Sounds about right, what's a mifi though?

Tablets and phones are allowed although last week when i was there the security guards kept asking people with tablets if they had a keyboard with them.. no idea why.

Ohh, man i felt kinda old then.

The interview was fine, i was nervous but in the end thinking back on the entire day, it really wasn't much to worry about. As long as you have everything everybody says you need to have, then you'll be fine

My interview was at 8AM, i was in there at 7:45 and out by 9:15 so it was rather quick really

In 38 :-s

Im a little worried about i-134 and evidence but in sure it will be fine.

Did you take any relationship evidence ?

Hah okay i don't feel old now still never heard mifi though, kinda embarrassing working in IT and not knowing that -.-

Anyway - I was worried about the I-134 as well, my fiancee's tax transcript only displayed half of her salary as she started working mid year, the embassy questioned this too but that's why i had taken along letters from employees detailing her salary and i explained why the transcript was weak as such. The lady said that was fine and took all of the evidence. She also asked if i had any savings, i said yes and gave her a 5 figure number, stating that this would be coming with me to America. She took a note of it on her system but didn't ask for any evidence of that.

I took 2 photos and a copy of our last boarding passes, none of it was requested though.

Hope all will be good.

You'll be fine in that department then you have a lot more evidence etc than we did.

Best of luck to you, let us know how it goes!

Taking a couple recent images and boarding passes too ;-) thanks

Any tips getting to embassy ?

[phem0r 16]

Bond street is closed for quite some time. I came into Euston so just got on the Victoria line to Oxford Circus, changed to the Central line and got off at Marble Arch

Marble Arch is roughly the same distance from the embassy as Bond Street is. It's a simple 5-10 walk from Marble Arch, i just used maps on my phone to make sure i got there fine

I would say, given where you live, it may be better to drive to Stanmore as that is on the Jubilee Line and will take you straight through to Bond Street. I then walked from there.

Good luck for tomorrow! You'll be fine. I took some relationship evidence but was not asked for any of it - although I did volunteer some of it to back up the tale of how he proposed. I think most people take it as a security blanket.

Bond street is shut so marble arch it is. I live north of cockfosters and its £5 parking all day ;-)

Thank you
