Sounds like you have everything you need. I no it's hard not to be nervous but when I finally did my medical/interview in January last year it was in the end an underwelming experience. Though it would be wrong to suggest it is never the case, and wrong to suggest you don't go in unprepared - to be honest, at the London embassy, the use of the word Interview is an overstatement. My interview literally lasted as long as it took her to do my paperwork. I was asked 3 maybe four questions, though im not even sure the girl was paying much attention to my replies. It was more like she was asking them cos she was supposed to ask them. I was literally asked "how did you meet", "when did you first meet in person", "how many times have you met" followed by a fakely suspicious "you've only met two times and your getting married" to which I replied yes, weve spend three months together combined" - to which she said ok the visa is approved. It's the waiting and the travelling (if you live outside London) that were the most painful things for me. We only had one person out of our group that was turned down, she was an 18 year old and she was turned down on financial/support grounds. Now I don't want to appear ageist, and dont doubt that 18 year olds can experience true love, but I think that her age may have had a factor in the decision, its a big decision and a big move for anyone, they told her to re-apply when finances were in order. But maybe they wanted her to make sure she was certain first.

Im sure you will be fine and good luck!!

Thanks,

Well Im 25 so I should be ok!!!

I was a bit worried becasue my fiance has only just finished graduating so she has no income per se, However her mother is sponsoring me so I guess there will be no probs there.

I should think so. As long as all the sponsor/support info is all correct and notarised etc and she has proof of adequate income to sponsor shouldnt be a problem.

You are bringing back memories of mine now. There were no trains going down that early without staying the night so I had to get up at 2:00am to get a coach from Birmingham to London. There was some crazy junkie lady on the bus that kept shouting and threatening people. There really are some odd characters in coach stations and on coaches at that time!!

I got off at marble arch. There were gale force winds blowing somthing stupid. I had all my documents in a plastic folder and I literally had to fight to keep hold of them. It was obviously still pitch black and nothing was open. I lived in London for a couple of years but still had to wonder round in the middle of the night looking for the Doctors office. It took me a while to find, in the end turned out I had walked past it several times. I remember sitting smoking on the step at 4:30am - I had recently given up smoking but the nerves and the boredom made me cave in.

I remember all the people who would walk past and not see me sat there and it scared the ####### out of em when they finally saw me, and the people who crossed to the other side of the street lol, probably thought I was a dangerous hobo.

The next person didn't turn up til about 7:00am so it was a long lonely wait.

Don't forget to pay the £63 embassy fee and take the slip with you (you got it in packet 4)! Thats the only thing I didn't see on your list.

You'll also need £9.50 cash for the courier fee for your passport, well doesn't have to be exact they have change they just don't accept cards!

We needed to use a co-sponsor as my guy is still in college but it didn't matter at all. I didn't even get asked one question about how we met etc!!

Good luck, honestly its a pain free experience if all your paperwork is in order.

Oh and don't forget to take a photocopy of your police certificate and birth certificate and I think maybe a copy of some of the supporting evidence of the I-134 (bank letter, employer letter).

Good luck on your interview....

Take a letter from your bank stating how long you have had the account and your current balance. Any other info regarding your assets and finances might help too.

Good luck with your interview, you seem to have everything in check, really as someone else said having an interview in London is not at all bad, I was really freaking out before the interview but everything went very smoothly.
