Hello everyone,

after 13 months of waiting I finally have my interview tomorrow at the embassy. I'm a bag of nerves. I'm setting off straight from work tonight and catching the overnight bus to London. I must have checked my documents 50 times but I'm still so nervous I've forgotten something. I've been told such differing stories that i'm not sure what to expect at all.

Thank you so much to everyone who has offered advice and encouragement throughout the process. If anyone is interested i'll write up a summary of my embassy experience after tomorrow

Wish me luck!

Good luck Marie, I had my interview last month and it wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be.

There is a Waitrose next door to the consulate, so if you get there early, you can pop in there for a coffee.

I checked my paperwork a thousand times before leaving the house.

Oh that's good. i'll definitely need the coffee as i don't expect i'll be able to get much sleep on the bus tonight. I'm so nervous already.

Is there a sit down coffee shop in the Waitrose? Asking as my son's US girlfriend will be with him when he has his interview, but won't be attending it with him.

Yes there is
