    Do you know if they refund you all the tax you have paid in the tax year or a % of what you have paid in tax for this tax year? Apologies - I did some reading on this yesterday but I haven't looked at it all in depth yet.

    How did the medical go?

    @WoodlandsFamily did you manage to look into or sort out the Covid vaccine booster for your children who are under 12?
  4. SL2024
    No worries - free is always preferable of course haha I think I might have one of those annotations on my K1 visa. I will have to check but its good to have found out what the different annotations mean as well.

    Boots do private Covid vaccination for just under £100 if you are looking for a Covid vaccine booster before you travel. If not then I imagine you would get one in the USA.

    That's understandable - makes sense to sort things out no instead of leaving it until later

    Hi, Just to give an update on this. I spoke to my network provider earlier and they said I could change to a pay as you go plan and keep my phone number but that I need to give them 30 days notice to change me from my contract to pay as you go. They said I have an option in my contract where I don’t need to pay an extra fee. Also they said I just top up £10 of credit as and when online or on the app, I don’t need a new SIM card and that I could dual SIM with a US phone number as well. I just need to call or text every 6 months just to make sure I keep active on their network but it was a very helpful call.

    No worries! I can imagine that there is a lot to do and sort out. When are you travelling over to the USA?

    Thank you - I think I am going to go into a store for my network provider this weekend and speak to somebody about it and see if they can change me to a pay as you go plan

    Oh I meant the UK side of things

    @appleblossom I forgot to ask but did you sort this out over the phone or in store with your network provider?
  12. SL2024
    No worries! I forgot to say that I stored my bag there when I had my visa interview. Do you have your visa interview soon?
  13. SL2024
    Wouldn't your fiancee have received it? As they were the petitioner? My fiancee is the one who received the NOA2 back as she was the petitioner for us and she let me know that she had received it.

    Hi, I had my visa interview last month and the name of the cafe near the embassy is District Coffee. They open at 07:30 and it is £10 to store a bag and £5 to store a laptop. Hope that this helps!

    Definitely understand what you are saying regarding getting time of at Christmas. I am hoping me and my fiancee can get mine sorted 2 weeks after travelling to the USA.

    I was told during my interview that my visa was approved but I think it took a day for it to say Approved and then another day for it to say Issued. I think everything should be ok though. Keep checking the CEAC tracker, however, I'm not sure if it will be updated over the weekend so best to check early next week.

    Thank you for letting me know!
  18. SL2024
    Agreed - I will have a look into it a bit more in terms of cost

    Apologies I could have worded my original post better. I know that there is a termination fee with my provider already but what I meant was that I was more curious to see whether people had cancelled their UK phone contracts when they moved? As was interested to see if they kept their phones and phone numbers, etc. I will need to have a look more in depth to see if there is anything I will need my UK number for (I think it’s likely I will need it for things like codes from my bank) but I think a SIM only deal sounds a very good option and not a bad price as well. I will have a look into that a bit further! Thank you for the advice @appleblossom.

    Hi all, I had my visa interview last month where I was approved and issued. So I now have the process of sorting things out in terms of shipping my stuff over to the USA when I travel later this year. I think I already know the answer to this but I just want to make sure. I was just wondering if people had to cancel their phone contracts and pay a fee to do so? As I will have about 6 months left on my mobile phone contract when I plan on travelling. Hope you can help.

    Congratulations on your visa being issued. Has your passport and visa been delivered since you posted this?
  22. SL2024
    Keep checking the CEAC status as it will say “Issued” when the visa has been sorted
  23. SL2024
    It was 3 working days for me

    Hi all, I had my visa interview 2 weeks ago and I was approved which is great. I just wanted to ask people what shipping companies/couriers they used to send their items over to the USA if possible please? I have been looking into a few already (DHL, Fedex and UPS) and been getting a few quotes. Hope you can help.

    Just thought I would give my opinion on this if anyone else on the forum was still deciding on hotels. I didn't stop in a hotel when I had my interview as I stopped overnight at my cousins place but if I did then I would just look at a Travelodge or a Premier Inn that is near the Embassy.
