Not a problem. Aw thank you

 

Yeah I can agree, the tubes make me the most nervous. I'm constantly on the look out and I always feel like i'm trapped on them.. lol. 

 

Your quite lucky then because your like a minute walk away from forever 21.. and like loads of big chain clothes stores! eek! I couldn't resist haha.

 

Let me know how it goes tomorrow!  

 

Luckily im not getting the tube at all. Driving to my local train station, then train to another station, switch trains and then down to Euston (3hours). Should be a 25min walk from there :). The whole journey is ~4.5 hours. For a 45 min exam! and then 4.5 hours back again. Not to mention the 2 hours each end I've had to leave for delays etc.
But yes, I saw Oxford street is close by so i'll spend my time there shopping haha! Tomorrow is going to be a long day! .. and an expensive one.

I'll post on my train home

 

@MJI CONGRATS! you'll be at your medical in no time

Not to play top trumps but I have an 8 hour journey each way to London with a 6 year old! Pray for me! haha

 

Seriously though, good luck for tomorrow. One step closer to the finish line!

Wow, I feel for ya. I hope it all goes well when the time comes.

 

You would think they would at least have an embassy in Scotland. Its a whole other country haha! That would be closer for me.

 

Thank you! Im praying nothing is cancelled/delayed. There is so much that could potentially go wrong. But yes, one step closer. And I can't wait till this is over.

[JOA AND ROBERT 29]

NVC READY?!?!?!?!? that went super fast.  i just call yesterday and got the case number. ...today i go and check and it's ready!!!! Plus I got an email from the embassy!!! soooo fast!! I'm so excited!!! 

[Ethiopia1 20]

Welll .. Has been an interesting couple of days! Received readiness email from US embassy in Addis Ababa (AddisNIV@state.gov) requesting that we can start our interview preparation. Then received NVC letter stating that my approved app is forwarded to the U S Embassy.  (These two happened on Monday .. great day).  Thewe fill out DS-160 & submitted on Monday evening. (nice & smooth).  Then yesterday, based on the instructions (Packet4), we register at https://usvisa-info.com to pay the fees and schedule interview appointment. Guess what? There is no availabile date for appointment and can not pay the fee!! (See screenshot). Frustrating!  Same thing today. And time is ticking.  I sent email to the embassy also called. Asked to check back tomorrow.  

 

Anyone has any idea on what I should do??  

FYI:  in Ethiopia payment for visa application is made only in cash to a specific bank.  I'm stuck because that option is not opening as a result of "no appointment available " glitch. It also says at the bottom please check back in a few days for available dates".  Another wait!

Hey congrats. How did you find out postal mail or USCIS website?

I did not see any Haiti cases come through today on the Android app.

 

Get that DS-160 done if not already.

I was able to get through yesterday but maybe they're having issues today .. @Melodica256 Tell them you have received a notice of approval from the app, but you are not sure if it is true or not because the caste status still reflects received, so you have conflicting information and you need it verified, and also you need to verify addresses that have been submitted on the petition  works for me every time.  Do not let them not transfer you! Sometimes you have to be a little pushy and firm with them .. not rude, but pushy. They are just call center people .. they are not going to go run and tell on you for calling, so get after it  

Oh ahhaha brilliant !

I had signed up for email alert and I got it during my lunch. Question, it wouldn't be a problem to start and finish the DS-160 paperwork

@KeriAn I was just lurking around the March forum  and saw two Trinis there that are interviewing in October. I thought you might be interested to know, in case you need some help with the process from someone that has already gone through it, or is currently doing so... and also in case you didn't notice, though maybe you already knew. They are NicoAndNelle and Shinelley

 

 

Omgawsh I didnt know, let me get on their trailllll... you are a gem!
