Re: DCF London - today's interview

Well some would say I'm mental for doing this not once but twice... ;)

Anyhow, a quick story relating to the different A numbers mentioned above: we flew into ATL on 28 May, primary processing was...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

No kidding.

Anyhow, that particular point relates to vaccination waivers. On the vaccination worksheet they ticked "vaccination history incomplete" and "may be entitled to a waiver", and when I...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

Got my passport back today (it was actually issued a week back, but I had them send it to my parents'), so I can now give this with a definitive answer: "No". You're assigned a new "Registration...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

Unfortunately no - the doctors indicated that they wouldn't be able to give me an appointment that would allow me to make the 9.30am Embassy appointment. I know the previous practitioner used to be...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

Ah, okay. I-797 is the "proper" notice that's issued for the other residency visas (such as your previous one, presumably), and comes on nice decorated paper rather than the plain paper of the...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

If you've got an I-797 then can I assume you're not doing a DCF? It sounds like it with your wife coming to visit. If that's the case I'm not really the one to ask for timelines because the two...

Re: Surrender of UK driving licence

Cheers for the thread link - I tend not to venture outside of MBV, so I forgot to widen my search when I was doing it.

Surrender of UK driving licence

Just a random query about driving licences: my understanding is that as a visitor you can drive in the US for a year on a valid foreign driving licence but that if you are actually resident then...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

This isn't really anything to do with the visa interview, but I thought I'd add it just to put things in perspective. As I was going out of the Embassy grounds I ran into a lady who was coming from...

Re: DCF London - today's interview

Whereabouts are you at in terms of time at the moment?

I didn't provide them with a date until the point at which we contacted them asking for an earlier interview, though when I was there today...

Re: Marriage Visa - criminal record

POA was a 1986 law and is as yet unamended in these particular terms. If you're being prosecuted under a 1996 law it's not this one.

Re: Marriage Visa - criminal record

Re: Consideration of previous time as resident for DCF
