Interview date, where is it??

[Suzanne and Gary 0]

just frustrated right now waiting to hear from the embassy and worrying they will lose our paperwork. My fiancee has had his medical last Monday and now we are going crazy waiting to hear from the London embassy!!! Our paprwork left the US on the 17th Jan so it is in the time frame, but I'm going nuts waiting!!! Anyone know how to get the checklist again in case we need to resend? Of course I copied everything but the checklist! I sent it registered mail but there is no way of checking to see that they got it.

If you only sent it on the 17th, and you sent it from the US, that is only 3 business days. You need to give it some time. When I sent my original packet from the UK to the US it took them 10 days to get it.

As the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says: Don't Panic!

You're going to have to wait a little longer before you hear anything, but the London embassy works much more efficiently than certain other branches of the US government (hem hem). For reference, check our timeline and that of other couples, and remember London's average K1 processing time (from receiving a case file to issuing a visa) is 76 days.

Here's the 'Step One' checklist from Packet 3:

DS-230 Part 1 (pages 1 and 2 only)

DS-156 in duplicate (do not sign)

DS-156K

DS-157

And here's the 'Step Two' list of things to bring to interview:

Passport

Birth Certificate (must be 'long form')

Adoption Certificate

Deed Poll for any name change

Marriage Certificate for previous marriages

Divorce or Death Certificate for previous marriages

Police Certificate (for all countries lived in for one year+)

Court Record for any conviction

Military Record for any service

Two colour passport photos

Evidence of Support (eg. petitioner's I-134)

Translations of anything not in English

Good luck! Try not to bite too many nails while you wait...

Been waiting since Dec 4. I guess we got our packet into the system on Dec. 18. Don't worry..I would say you have about a month to wait (if they decide to be efficient). Don't stress, as it really takes a toll on ya. lol If it comes to a point when it's 6 weeks and nothing, call the embassy and tell them that because they actually ask you on packet 3 to call them at the 6 week mark..
