Try the timelines:

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/stats.php

You can also search the Embassy times there AND, by using the search facility on that page, find any posts referring to London etc etc

Good luck!

sigh, I see your another look at the timelines person.. I know where the timelines at and have looked at them many numerous times. I dont need to know the length in days so let me be more specific about what I want to know.. Whats in packet 3, The PHONE NUMBER to the NVC and how long I should wait before I start calling them, what information do I need when I call them, How can I track my Petition from the NVC to the embassy in London, Once my petition is in London what do we get in packet 4, what is the PHONE NUMBER to the london embassy, how long should i wait once the petition leaves NVC before I start calling the embassy to find out our Interview date, what information will I need for that call. When should we make the appointment for the medical exam? I kinda want all this information togther in one post, so that way when i Look back for reference I can just go to this post find out what I need and go on again.

Thanks

No, I'm NOT another "look at the timelines person" and you're wrong to assume that about me. Look back over my posts and you will see that I'm pretty helpful in general.

We have MANY people in the UK forum who have JUST gone through the "waiting for P4/interview/etc etc" so I KNOW there are threads around that cover this. What you seem to want is to be babied through the whole process. To be honest, the information is HERE, on this site, I just don't think you have looked very thoroughly. It seems to be a case of "I'm just going to post and have everyone else do it for me".

You want the phone number to the NVC? Check out the NVC thread. It is RIGHT there. Want the phone number to the London Embassy? Check out the London Embassy website. A quick check on Google for that embassy should suffice.

The other questions ARE covered here. There are example forms here to the very things that are contained in P3....and so on.

Remember, everyone's case is slightly different, times for things DO tend to vary, as do the processing times at various times of the year. No one will have a cut and dried answer for you, just estimates, which IMO, just make the waiting worse sometimes.

Finally, I've gone through this process myself. I've waited for P3, I've filled out the forms etc etc I just dealt with stuff as it was sent to me. Perhaps I'm the odd one out. *shrugs*

See? What Thingee posted was something you could have found yourself AND it was linked to the Timelines page. *sighs*

See above for NVC answer.

To play the Devil's Advocate here - I tried to find that London Embassy page the other day when I stumbled on the Montreal page and couldnt' for the life of me find it. And I'm a pretty "read it all" kinda girl. I also seldom have luck with the search function on this site and can understand how - excited with an NOA2 and tired and frustrated - sometimes you just have to ask for help.

People who don't want to offer it can always just not reply. People who don't mind "babying" someone - and I can pretty much assure you that at some point, I'll ask for some babying myself - can offer information if they want to. See, everyone's a winner.

There is a difference between helping someone and someone asking silly questions that are visible on the board AND merely 2 clicks away on the mouse.

Here's how things went for me so far if you look at my signature line...and also you should receive a letter in the mail in a few days from NVC with a case # that is different from your receipt number and then if you wait a few more days you can call NVC back and they will tell you when they sent the file to London and the date London received it...

So I guess now we are waiting for packet 3...I hope this helps some...If you go to usembassy.org.uk it will give you a highlight of what is in packet 3

Also tell your fiance to go to his local police station now in UK and request for a police certifcate it will cost 10 pounds and he needs a driver's liecense and passport or utilitybill...It will take 40 days max for them to mail it back but I heard normally 2-3 weeks he should get it...and also if he has lived any where else in the world since age 16 for more than 6 months he will need a police report/certificate from any other country....

Hope this help

Hope this help

NVC phone number is on their website...just google it...I thought I wrote it down but I can't remember it off head...they will give you the number to the embassy in London however, you can only call that number if you are inside of the UK for 60 pences per minute and to call from US there is a 1-866-number that will ask for a credit card for you to pay $16.00 (US) for 7 minutes of help...

Mag just stay off my thread eh, I dont need your kind of help. And yes working 12 hour shifts 5 days a week dealing with a 4 year old son full time, Im sorry I dont have much time to sift through post after post to find the information and yes i did try the search feature and didnt find it much more helpful. Dont like it as I said before stay off my topic then.

Ignore this link its for my own personal reference as i said just trying to compile all the data in one spot for easy findings and referencing later.

Thanks Nky, did you get your letter from NVC before or after you got your NOA2 in the mail? I know it took them like 10 days before we got our NOA1 in the mail and about the same for our rfe.

Yeah told my fiancee today he had to go to the police station when he got up, hopefully he will hes the type that needs a little prodding sometimes lol.
