had to wait 2 hours inside for our interview. Be early, be prepared.

I too had my name put down when submitting the readiness form, but was not on the letter. My fiancé had his interview today and my name was on a separate sheet. The security guard quickly called someone inside the embassy and she wrote my name on the letter. It was as easy as that and I was allowed in. He got his approval. Good luck with your upcoming interview. You should have no problem getting in if your name was put down on the readiness form.

When you do show up for the interview with your fiance, be sure to have your US passport with you. They will ask to see it.

Do yourself a favour and don't go to the interview, you will be bored to death, go and have a beer and wait outside.
