K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsATTENTION JULY FILERS!
my medical experience is posted in the UK forum. but to state the most important bits..

funny story.... the Dr (very nice german guy) showed me into the room and just behind me I heard a string of obcenities, some I understood, others I didn't...he looked at me and said, I'll be back in a minute...turns out he'd slammed his finger in the door and he apologised for his language I just laughed and said I'd have done the same. After that we got chatting and boy he can chat! He dropped the formal stuff and was talked to me as if we'd known each other years. He also confirmed the fact that the only reason they look downstairs is to confirm you are the sex you say you are...he said he did have a fright once when bits were there that shouldn't have been.

only issues I had was the fact I have low blood pressure, always have but he just said it's on the low side of low but not dangerous so good enough for him. Biggest issue was my vaccinations...the US requires your tatanus is not more than 10 years ago...well mine was in 1995 and got asked if I wanted it done there or by my own Dr. I said I'd get it done by own Dr as when I had it in 1995 I suffered a reaction to it...the vaccination nurse wrote something on vaccination form and told me to talk to Dr. He said that if you have an allergic reaction to the tetanus it is considered unsafe to have it again as reactions can get worse and be dangerous therefore he'd sign off my vaccinations and say that the tetanus requirement should be waived on medical grounds. It shouldn't affect my application in anyway as i personally didn't refuse it, it was refused to me on medical grounds and for my own safety. Apparently I'd find it very hard to get any Dr willing to give me the vaccination either here or US and if I did get it, it would need to be under clinical supervision for 24hrs.

one another note...found embassy in london...easy to find and possibly the ugliest building I've ever seen...a crime against architecture!!!

Cool - you know if they are quick on the re-delivery thing? I would really like it if I could get them by the weekend!! I wish there had been a note on there somewhere saying they could go to a neighbour!!! Oh well - guess I can't do anything until I get back home... Now I just hope they don't keep office hours or I will not be happy!!!

You'll have your mammy with you though won't you?! You excited about it? Part of me just can't wait until I am back from the US so I can start planning things for my move - I want to be able to get excited about it but I have to plan the small details that I love before I really can - otherwise I just stress!!!


yeah my mammy coming so we hitting the shops afterwards, Day out in London, well I guess I better see the place before I leave the island!

woooooeeeee! Didn't know if I'd get online. Power and internet been up and down. Fecking scottish weather, our fence has been obliterated by the wind last night there is a house 4 away from mine with a tree in the middle of it and the very old, very large oak tree between our garden and river right in line with my bedroom window has definatly seen much better days. It seems like there are branches and trees carpeting west scotland just now. Now the rain coming down complete with huge hailstones in sheets, the river rising rapidly.

Anyways had good chat to Nick last night so feel a tad better but still really low. I travel to London tomorrow evening for my medical on friday. At least that will be one more thing out of the way. Not really stressed about medical, more stressed about getting lost somewhere in london.

Having one of those "really miss nick bad" nights. You know the nights when it just all seems to pile on top of you even more than usual and the only thing you feel could make you feel better is a hug from your OH but thats the one thing you can't have. So going to curl up with a cocoa with cinnamon and ####### TV.

Things moving really well now. I'm so happy for Julez and teach. Funny thing is I would have made my original date on 3rd May, but never mind. I prefer being safe...back to the stressing thing again. I'm not going to relax until I'm walking towards Nick. I still just keep picturing getting declined because of finances.

My dress only cost £250. My tiara is the expensive part, but I didn't pay for that, my great great grandmother did.

*whine, complain, grumble, moan, pout* I'm currently at 161 days with no end in sight. I always go through a Winter depression and this really isn't helping things. As much as I despise any concept of "normal," I'd give anything for my case to be a normal one and to receive my NOA2. This wait is so difficult.

Ignore me, I just need to vent.



absolutly won't ignore you! Everyone needs to let off steam, that's what is so good about this forum and especially this thread. We are all going through the same thing and we all understand. I'm grateful for how far I have come but I know it's not over yet. I'm so stressed about the interview due to our situation i hardly sleep for worry.

Reading all your men horror storties makes me all the more happy I found Griff!! He must have had me go over P3 with him 30 times and the list of docs he brought with him to the embassy 40 times! I kept telling him, we have everything!!! And I was right!

Update on the medfical. He just rang and said the doc remarked at how well controlled he is with his diabetes and wished him well on his new life in the US. Griff is so relieved and is now off to finally enjoy a pint even if it means he misses the earlier train home!



he deserves it. Julez this is such good news. The hard part is well and truely over.

Haha - yeah - it's nice sometimes to have someone stressy around though - makes me feel much calmer!!!

I feel much more relaxed about going through Immigration now that I am going to have some decent evidence of ties to the UK - I can almost start panicking about the fact I am FREAKING GETTING MARRIED!!!!


Ok I'll be the official july filer stresser....I'll stress enough for us all (I probably will seriously). Need to get a supply of stress balls at the ready because I have a feeling i'm gonna be popping a few over the next 4 weeks!!!!

Nick is exactly the same, absolutly nothing in life is urgent. His mammy is the same. Where as I am one of those folk who stresses about everything before I have to. Mind you I think I stress enough for me plus several others.

Got a new stress ball after I popped the last one!


Aly: congrats on the news about your job.

our actual ceremony is only about 20...the rest are Nick's extended family we seem obligated to invite so they just coming to reception. Nick has huge family. He is eldest of 6 kids and his dad is 1 of 9 (all of which have own multi child families).

my wedding is actually quite small. Only 60 people max. No dance floor or anything at reception. Just having a buffet in a room in a restaurant. Got nice ceremony venue. After reception which will probably be over by 10pm me and Nick going to a nice quiet B&B to stay in our own suite complete with hot tub for 2 nights. We having our "honeymoon" later once things settled down.

I have looked at the khusa shoes and I do like them alot. Actually just spotted some nice flats from BHS for a sale price of £13.50.
