Thanks. 

 

I had asked if I would also get a biometric appointment?

 

I am in the UK and my USC husband is in USA. I will have my interview here in the  UK , at the US consulate , once the paperwork goes through all channels. 

 

Will I get called for biometrics later then? We didn’t fill in a form for it as it wasn’t included in the pack. 

I didn know that you were applying through consular processing. I dont have much idea about that process but someway or the other your biometrics will be done at the consulate, probably they will send you a letter about that..

Yes so apparently we get processed at USCIS and then afterwards it goes to the consulate abroad where medicals and biometric are asked for at some point

I think it is possible if you call wherever it was issued, but my guess is that it will take a bit longer than a credit card

It was delivered to the lockbox on 15 March.

So looks like it took a week to get this e-mail notification.

Yes I added a LOT of photos , definitely over 50 but I had them

as 14 A4 college prints , each A4 had like a collection of 8-10 photos.                                          Then and chapters upon chapters of our text messages and video chat and call logs. We were long distance nearly five years

and we don’t live together, so there was a lot man!          

Plus all our wedding expenses, oh the  pack was huge! My hubby thought it was excessive.

Then later I was worried we had put too much?

I don't think it's too much. You accumulate alot over 5 years! Can't help but have a big packet I don't think 😊

Looks like a good packet! I didn't type a summary of our relationship. If you don't have a cover letter, add one. Otherwise it looks good!
