My fiance has just arrived to the U.S.A. we plan to get married at the beginning of February 2012.

Is she able to legally work before our wedding?

If so, please provide any and all information as to how she can legally work asap. Thanks!

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the replay and checking with your SO.

All timelines vary and it's not only the medical but also packet 3 that would influence when you will be allocated a date. I sent the documents on the 20th July, had my medical on the 25th July, got an interview date allocated on 9th August and interview is 4 weeks from that date.

However the medical was logged before the end of the week, the packet 3 took 2.5 weeks before they confirmed they had my documents.

Good luck on your journey.

Thank you for the quick response. So you're saying that from the time she sends her packet 3 it could take 6.5 weeks until her interview?

It took 6 months only It should have been 5 months only if I had my interview by August. I'm so happy and excited to be with my Baby

Thank you VJ members

I'm so happy to hear that everything worked out so quickly. My fiance and I are in the same boat that you were in. I was wondering if you had any idea how long it takes to get an interview at the London embassy after packet 3 is sent off?

My fiance lived in London. I will ask her if she knows of anywhere decent to park.

I also had a question for you because you're in the same boat as she is. Amazing I've been waiting to speak to someone like you. Finally.

I was wondering if you could tell me something. My fiance just did her medical examination. How long will it take her to get her interview after her medical examination? We're dying to know.

I'll fill you in on a car park if she knows of any nearby. Thanks

Hi guys,

My interview is coming up fast and normally I would just take the train to London and then use public transport. However, circumstances have changed so I need to have my car nearby - can someone recommend a car park near the embassy and possibly also give me an indication how bad traffic will be to get there for an 8am appointment (thus I guess should be there at 7.30, ideally?) I'd be coming from the North (M11).

Any Londoner's around who could shed some light, please?

Many thanks!

good to know, thank you very much. Now I just really hope that she can get her interview soon. I left England a while ago and our separation seems like it's been a lifetime.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if you could please shed some light on our current situation. My fiance is in the UK and has just had her medical examination. After the medical info is sent to the embassy and she sends all of the other required information to the embassy - How long will it take until she can have her interview?

I've read 10-12 weeks. Can that be correct? I sure hope it's much much quicker than that!

Our petition expires in November. I'm not only dying to be with her again but I definitely don't want our petition to expire before her interview. Is that even possible?
