managed to hold back from calling embassy today...going to call tues/wed to chase up interview, that will be 7 working days since packet 3 was overnight mailed. That should hopefully be long enough to pick it up and enter into system.

i'm trying desperatly to hold on until middle next week to chase up embassy to find out if they have my packet 3. I want a late jan/early feb interview but I don't want to risk them doing what they did for Julez as not going to get my co-sponsor stuff until middle next week and I like a bit of a buffer time wise. We all know what the postal service like.

I remember when I started this process me and Nick wereplanning 2 weddings...now we just having one. We were planning courthouse please sign here wedding once I got there then save up for the main one a year later....decided just to do the one and thankfully things working out...only issue I can see stopping us making it now is getting declined at interview.

Definitely - I'm glad we knew each other a fair while first but I still felt embarrassed explaining things to my family - especially after we tried to make a go of it six years ago and it was... interesting to put it mildly!! Now the family are fine but it is still awkward explaining to people how we met!!


I know exactly what you mean. Mind you most people tend to respond by saying something like "wow that's so exciting" I usually reply with "exciting? you obviously have never dealt with US immigration!"

it's the flying bit that gets me the most....I'm terrified of flying, I get physically sick for 2-3 days before it and on the day I fill myself with rescue remedy plus it takes around 2 days to recover! I still the bravest thing I have done.....................taking the plunge and just going "#######" and going alone to another country to meet someone I met online only 5 months earlier. Kinda sounds like a really stupid thing to do when you put it so basically doesn't it!?!?!?!

Oh I'm offloading my dress on my mum then pre-June I am going to box things up that I will have shipped later and just cram into cases anything I can't bear to be apart from for any period of time!! Or essentials!! biggrin.gif I still can't quite believe I am doing this - does anyone else still have that kinda crazy thought - the feeling that they are having some kind of out of body experience!? Or is it just non-USCs? Or is it just me?!?!


nope I definatly I have moments where I feel this is all some sort of dream then I realise...nope...I am turning my life upsidedown, going off to get married and live on another continent.....now this is coming from a woman who once said she wouldn't ever live the village she grew up in for anything or anyone!!!....Love does insane things to usually sane people

I have a big case that is maximum dimensions and a cabin case (blue and bright green so I recognise it). Will also be taking the 1 handbag I own squashed with stuff. My cabin case is going to be wedding dress and big case full of clothes. My mammy going to gradually mail over my other items I can't bear to part with.

Haha - I think 6 weeks is a little hopeful! To be honest I think I would freak if I got it before - it makes better financial sense now to wait until June so I can be with my mum on her 50th and not have to fly back and forth too much or risk missing it if AP takes forever :/

It's a little lame but at least now we know we will defo be together at the end of June, we can have our wedding(s) that we want (will be sure to post pics from all three of the days laughing.gif) and we can save more money to get a place together smile.gif We both got a lot of money from my family for Christmas. My gran gave us £1000 as a wedding present and we got another £300 or so from various people for Christmas so that's almost $3000 - will defo help out!!

I think now even if I get my packet 3 before Feb I will prolly delay sending it back just in case I get an interview date for when I am due to be in the US that would be awful! It gives me plenty of time to prepare as well so it all works out - and it's not like we aren't used to spending time apart now! laughing.gif

On another note - I am trying to track Jeremy's flight but it appears to have been delayed (was meant to be 11.55 GMT then was delayed until 12.20) and now it is saying in the status to call airline!! I just want to see him on the map!! Grr!!!



I can just imagine the note to embassy......."eeeerrrr can I have a different interview date? You see I'll be actually over there getting married!"

Debz I kinda know what you mean - I like to get things done and out of the way so i can relax - if I am cooking, I have to clean and tidy the kitchen as I go etc as well - I can't stand sitting down to a nice meal and knowing I have to get up and clean everything!!

I agree with the AOS stuff. Of course not looking forward to dealing with USCIS again but at least I'll be there and we'll be married and working towards our future together.

One thing for sure...this is definatly a test of any relationship that most never have to go through. I think we will all have much stronger relationships for going through this.

You can bring the kids! Or dump them on their grandparents!! Lol smile.gif And Debz - it'll be fine - we can just spend time in the casinos/bars and they have aircon biggrin.gif


UMMMMM, no airplane ride with 3 kids. No, nay, never!!! Or maybe when they're a bit older, but for now, we fly solo! As for the grandparents, my Mom is the only one left and they are a handful for her on her own! I usually take the divide and conquer approach and find a different place for each of them!

hahaha! at least then I guess it ends up a holiday for them too. I have to admit I hate being stuck sat next to a kid that wont settle on a plane!

It would be bizarre to meet on medical day! But my guy is at Bentick Mansions @ 2:30 pm, so unlikely for us. I still think we should plan for a meetup once everyone is over from the UK - that would be a blast!


I'm kinda hoping for a late summer/early autumn Vegas meet up - I will have to have my legal wedding then so thought it would be awesome if everyone met up for a long weekend of something then you could all come to my wedding - would be awesome!!


That would be so good...just one problem.....a scot in the summer in the desert.....YIKES! I'll die!

Well, according to the DHL tracking our petition was signed for at the embassy today, but DOS still does not show it in the system at the embassy. hopefully it will get recorded in tomorrow. anyone know how long it took for their petitions to show up in computer system?? on a brighter note my fiance got his medical scheduled for Jan 7th, so we are on our way. just still really hoping to get an interview by the end of January to make our Feb 16th wedding date! we need to get our stuff inputed into the embassy system so we can send off the packet 3 which thanks to VJ we have all ready to go!!!! we are cutting it sooooooo fine.......fingers crossed innocent.gif

Weedebz, how did you find out your files arrived to and left NVC? helpsmilie.gif


Call the DOS (Dept. of State) @202-663-1225, select Option 1, then option 0. You give them you USCIS case # and they'll give you your consulate specific case # if your file is at NVC. You can then follow up every few days to see when it has left NVC, when arrived at emv=bassy and when embassy sent packet 3 and date of interview.



Thank you very much Weedbez! good.gif
