Re: GED/High School Diploma/Degree?

I know this thread is a couple of months old now, so apologies, but I think it's an extremely useful thread.

My observations from my first year in the USA:

Re: Recommend phone cards from US landline to UK?

I use a $4.99 Skype subscription for unlimited calls from my smartphone data plan (or over Wifi) to UK landlines.

Re: Courier question

The website tracking may reflect the delivery date before the SMS is received, so it's wise to keep checking that.
If you listed a number for the SMS, it should say on the invoice, along with your...

Re: Courier question

They leave a card for a failed delivery I believe, in order to re-arrange delivery; also you can try to contact them to get the delivery addressed changed.
If you do manage to get it changed to a...

Re: IR-1 visa questions.

Just as an aside; posters are stating the Green Card takes a few weeks after arrival... Why do the issued notes say 6 months?

Re: 6 months to move?

Your visa cannot be extended beyond it's validity. If you can't use it in time you have to return it to the issuing office.

You can reapply, however, your visa may only be reissued as per your...

Re: dx secure at us embassy urgent advice

I think they are bound to deliver to the address they are sent to and since they need proof of identity, it would most likely that number 4 contacting you for you to run down and sign for it....

Re: DCF Filing in London Timescale with Dual-Citizenship

The passport proves only that they are permitted to; that was my point. They must have evidence have they are permitted to and have resided in the uk for 6 months.

Re: DCF Filing in London Timescale with Dual-Citizenship

Re: DCF Filing in London Timescale with Dual-Citizenship

Proof of validity to reside to fulfil the 6 month criteria - that's what I said! ;)
Of course one must actually have resided in the UK for 6+ months; the passport proves lawful eligibility to do so.

Re: k1 interivew approved today !!

Congratulations Ben! :thumbsup:

I think age differences are just one of those things that raise a flag in the process that they need to check into.
Nothing to hide - nothing to fear. :)

Re: DCF Filing in London Timescale with Dual-Citizenship

This is not entirely correct.
The US DO recognise dual-nationality and the USC having a UK passport can be used as proof of validity to reside in the UK to fulfil the 6-month criteria for a...

Re: Effect of USC becoming UKC, ballpark times and costs

I saw a similar thing mentioned in another thread, albeit in another context and context does matter.
In this case, being a dual national probably means little, but the US do recognise dual...

Re: USC attending interviews???

You're right; you can't go to whichever you want. They are cordoned off behind the security buildings.
USC services take the security booth to the left and can only go left; those requiring Visa...

Re: DCF Filing in London Timescale with Dual-Citizenship

I guess maybe the Olympics were assumed to have a negative effect on timelines and may have ultimately had the opposite effect due to staffing/vacations?

Re: Wait time between interview (approval) and receiving Visa?

I have also heard of (albeit rare) cases where the visa issued is incorrect or the 'mysterious brown envelope' is damaged, thus incurring a delay due to further interaction with the IV dept.
