Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience at filing the I-130 at the London office?? We posted ours on the 5th October 07. They have taken the payment but that’s it. From what I understand they send you acknowledgment of the date filed?? Any ideas?

Cheers Matt and Amy

Married and living the UK waiting for our baby to be born!

5th October 2007 posted petition on the 5th Oct 2007 to the US embassyLondon.

10th October 2007 the filing date was acknowledged via email and post.

10th January 2008 US London Embassy asking for further evidence of a bona-fide marriage.

22nd February 2008. Finally approved!

25th February 2008. Instructions arrive for preparation for interview including F-129.

22nd April 2008 All the documents required and our statement is sent to the US London Embassy 25th April 2008 Medical appointment time. Another trip to London!

26th April 2008 Medical was fine.

10 May 2008 Appointment made for June 5th. We had to register our Daughters birth abroad with the consulate and we had an appointment for June 27th. They called and made it for the same day!

5th June 2008th Doh! Consulate officer needs my wife to prove her domicile! She told me not to worry it should not be an issue. All they want are copies of tax returns and bank statements.

Again, the waiting game.... Closer though!!!!

July 1st. Loads of things arrived!!! Our folks sent over copies of tax returns and other things to prove domicile only for them to disapear in the post! We then paid $38 to fast track more copies over on a two day delivery and guess what... They all turned up today!!!

July 2nd. Called the Embassy courier and arrange collection.

July 3rd.. package collect and taken to Embassy! Now we wait.

July 10th Visa in my hands!!!!!!!!!!! Yay ... Now to book the plane!!!!

This should really be in the dcf forum, as filing directly in London has nothing to do with a K-3! :D

Did you put your e-mail address on the I-130? If you did, you should have gotten confirmation of your filing date via e-mail. If you didn't, you may not hear anything until the approval (which you're not far from, we just got ours and we filed about three weeks before you).

If they took your payment, you have a filing date, so don't be worried!
