im slightly confused.

and how did your police certificate get messed up? did you not use the acpo link provided by the embassy?

crazy day!

congrats to everyone who made progress today. : )

i'm just frigging happy. i dont know what to do with myself. i looked at the forum and thanks for that, i'm gonna ring him now and let him know what to put on the form tonight.

We were approved!! Not sure if he used the link..knowing him, if it was part of the packet instructions he did use it! There seems to be a lot of confusion these days with the UK police on what they are doing. In any case the infamous red-headed woman gave us a waiver on that document, took the one he brought and granted us our new life in America

What documents are they asking for? But, congrats!

he didnt fill in th e oath at the bottom of the i134 properly, so we have to send it again. and co sponsor. we actually have one but the fed ex didnt arrive on time. Because he's a personal trainer and hes just starting his businesss, we thought it would be best. but we have the co sponsor forms so thats not a problem, and the bit on the i134 is no biggie........... so i'm just trying to relax. i had to come home and sleep because i didnt sleep a wink last night, kept waking up all night so I feel shattered.

enough of my ramblings

lol

What did he write that was wrong? I am getting nervous now!

lol hunny dont get upset. where he had to write the i intend to support ......in the oath he didnt tick the box and he put n/a ( k1 fiance visa immigration process) he should have ticked the box and said fiancee k1 visa or somethign to that effect. i will check with the model form. it really was just a silly mistake..... i am positive you wont do that.

Good luck to everybody having their interview today. Hope everything goes smoothly and you all get your visa approved.

Diary of a Visazilla ( some corrections added)
Thanks for all the best wishes. I just got back from the embassy.. whoever said that this is an anticlimax they were definately wrong. I sat there in the airport lounge inspired by 1975 and watched as everyone but myself ( i was 5001) got called up. I was there from 7.20 or there abouts. Eventually i got called to the final interview at 9.20 am. By which time I had had several small heart attacks everytime a number was called that began with 5000 , 1 crying fit in the toilet and multiple visions of denied, denied, denied. What a drama queen. I told you I'm a visazilla.

Then I saw the carrier of my fate, window 16. Sunny blonde smiling mid forties american lady. "Hey sorry about the wait." "where did you meet, when was the first time you met him, where did he propose ", she glances with a smile at our photos , you can see she likes a bit of romance " whats his mothers name, have you met his parents, does he have children whats the babymothers name, yada yada yada" at this point my mind starts to blank out alittle. however she smiles back at me..... looks at the financial papers. The I134 wasnt filled out properly at the end. Hands overthe blue form of shattered dreams. " just send the form to us with your passport you dont need to come back, ring this courier no and they will come and collect it. when are you gettting married oh it will get to you before then ...." so i asked " are we approved" " oh yes, your approved just send us the documentation and we will get the visa sent out to you".

i did a little dance at the window.

Care to join me??

Visazilla made me laugh. I can relate. And I love that Bridezilla show. Too funny how spoiled and selfish some of those girls are.

and trashy? ugh. sometimes that show just makes me uncomfortable!

re bridezilla's v Visazilla
yup, they put all that effort money in and the wedding still looks tacky. it amazes me how women in these shows transform from accomplished women, some very successful to mere babies when they put on a wedding gown. I know lots of women have fantasies about the wedding day, i dont. so i dont quite understand that. However, have any of you just found you went through a period of watching wedding tv excessively....i know I did, i just so wanted that one little ceremony.

I m a bit appalled by my zilla'ish behaviour, getting papers sent, going over and over checklists......lol. its funny when you are so focussed on something how you act. notice in these shows the husband to be is like a bit part actor in the show of "me, myself and I"; it felt like though i was focussing on us, it was just me. I often said things like " You dont understand what I'm going through" and "But this is about ME! not you" lmao...... seriously.......

Thank fully he loves me..............with my bad self lol

Here ya go Mr/Mrs. A link to make you feel like you're lining up at the embassy.
It should come up with the street view on the corner of the embassy. Move the N around the circle in the top left corner to pan the view.
http://maps.google.c...386792452830157

Check out the long line the day that pic was taken...around the corner. The line is headed toward the boxy thing out front (Security room). Then you go inside the iron fence and follow the sidewalk around the corner to the entrance facing Brook St. , near the end of the line of people in this photo. On our day, the line end was about where the person in bright red is.

Have fun getting in your virtual line to attend the interview with Jamie.

aww. how nice is that? thank you. it does make me feel better. i have spent 5 years trying to share experiences with jamie being on different continents. im pretty good at it. i can track the progress of his train when hes traveling, i have my weather software set to show me what the weather is in macclesfield, i keep my clocks on uk time (BST <3)....and things like this help me. even if i am only imagining, it does help me feel part of the experience. so thanks. i appreciate it.

but, HOLY COW. that line is 11 times longer than i expected!

jamie informed me today that he does not want to go early to the interview (his is at 10 which seems comparatively late). <sigh>. i still have a few hours of lobbying left, but i suppose in the end it doesnt matter.

is that queue like that at 7 am in the morning or just at a specific time???? i'm gonna get there well early then.

lol thats so funny because i have my clocks set to detroit time, i set my home page to detroit so i can see what's going on there. its now five days or thereabouts to our interview on friday. I'm not as nervous as I was, just frigging grateful its coming to an end one way or the other. I dont know if any of you know the show "Bridezilla's" but seriously for the past 4 months Ive been a "Visazilla" , an absolutely horrible person; irrational, arrogant, rude, volatile. who knew the visa process was a chamber that once you stepped in you faced a jekyll and hyde transformation. I truly hope this is it for us, and on to AOS.
congrats to the graduate(s) of last week, all the best..............

well just finished his tax return. 1 ( ie this year) should be enough and w 2s , right???

i think there is a difference between 'enough evidence' and 'more than enough, but a comfortable level of evidence' which probably varies from couple to couple.

i am a worrier and i try to think of every angle. so for me, my comfort level is way too much (see my interview checklist for an pretty extensive list). but, again, for me, thats what's best. ill just make scrap paper out of all of the extra documents.

but really, i think, though ive not been through the full process, it seems like the london US embassy is fairly straight-forward for the documentation that will satisfy the CO. if you are in good financial shape, you may not need a lot of extra documentation. if not, do your best to present your financial situation in the best light possible.

i agree, but from the posts, I can see that that is ok. we have co sponsor and all his financial docs so i think it should be ok. i just need to get them here. i was thinking buying usps 1 - 3 day service but its like 60 quid. i have had things sent in the ordinary post take up to ten days to get there. so i 'm not taking any chances you know.

hope everyone is having a stress free weekend, if you are, just ...............breaaaaaaathe.

clarification please:

the original of the NOA2 is not necessary to have for the london embassy interview, correct? in fact, you are unlikely to need it. i emailed a copy of it to jamie, but did not include the original. the story may be different if you are working with an expired NOA2.

and moira, relax! : ) the more energy you spend on worrying, the less you will have to devote to making sure you are doing everything correctly. your time frames are normal. sit tight.

You don't need the NOA2 for the interview.

you need tax returns AND w2's for most current year filed (2008, because your interview date is after the tax deadline). and its not a bad idea for previous year's either (say 2006, 2007).

congratulations, i bet it must feel like the shackles just fell off eh.

thanks for the information. I am actually completing his tax return this week for last year, there is an issue with past tax returns thats why i asked, but i will do this years and deal with the others in lieu.

i feel pretty much the same as yesterday, but my motto is This too shall pass, nothing ever stays the same, no matter how dismal it may seem.

Hello,

new to this UK thread. We have our interview on the 24th of April 2009, so yes i'm bricking it, i'm in constant floods of tears, i've thought of every scenario ( good and bad) and I think it become a tiny bit of madness. I would love someone s support through this it seems like few ppl know what its like to miss someone so much that you feel like a dead woman walking. help????

Don't worry, you're not alone. It's best if you try and keep yourself busy and try not to over-think about it so you're all perky and bouncy when the interview comes around. I'm on AP (additional processing) myself likely because of issues to do with my birth certificate, but I was otherwise told I was good to go. And trust me, my brain and heart want to explode because I miss my Knight so much -- but it's not that far away at all. :: Hugs :: Trust me, we're all either in the same boat as you or there are those of us who've already been through it! You'll be fine.

Magpie.

Well thanks to all of you. I was beginning to think that I was the only one going through this and feeling the way I do. I dont think its just the waiting to see him or the up and downness /lack of certainty about the visa process, its " i'm leaving my family" its "i'm not sure I will get a job over there" its "I'm gonna be the odd one out (over there)" all of which i'm ready for but I just dont know where to start to prepare for the difference. All we can do is go one step at a time this I know. Forgive me if it seems i'm a little upset, but this week has been a doozy( at work, and this) just needed to talk about it to ppl that know what its all about.

can someone also tell me if i can use w2's instead of tax returns??

all of your kindness is appreciated, will keep you all posted

Thanks magpie

i do keep myself busy, I try at least. I go to the cinema alot now, shop and decorate. lol I just miss him all the time, it seems like an age before I get to see him. I broke down crying in Tesco thursday night, and its not the first time. lol. luckily my friend was there to help me out. Its all so new and a bit scary to be honest. sorry to hear about your AP, but by the looks of things it wont be long for you at all, think that this time next year it will all be a distant memory for you.

UK B!tches Unite!

I failed my driving test.

The woman was very impersonal and didn't look at me once. I managed to do the general driving, 3-point turn, parallel park and everything... but failed cause she told me to pull over to side of the road 6 inches away from the curb and I hit the curb. Then she told me to reverse 50ft next to curb and I hit it again with both wheels, so she ticked 'hit curb' as immediate fail.

I don't think I can get the job now as they already waited 3 weeks for me to get the license. I'll see what they say tomorrow, but very very sad today. I have another test on Friday with the same woman but I still think I'm gonna fail again, even my husband and his dad struggle to reverse against the curb and not hit it.

oooh no. so sorry. since when do you have to do that???? thats terrible. ok well, friday it is. how do i not hit the curb, man its hard to explain without showing ya, i reverse in at a right angle looking i the right hand mirror until all the curb disappears without me craning my neck, then i quickly turn the wheel to fit in the space and reverse in. i did this so many times in london, that its something that i just do, , well now you know your weakness you can practice till friday, this is more than possible, gemma, its just one thing. when i failed in london, i failed on sooooooooooooooo much stuff it was ridiculous.. the second time i went home and cried...
second time will be the charm fo r you though.. :thumbs:

Thank you both for your reply. In the meantime I have emailed the Embassy in Kyiv for a clarification on the matter and whether Lena requires the police clearance from her time spent in Africa (over 12 yrs ago) and informing the consular section of the difficulty of acquiring the report. Have not heard back yet (can take up to 10 days for an email reply). Also, Lena has found an old Russian acquaintance who has agreed to file a request for the clearance (happy day). Also also, I have requested an expedited replacement divorce record from the State of Michigan and should receive it within two weeks. Such a learning experience! Good luck with your journey.

I'm a December filer and am waiting patiently for NOA-2. Been browsing the Ukrainian portal for a month now. Currently being proactive and trying to obtain my fiance's police clearance from Cape Verde, Africa - what a cumbersome process. No one there seems to want to help so there I'd no other choice but to hire a local English speaking attorney to procure the document for the interview in Kyiv (need approval first). Anyway, my intended question is: since I sent original divorce records with my K-1 app, will photocopies suffice when my fiance appears for the US Embassy Interview (again, pending approval of our app). I was fortunate to hAve spent the better part of October with her in Kharkov and again for a glorious New Year and Orthodox Christmas. Thanks all for reading and God speed!

Visa did not print today either...I am guessing probably Friday or Monday we get the good news that its on its way back to my fiance. I called DOS twice in one hour

....just because I was hoping to get a better person the second time around to tell me exactly what is going on. Well, it was worth it, because the first time around the guy just told me its in admin processing, and the second time around, the lady told me exactly what she saw on her screen: that the embassy put the passport in their system on the 15th of June and no updates after that...so it is not in admin processing, or any further checks...she doesn't really know what they are doing with it, but at least it is a comfort to know my fiance was not put into AP after submitting his passport...but I can't help hanging over the edge until my fiance gets his visa in his hand...

Ok Marm did you hear anything back yet?

as for me the courier finally came today and took it allllllll away, hopefuly to just bring it back in a few days. I really hope so. still we will see huh.

I'm Here!!!! Just clock watching at the moment. Booked my ticket for september 5th...have to give work like the most notice and they wont negotiate f***ers!!!
I think this time apart is the worst for us because nothing stopping me from moving except work commitments and few other loose ends.
Wah gwaaaan prima? Not sure if i fully understand whats happening in your case. Are you saying your fiance is being lazy??
[/quote]

no, we are waiting on a co sponsor, who is quite busy with three jobs, he has to send us a birth certificate which he recieved on Monday we cant seem to get through to him so its frustrating.

about lazy. why wont work let you go? i wanted to give notice this week to be honest but the lateness of getting the docs might prevent me. i foolishly booked my ticket for the 6th of july!!!

Just something I took note of with the most recent approved pending additional docs cases from London: (tomaran and JimandChristy) . From the point when the embassy acknowledges that they have received the documents/passport, the visa is printed 3 days afterward, delivered on the 4th day from embassy acknowledgment. This of course may not hold true for all recent approved pending additional docs from London, but at least it makes some sense and gives me comfort that my fiance can hopefully get his visa in hand by this Friday. And I called DOS again today (of course) to find out whether they had printed my fiance's visa yet or not, and I guess they had someone new to answer the phone because she gave me the date that the embassy acknowledged my fiance's passport in their system (and many times before when I asked about dates when calling DOS, they always told me they can't tell me exact dates...) which is June 15(Mon), so we have high hopes that my fiance gets his visa in hand by this Friday.

Prima and jay: did you receive the bc from the co-sponsor yet?

update: it was delivered on monday so waitin to see if i will get it tomorrow. really cutting it fine
