United KingdomVisa---Pick up at depot or courier?

Was hoping to book my flight to US asap after my visa approval yesterday 29th April but was told I would have my visa within 2 weeks. Was hoping to travel on 15th May, maybe I should give it a few more days as that would be a bit close to the wire. Any thoughts anyone?

Visa approved on Tuesday in London. Checked CEAC on Wednesday morning status shows Administrative Processing, Wednesday afternoon shows READY and now this afternoon shows Administrative Processing again!! Is this normal? Maybe they're just working on it. But I'm in panic mode now!!!!

United KingdomTravel disruptions next week & on-going disruptions at Bond Street Station
I had my interview on Tuesday of this week. With the trains all off it was a nightmare. I ended up just ordering a cab for 7am as I knew the buses would be jammed packed. I stayed in Kensington Close Hotel in Kensington High St, I live in N. Ireland and interview was scheduled for 8am so had to stay over. The reason I chose that particular hotel was because the nearest underground was only a 2 minute walk away and it was a good price. But ended up having to take a cab......£17 for a 10 minute journey!! Got the bus back to the hotel but there were about 100 people standing at the bus stop so just had to join the queue. Eventually got back to the hotel, but then had to get another taxi back to Heathrow for my flight to Belfast .......this time it was £35!!!! So my advice would be to either stay in a hotel within walking distance to the embassy or give yourself LOADS of time for your journey.

United KingdomLondon Medical - Knightsbridge Doctors
Someone I met at Knightsbridge Doctors had just paid £70 for 2 innoculations there! You see Nich_ Nick, really can't be done without here! Thanks for explaining that so clearly.

Yes for K1 you don't need to get then until you're adjusting status. But definitely get them before you go. Good luck.

United KingdomLondon Medical - Knightsbridge Doctors
I had my medical at Knightsbridge Doctors in Bentinct Mansions on Friday. Closest underground is Bond St and it's only about 10 minutes walk to Bentinct St. The staff were really nice. I had my inoculations up to date and had proof with me. If you do need an inoculation, get it with your own doctor before you go as it's pretty expensive otherwise. I was there for just over an hour. Nothing to worry about at all.

I agree. It may not be such an issue as you think. Don't give up, this is a stressful process but love will prevail. As sharky-Rex says you may not get charged with misrepresentation and you could also get a waiver. It's easy to say things you didn't mean to when your nervous. I'm very good at it!! Keep going girl.

K3 has already been received by embassy as per DHL tracking. Hopefully hear something POSITIVE this week!

Actually the case no. was sent to my husband in the letter he received. Silly me, I had to have that for filling in the DS160 which as I said earlier, I've already submitted.

NLR, do I still have to get the case no. for 129 if it has already been sent to the embassy? My husband got a snail mail letter yesterday saying it has been sent. I filled in and submitted i129 today.

Just thought I would visit here to pick up some info on how others are getting on with their K3's. Our has been forwarded to the embassy just this week but I feel that it will be closed by them as we also the 130 at the NVC. Has anyone here had any success with the k3? We just want to be together whatever the cost, and as I'm retired the green card is not so urgent.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 Visa
Some k3s are being processed, mine included. It has been received by my embassy and I have already filled out the oline form, ds160. Will be scheduling my medical appointment tomorrw and hopefully get my interview appointment soon. 130 is still at NVC, no case number yet.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust before NOA2 on I-129F... Do I do file I-134 or I-864?
I really hope you're right NLR! Our 129 is in use embassy in London and we have already submitted the ds160. At this stage we don't care what it costs, just want this waiting to be over.
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-03-11 11:06:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPlanning to file for K3
On what do you base your views.........The 129 is not quicker than 1130? There is so little information, it's not possible to verify that assumption.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi-129F and K-3
Just a wee update. I checked ceac and my case is showing READY (129). So I have my medical on Friday and then let's see what happens next. I'll be emailing the embassy on Wednesday ( they'll have the report back from medical centre by then) to see when I'll have my interview.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi-129F and K-3
There is sooooo much confusion about the 129f. Dwheels, in your experience, have you seen every k3 that gets to the embassy cancelled? I have my medical on Friday, have submitted the ds160 after receiving an email from the embassy in London to do so. I also have a 130 at the NVC and my husband has already filled in ds261. No fees paid yet, just waiting to see how the k3 goes.

NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-04-02 08:25:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 approved. Interview date at hand
Not sure about when K1s fill out the ds160 but for K3s it's as soon as you get your case no.
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-04-02 08:18:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone with K3 experience from Vancouver BC?
I don't live in Canada but I assume the policies are the same wherever you live. Great to see that others are trying for the K3. I'll be watching your progress guys. Oh by the way, for my medical and interview I'll have to fly from N.Ireland to London which makes the whole process SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE!!! Day trip for the medical and an overnight for the interview!! Hotels anywhere near the embassy in London are way too expensive. Good luck all on your K3 journey.

yea, I agree.. What happened to first come, first serve?      ... That is why this site is a bunch of #######.... all this talk and rumor ####### when nobody really knows.....  They can't possibly approve August before all the Feb-April files... it really doesn't make one bit of sense.  
 
 
It is easy to convince yourself that things will go your way and then post your OPINION on VJ... the problem is.... people run with it and then all of a sudden  it turns into the latest news... We all have high hopes that our petition will be next... Nothing is for sure until the NOA2 is in your hands
 
And I am not saying its you Lucybelle.no0pb.gif no0pb.gif . I mean in general...
 
So much information going back and forth... headbonk.gif

Yes, I was thinking that they will possibly ship out files up to June. It will make it look better for them as June is JUST inside the 5 month USCIS goal. Will be so disappointing if Overland Park will not be adjudicating 130s, it was our hope of getting off this downward spiral. I still have some hope that our petition will remain there and be approved in January as predicted on our timeline.

So did they transfer ALL files up to the end of July, from Overland Park and Lees Summit? Our 130 is in OP, and 129f is in Lees Summit. But haven't received any updates about being transferred. Nothing is ever straightforward with USCIS!!!!!! UGHHHHH!!!
