Less than 36 hrs to the interview!!
I'm going nuts with anxiety! Tuesday is the dreaded/much anticipated V-day (Visa Day) and I'm worried about everything. Suggestions from those that have graduated are much appreciated! How did you keep yourself from pulling your hair out or biting every single fingernail off?!?!
Love you guys!
Jamie

The only advice I have for you is that you should enjoy the day. It isn't nearly as scary as you think, and the people at London seem to understand how nerve-wracking it is, as they're really pleasant. I'd go through that day a million times over.
All the very best to you, and we'll be waiting to read your account of the day. AND DON'T WORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Less than 36 hrs to the interview!!
I've got mine a week tomorrow. My breathe relax thing isn't working so I'm settling for checking everything a zillion times and worrying!
Good luck with yours!

Re: Less than 36 hrs to the interview!!
Oh yes, we've checked, re-checked, and checked some more! I'm about 99% certain that all docs are in order, just scanned the most recent checkstub and emailed it to him.
Bad thing is, he's already left for the airport (from work) to take the flight down to London and he won't get to his hotel until probably 21:00 or so. And since all he has with him is the mobile, I can't really call him or him me! <sigh> I just hate being out of contact with the night before our big day, but I'll just have to get over it. Now how I'm going to get through the rest of the day at work is another problem! How can I possibly sit still!
We've been anticipating this day from Day 1 obviously, but now that it's here, I soo do not feel ready for it. I just hope travel-wise everything goes smoothly as well. My "Just breathe in and out, unclench jaw" technique isn't going too well either! I know there isn't a reason to worry, but tell my brain that!

Please don't panic!! I had my interview in Londonn in January and I was tearing my nails out and I think now why was I so nervous! It is not as bad as you think.
THe only pain is that there is a lot of waiting and hanging around doing nothing so bring a book or something tho I was too nervous to read lol.
The guy doing the chest x-ray is a laugh. He sure will put you at ease. lol
Good Luck and please don't worry!
Love Gisela xx

Yes - it costs more to call a cell phone in the UK than a landline but this isn't everyday consumption.
It would be a special and limited purpose use

Have you tried 10-10-987....if you know where he is staying tonight...use that to call him...39 cent connecting fee and 3 cents a minute to Western Europe...I use it to call Rudolf all the time...even cheaper than the calling cards we were using...Just a suggestion.
