United KingdomEstimated time from packet 3 to interview notification
I'm already getting anxious and Barry just mailed his out last week.....

Steve and Stacie...I'd give the DOS a call...they may be able to tell you if packet 3 has been entered into the system and if an interview has been scheduled...

United KingdomInterview Tip
That's absolutely ridiculous about the letter of intent! So does it have to be notarized? I never heard about the notarizing part....thought only the I-134 required that!

How recently was your letter of intent dated? Has anyone else encountered this same problem?

United KingdomAre you worried????????

The only thing that worries me about living in the US is someone using their firearm to defend themselves and the consequences of bullets flying around with just wooden walls between me and them.


In regards to self defense...in my hometown last year a small store owner pulled a gun on a robber and had his gun taken by the thief and was shot and killed with his own gun! I am anti-gun......but here in the US they are gun happy!

United Kingdomhi all... new here and in London
Good luck with all the upcoming changes...hope it is a smooth transition for you...and...welcome to VJ!

I haven't a clue about airfares...I just purchased a ticket with Continental..round trip from Cleveland, OH to Gatwick for $848 USD...I kept checking yahoo travel twice a day until I saw the price drop from $1100..then jumped on it! My previous flight with American Airlines I got a Springtime deal in March for $574 USD....good luck!

United KingdomFINALLY!!! Interview date is set :D
Finally got an email back from London embassy and now they say they have all Barry's documents except the document checklist! Unbelieveable! He is resending it tomorrow, I have replied to the email telling them he sent it in with all the other documents. Any suggestions?

United KingdomEmbassy says checklist missing!
I just received a response to my second email to the embassy, and they've found the "missing" checklist and scheduled Barry's interview for July 1st!...and he just resent the checklist today too...lol....

Thanks for all your suggestions...you're all great!

United KingdomEmbassy says checklist missing!
Barry did copy everything and he is resending the checklist tomorrow. I've also returned an email informing them that it was in the original packet 3 and he is sending a copy to them. I haven't a clue what they are up to! How can they repeatedly misplace the same form again and again?

Has anyone actually contacted a person that is physically at the embassy, other than the helpline people?

United KingdomEmbassy says checklist missing!
After waiting...and expecting an interview...I emailed the embassy last week to check...received a response today that says all documents have been received except the document checklist! Ridiculous! Barry returned all documents including the checklist in the same envelope! I returned the email explaining they have it already, and he will resend it tomorrow. He is also going to try to call them tomorrow as well. Anyone else have this same problem...any suggestions on a quick resolution? We were hoping for his interview when I'm there...I leave Wednesday and will be there for 2 weeks...

Barry just has listed books...or videos...he was told you don't need to list each individualy...that would suck!

United KingdomIs it worth calling?
Thanks...I'll be visiting Barry this week for 2 weeks...maybe I'll give them a call from his house....

Is there a number for the embassy to call from the US?

United KingdomIs it worth calling?
Barry mailed his packet 3 back May 15 and he is still waiting for his packet 4 too....soooo frustrating!
debbylynFemaleEngland2008-06-08 11:01:00
United KingdomPacket 3-Packet 4
A similar thing happened to Barry when he sent in his P-3....I called DOS and was told something was missing. I always panic when I here this sort of thing, so I had Barry call the embassy number and get a code to send an email. They replied that his checklist was missing, which it wasn't...so I in turn replied that the checklist was indeed sent with the original packet 3...miraculously they "found" his checklist after my email, and scheduled his interview. What I wonder is how many forms are "lost" and how long do they wait to inform the applicants if someone doesn't inquire...it seems they are misplacing many checklists lately. I'd email the embassy to check if they continue to say something is missing....
debbylynFemaleEngland2008-06-25 17:54:00
United KingdomWhy USA and not UK?
Barry is moving here as opposed to me moving there for many of the previously stated reasons. First my two younger boys ages 14 and 12 are here and there is no way their dad would let them go...and they don't want to move! Second I own a house and the current housing market is very depressed...so I couldn't sell if I wanted to! I also have a very good job as an RN and would have to study for another test in the UK to be licensed there!

Aside from that...I love England...would seriously consider moving in a few years if all works out....who knows?

Barry and I met on an online poetry website where we both posted poetry. I would imagine the great majority of those filing for K-1's now meet online.

Thanks everyone.

The dog is situation is not good. As soon as we got to America he has been staying out late, hanging out with all the wrong crowd, being insolent and the other night we found what we thing is marijuana in his pants.

Just kidding (obviously). He's loving it and I think he'd hate it if we ever left here. He's right at home.

BTW, debby, you mentioned doctors. Do we need to book that appointment ourselves, independant of AOS? I haven't read anything about that on here. Can anyone advise please?

All you need is for a civil surgeon to fill out the vaccination portion of the I-693 by transcribing your vaccination info from the form given to you by the Knightsbridge Doctors at your medical. Dr Arnold's office in TX will due it by mail for $20.

Barry and I were married Aug 8th and are still working on docs to send away...just mailed the vaccination stuff to Dr. Arnold...waiting for that to come back then it's filing time!
