United KingdomQuick (dumb) question about London and I-134
YAY
pshoFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-07-20 21:12:00
United KingdomQuick (dumb) question about London and I-134

How odd.

We have several at my office, so that's where I found mine. Maybe if you know anyone in the real estate biz, they'd have one at their office that they'd let you use. Otherwise, $10 or so isn't that bad.



We have a notary on staff, but since this involves salary etc., I'd rather not share with the office.

I'm just annoyed at my bank. Grr. Grr. Grr.

One more dopey notary-type question:

What else needs to be notarized? I have my tax transcripts, and my last tax return (although that's duplicated in the tax transcripts). Anything else?

United KingdomQuick (dumb) question about London and I-134

My bank refused saying they only notarize bank documents or documents required for some bank related purpose - ie: mortgages/loans whatevs.

Every other place was $10, so in the greater scheme of things, a cheap portion of the process.



I just got back from BofA, and that's what they told me, too.

Grrr.

No problem!

But please tell me you're not being charged to have something notorized!!! :o


Oooh -- good idea -- I should go to my bank.

United KingdomQuick (dumb) question about London and I-134

Well color me silly for not remembering that! :lol:

Obviously there's no harm in it, but I just don't see the point, particularly if all I'd want a copy for is my own reference (in which case a photocopy does just fine).



Well, I don't want to spend money I don't need to -- so I'm glad I just need the one bit notarized!

Thanks, Tracy!

United KingdomQuick (dumb) question about London and I-134

I don't recall seeing that. I only had 1 notorized copy (and then a photocopy of that). They took the notorized copy from Chas.

At AOS, you use the I 864 (or I 864 EZ), which no longer has to be notorized.



Phew. Thanks! That's what I thought.

I read that weird tidbit in the "Tips" section:

When you fill out the I-134, fill out the one form, then you can duplicate it to make two copies more, and
sign all 3 in the presence of the notary, that way you end up with 3 certified copies (you can copy this
form, it says so on the instructions.) and you only have to fill it out once.

United KingdomQuick (dumb) question about London and I-134
If this needs to be moved, that's fine, but I was just wondering why I need 3 notarized copies of the I-134? I think I read that in one of the guides here, but it doesn't say why, and I've not seen anything else about 3 notarized copies. Having 3 copies isn't mentioned in my Nolo press book. either.

Does the London Embassy need this? Is this to have it for AOS?

United KingdomAlas! Another Question! Re: traveling w/o passport
Arrgh! Well, we'll cross our fingers that we get the passport back by Friday, as we're scheduled to fly early Monday morning.

Thanks for all the replies!

United KingdomAlas! Another Question! Re: traveling w/o passport
Sooooooooo... our interview is July 31 -- if all goes well, we'll be approved, and we'll get the visa.

We booked travel to Amsterdam for Monday, August 6, which may be cutting it close for getting his passport back.

Alarmed, I told my guy, and he said, "I can travel on my driver's license -- they don't like it much, but I can do it."

Is this true, because he's going from EU state to EU state? We're flying, if that makes a difference.

United KingdomCan I get a British passport?

yeah, when I found out you just texted the embassy "Id like 2 ntr da Uk 2 marry pls" and they go "you good to go? Ok, here you go, have a good life, VOTE LABOUR" and voilá, i couldnt decide whether it was a good or bad thing.

Compared to the "Whole life / heritage in a case folder, give us your dna" approach the US takes.

United KingdomWhat's "your" song?

Chopping Broccoli by Dana Carvey from the SNL skit.

Whenever I bring out the broccoli- Mel gets on the piano and sings it for me.


LOL!!!

We have two songs: the "I'm A Giraffe" song from the "Zoo Animals On Wheels" episode of "Get A Life."

The other is that Darkness song: "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" but I call it the "Sing like a Girl" song, because I can never remember the lyrics, and I sing "Here's the part where I sing like a girl!"

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Here's the part where I sing like a girl

United KingdomGood Luck Dan & Tiffany and psho tomorrow
Thanks for all the good wishes and vibes!

I am happy to report:

SUCCESS!!!

Well, like Barry Bonds' lifetime stats, it's with an asterisk, as Mr. Psho-to-be still has his passport -- he explained to the interviewer that we were booked to Amsterdam on Monday, so the interviewer told him "I'm approving your visa, but here's this form -- call SMS when you're back, and they'll collect your passport, we'll insert the visa, and SMS will courier it back to you."

So we were delighted that we don't have to stress about our holiday in the Netherlands.

Oddly, they didn't collect DS 230 Part 2.

No "welcome to the United States" but he did get a "congratulations."

I did look around to see if I could recognize Dan, but I didn't. I hope his interview went well!

No celebrities either, but a herd of Virgin Atlantic flight attendants, though.

SO PLEASED THIS PART IS OVER!!!!

United KingdomBack from the UK -- and a surprise in the mail
Just got back from my trip to the UK. Last weekend we got a letter at my guy's flat -- the embassy had refused the delivery of the checklist my guy had sent, for insufficient postage!

So we got that six weeks later! I shudder to think if we had just sat on our thumbs and wondered what was wrong, insteading of emailing the embassy!

Any way, we had a good laugh about it.

United KingdomOops
They didn't ask for my guy's DS-230 Part 2. You could fill it out again and take it with you if it puts your mind at ease.

They also have terminals there for filling out online forms -- anyone else notice that? I didn't see any printers, though, so I'm not sure what that was all aabout.

Also -- it's worth it to check in online, if you can.
pshoFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-09-06 20:34:00
United KingdomPlease advise on airlines from US to UK
Yeah -- Virgin is usually worth the extra $100 or so. Virgin codeshares with Continental from the SFO-LHR/LHR-SFO route, and for some reason, booking it as a Continental flight is almost always more expensive.
