Lady, My fiance who is the UCS sent the file at the end of April 2007 and we had a problem. When he called CSC they told him to wait and we stupidly waited (unfortunately in those days we did not know VJ or we would have go ahead and refiled straight away). We ended up applying again in October. My advise would be to apply again and to get special mail delivery. Don't make the mistake we made !!!!!	L & P	Female	United Kingdom	2008-04-17 08:20:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still Waiting for CSC	I admit the system is very frustrating and unfair!!! Sara called yesterday and was told 1 month....My SO called yesterday and was told a few days and to call back in 1 week if nothing. Sara filed 2 months before me ....so where is the logic ??????? Do they just make up replies as they go ?? Is there any truth in what they say ?? i really wonder	L & P	Female	United Kingdom	2008-04-17 13:01:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	grrrrrrrrr i need to talk about that	QUOTE (KimandRuss @ Apr 22 2008, 06:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it's important to take into consideration that sometimes people from another country or culture, especially when English isnt their first language, may not intend to mean things as we perhaps interpret them. Then again... they might. It works the other way as well. Perhaps taking our time to choose our words better for the consideration of all would be a good idea for everyone. We are all dealing with high emotions here and, to many of us, the timelines are that one connection we have that proves things are actually moving. We are all bound to have frustrations with the process and with each other but remaining amicable and civil to those going through this process with us is of utmost importance. We are the only support we have to get through this. I fully agree with that ...i am french national myself ....living in the uk and my English is i think OK...but i can sometimes make mistake also ....and people don't really get what I say	L & P	Female	United Kingdom	2008-04-22 12:42:00

United Kingdom	People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~	Thanks guys. I think i am going to follow your advice Nik+heather, resending everything after 6 weeks..Which is the end of next week! But this is where things start to go CRAZZY... I phoned up the DOS today, nothing, still saying that they have not received anything. (the woman was really rude!) Then called up the US Embasssy , same thing. Nothing. Although the guy said that if you have proof of them having received it..they probably have and just to wait another 2 weeks. ahhhh!!! And now my husband just called up the DOS and they told him that everything was in order and that they were just awaiting the Embassy to assign a 'package 4'.That they had my medical results too.. she also mentioned a backlog... I think this is what is causing all the problams!!..this slow-down	siya	Female	United Kingdom	2009-08-04 12:56:00
United Kingdom	People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~	ok. Nik+Heather your right...i am an idiot when it comes to dates... The DOS told me that the Embassy sent me a letter (package 3) on the 25 JUNE ( not july)...which they did. I fiilled out the forms and the Embassy recieved these on the 1 JULY. So i guess that I have so far done everything according to what i have been asked. I also completed the medical on 13 JULY. The reason that i am starting to sweat now though is becuase the people at the DOS are saying that there is nothing on their system except when they sent ME the package 3. Kam, going by what you said about your fiance and being assigned a date in 4 weeks..well my 4 weeks is up. Do you think that this has anything to do with a backlog...maybe due to staff going away for summer etc?	siya	Female	United Kingdom	2009-08-04 05:32:00
United Kingdom	People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~	Hi, I sent in my 'package 3' to the embassy and it was recieved by them on 1 july. Everytime i phone the DOS they keep saying that: - they sent me the package 3 on the 25 July - they have not recieved anything yet I know that they have recieved it and have been told for fellow VJ's that it might not just be on the system yet.. Can anyone tell me if it is supposed to take this long? It will be 5 weeks this wednesday. I a getting slightly impatient and probably more worried.	siya	Female	United Kingdom	2009-08-03 14:15:00
United Kingdom	People between NOA2 and Interview ~2009~	hi. the actual address for the embassy is: 24 Grosvenor Square London, W1A 2LQ United Kingdom The clostest and easiest way to get there is by tube...Marble Arch on the Central Line. Just walk down Park lane and i think after about 5 minutes walk, Upper Brook Street appears on the left. Go down this street and the embassy is on your right..cannot miss it, its huge and scary looking..	siya	Female	United Kingdom	2009-07-17 10:15:00

United Kingdom	The 2009 United Kingdom Interview Thread!	YAY BABY!! I have been given the 'seal of APPROVAL' by the embassy. i can't even discribe how i feel right now.. apart of me still can't even believe it!! This is how it all went: I arrived at 7 AM, was one of the first 5 in the waiting line....security was a breeze... Things like this are difinatly not good for the stomach..I only managed 3.5 hours of sleep, and couldn't even eat in the morning!! I waited approx. 20 minutes till the staff set themselves up (the computers were down)..was the first one called up!! Handed over my documents and copies to a nice man..everything was in order..payed the fee and got my X-Ray...I was asked to wait.. Another 20-30 minutes later...i was called up again..( I thought I was going to be physically sick at this time) I got some..tall guy with glasses ( anyone?)...well he was nice..( I think he was new)..gave back my orginals and asked the following questions: -WHEN DID YOU FIRST MEET YOU HUSBAND? -WHAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU MET..? -WHAT DATE DID YOU MEET? -WHAT DOES HE DO? -WHAT COMPANY DOES HE WORK FOR? Little bit offened that he did not even want to see my wedding pictures after I offered.. that was it...I can say it was not exactly the most formal of conversations and then again it was not exactly informal...I felt kinda relaxed, just spoke the truth and was concise...( but still slightly nervous).. thankfully its all done...fewwwwwwwwww... i am just so releived right now..i finally feel like i can move and get on with my life.. Good luck to all those who are still waiting...i am praying that you all will be over this side of the pond soooon...Best of luck Thanks to everyone that has helped me with this stressful process ..the support has been fantastic!!

United Kingdom	The 2009 United Kingdom Interview Thread!	so tomorrow is D-day...almost. The interview is 8 AM but I plan to get there a little over 30 minutes early. Just to be on the safe side.. I got the appointment letter in the post yesterday..and have compiled the 'interview folder'....This is what I have included: FORMS ( 2 COPIES OF EACH) - DS- 230 part 1 - DS- 156 - DS- 156K - DS- 157 DOCUMENTS -Passport + 2 photocopies -Birth Certificate + 1 copy -Marriage Certificate + 1 copy -Police Certificate + 1 copy -Passport sized pictures (American standard) X 3 EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT PROVIDED BY MY HUSBAND (USC) -I-134 -Letter from employer -Letter from Bank manager -Bank statments including transfer of my finances -Tax Returns (2008,2007 and 2006) accompanied with respective W2's -PayStubs ( about 5 months worth) In addition: -I-864 SUPPORTING EVIDENCE -Photographes from when we met, engagement and wedding -DVD of wedding -E-tickets from when I went to the US, when he came to London and our tripe to Spain along with Hotel reservations. I am so worried about tomorrow. I know that i most likely have all the documents ( thanks to VJ)..But...( this is my story) ......In Janury 2008 I was denied an F1 (Student Visa) by the US Embassy, on the grounds that i could not prove strong ties to the UK. And then i visited the US as my parent live in MD, that July and ended up meeting my Husband. We had met back in 2006 when i was visiting family but just lost touch. Everything happened pretty fast we dated, he proposed, i said YES, our families met, we got engaged and married. As i was there on the Waiver Program, i came back BEFORE the 90 days were up and he filed for the papers with a lawyer. So nothing was illigal in any way. Since then I have visited ( March 2009), and was approved for travel by the ESTA, even after saying that I had been denied for a visa before. I had no problam at the POE either...Again i stayed and returned before 90 days. I am just sooo worried about embassy and what they will think about all of this...

United Kingdom	The 2009 United Kingdom Interview Thread!	hi ok. i have my interview schedualed for 2 nd Oct, but i have nott recieved the appointment letter yet. i am kind of worried. i remember reading somewhere on this site that it is still possible to get into the embassy with out the letter. is this true..? thanks for the help. MARM..you know it took ages for them to get my Packet 3 onto the system. Any then i was being told, yes we have it, no we dont, wait..yes we do..etc. But this was possibly due to the backlog that they had during the summer..and it does look like they have speeded up alot. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you guys!!	siya	Female	United Kingdom	2009-09-25 05:49:00
