United Kingdom Interview Thread 2007

It was sent during the postal strike, but was sent signed for and was definitely recieved by their post room?!?

Hi, I sent my checklist and DS-2001 to the embassy and it was recieved on Oct 16th. I put that we needed to move in January. I still have had no interview date from the embassy and when I ring (both State Dept in DC, or the extort line) they say their system does not show the checklist as recieved, but say their system isn't regularly updated. Therefore, nearly a month has gone by with no contact from the embassy. Does this sound like too long a time? If so, what can I do? I forgot to copy the above forms, so do not have another copy I could send. Does anybody have a copy they could post?

I'm getting rather nervous as my wife's UK visa runs out end of Jan and I dont want to pay for a new visa, or for her to have to go to US ahead of me

Thanks Again,

Andrew

I phoned the Department of state (Call (202) 663 1225, press "1" and then press "0" for a Visa Specialist (that option is not mentioned in the recorded phone message)) 1 week after I send Packet 3 in and they told me my interview date so a month sounds like a long time. You can find a scanned copy of packet 3 here http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/thumbna...y&uid=30186 and the forms to fill in you can get from here http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/forms/

Good luck

Thanks for that also, but we are filling through an I-130 so the forms are different I think the ones you posted are for the I-129?

Thanks,

Andrew

Yes they were

Well, I rang the embassy extort line and they said to try and ring back. I told them they had already said that before and they gave me an e-mail address and reference. So I have e-mailed them to see what is happening. Guess there is nothing else I can do. Just wait and hope they schedule this interview.

I seem to recall last year some time a similar thing when the person had sent they forms by signed for delivery. They were in fact delivered to the main Embassy mail room and not to the Consular section. That person waited some weeks for the packet to get to the Consular section. This reminded me of it especially as you say there is a receipt for the delivery.

Well it was addressed to the immigrant visa unit, so that would be pretty annoying! Hopefully the e-mail will sort things out.

Yes but the postie can't get into the visa unit to get it signed for. So in goes into the Embassy PO Box and when that is collected they signed for all the recorded stuff etc. With all the mail they must get each day not surprising a bit goes the scenic route now and again.
