London embassy

[Captain Oates 911]

Hiya. I'm the USC and my husband has his interview date for the 7th of September in London. When we sent back packet 3, we filled in the section that asked if someone would be joining him at the interview & put my name down. Is it okay to assume that, because we're married and my name was submitted on packet 3, that I'll be let into the interview? Just when I think this process is in the bag, another obstacle pops up! Good luck to everyone who hasn't already been approved or received their visa. Sincerely, Natalie

not an expert on this subject but i asked the same thing - some say no as from august - new regulation - others say they did it last week and no problem - seems we are getting conflicting reports just now

ps Carolyn is from Milwaukee too and is missing it too - she will be back there for a week in 2 weeks time - cant be missing it too much as we are heading for Florida so she isnt volunteering for another winter !

My husband and I are considering moving to Florida at some point. We were married in Cocoa Beach and we love the area, although a hurricane did prevent us from getting married on the beach. Moving to Florida may be necessary to keep my husband happily living in America, as I don't know how he'll respond to a Wisconsin winter! I can't wait until that becomes my next concern- deciding what state to live in, rather than worrying about the visa process. Every worry from now on will be a piece of cake in comparison!

I second that emotion. Probably the first hurricane will have us scurrying back to Hubertus, Milwaukee ! I did one full winter and one half winter there and tell him 'there is no such thing as a hard climate, only inappropriate clothing'

it was 3 degrees F when I got there 3rd november ! 29 degrees below freezing point. In January I saw how blue the sky was and said come on lets go for a walk its a beautiful day - I got 200 yards and thought my hooter was going to turn blue and drop off - ran back to the house.

wait til he sees the chipmunks and 13 lined ground squirrels - I am retired so i spent all day playing with them...and a skunk !

I would go back actually - fond memories - but only if Florida is a sweaty, hurricane ridden flop. We will give it a good go ! St Petersburg is great but Tampa area generally is the target. Ordering my car on line this week to be ready for mid November then renting an apartment with short notice terms - online and unseen but i will pay over the average and get a nice place. ! That means we can hit the round running and get florida driver's licenses , car insurance and bank account immediately and it will even help with the domicile issue at the interview if that crops up. If it is not nice, we can get out with a month's notice payment.

There have been some reports of the USC being turned away but since that happened others have said they were allowed in.

Don't think now anyone can give a firm answer just say what happened to them. All you can do is go and see if they let you in. If not there are several nice refreshment places nearby.
