I had my medical on the 7th March (this month) and sent off my final checklist on 11th. Around a week ago I called the consulate, the just gave me the e-mail address - I e-mailed them but got no response.

Its been over two weeks now and I'm desperate to find out when my Interview date is - is there any way I can do this?

Whatis the estimated time frame for me to expect

1. - to be informed of my Interview date via post, and

2. - my Interview date?!

Thanks so much - this is deffinately the part that seems the longest!

Right - I've managed to speak to someone - here is hoe for anyone who is experiancing the same business ...

Tel - 09042450100
Option - 2

Be warned - it costs £1.20 a minute - but they were very quick and there's no holding or silly business.

I was told I have been fully processed but am waiting for an interview spot to open up. They say I have 3-4 weeks until I recieve a letter (allthough because I am waiting for a date to come available they cannot be certain), and from then maybe another 3 weeks until the actual interview date. Baring in mind that I have allready been waiting for over 2 weeks - does this sound like a good estimate? They say it's hard to tell but to 'expect' the give dates - does this mean it may be faster? I jolly well hope so!

I would say 8 to 10 weeks sounds about normal, yes.

Before I read your followups, my answer was going to be:

About one month from you returning your letter to getting a reply with an interview date.
About one month from appointment letter to interview actual date.

So yes, it sounds about right.

Yey thanks. Two weeks down allready so not too long really ... plus I get a summer wedding! Yey!

lol, for Seattle, that will be a boon!

Do you know it snowed at the beach here yesterday? (well, just down the road from you.. it was cold up there too)
I don't know what Mother Nature is up to this Spring. Torturing me, I suppose.

Wow I just got my letter, interview on the 10th - that's next Thursday. Woot woot! Now I'm nervous though I haven't been employed for ages and they'll think I'm a bum :'(

Noorah101

Fortunately, your employment history and income don't matter at all. It's only the USC who has to prove a certain level of income. You could actually BE a bum, and they would still give you the visa. lol You'll be fine.

So the interview is just to make sure you are who you say you are?!

Noorah101

That, and for the Officer to go over your forms, make sure everything is filled out correctly, to make sure your relationship with the USC is legitimate, and overall make sure you qualify for the K-1 benefit.

Just thought I'd make sure and ask...do you have an I-134 affidavit of support from your USC fiance?

goteamrosie

Yeah I do. The only thing is becuase he is lazy he only filled out his side of stuff - if I put my name DOB ect in, will it look dodgy?

meauxna

This is true. I am here as living proof. :nods:

Noorah101

Hmmm...the form is from his side, but if he left any information about you blank, I'm not sure. Is the form notarized? He was supposed to have it all filled out before getting it notarized, I think. That might be one of the forms that doesn't need to be notarized, though. I guess it would be OK to fill out your information if he left it blank...or just wait until you get to the interview and fill it out in front of the officer. I'm not sure on this one, to be honest.

Sorry what does notarized mean?? I don't think that it has to be signed or anything. I imagion its all okay because my fiance has a lawyer. But my fiance is terrible at all of this stuff now I'm stressed.
