Does anyone know if I can take an I pad mini in with me, was going to download some bbc I player stuff and games to keep kids busy. Anyone know if this is allowed, as could not see it on the website. Or can I take sticker books and felt pens.

Also am I allowed to take some food with me? Our appointment is at 10am and been told to allow 4 hours, so right over lunch. What sort of food and juice can you get?

Is a small hand bag bag ?

Thanks guys
Lindsay
See here, post #36 et seq. Books and pens have never been an issue. Luckily the people making the rules have never heard that "the pen is mightier than the sword", otherwise that might not have been the case!

You might want to look at this thread. It's one of the "stickies" on the main page for this forum.

Ian,

I know that you are legendary for always being right, and indeed you have given the "correct" advice again here, ..... one hour and sixteen minutes after very similar advice was provided. Except that the earlier advice linked to the most current info, and cited which posts to look at.

Well, if it's good advice, surely it's worth repeating!

I prefer to let people follow the progress of a thread.

Officer will ask you questions to determine your reason for traveling to the United States. You should answer these questions truthfully and thoroughly. In most cases, the consular officer will tell you at this time if your visa application is approved. If your visa application is approved, the consular officer will keep your application and passport so that we can issue the visa.

"... so that we can issue the visa"? Is there something we need to know about you?
