  1. Shortage Time From UK-USA

    Hi just to butt in here! It has taken me 2 yrs, 10.5 months to get my visa- it still hasn't sunk in yet..... The fact that my papers were "misplaced" by my attorney several times and the horrendously long processing time at Texas SC certainly try yo...
  2. Got my visa!

    Hi all! Finally had our interview today (if you can call it that!),- signed 2 pieces of paper, raised our right hands, interviewer apologised for the delay and that was it... :balloons: Have to go back on Thursday for our passports. Have another 4 ...

    My visa fee bill was paid in Jan-$335, got a letter from my attorney saying I had to pay another $45 when i go for interview, as fees are now $380 per person. As if it doesn't cost enough already!
  5. just a question about my files

    Whether you are effected by retrogression would depend on where you were born. As far as I know ( correct me if I am wrong), only India, China and the Philippines fall into the retrogression catergories. All other countries are current. Does that cla...

    PS forgot to mention- once you have a case number from the NVC you are able to call the automated ph number, this will tell you where you are in the processing situation. :)

    I am guessing that phase 1 approval is the completion of review by the service centre (?). The paperwork is then passed onto the NVC who process it next. The visa fee bill is then requested ( about 4-6 weeks after you are entered into the NVC system ...

    Hi Sue, I feel for you! Have they given you a reason for the delay? Has the visa fee bill been paid yet? Hopefully she is giving the worse case scenario I seem to have ground to a halt here also. I called the embassy last week ($2.75/min), they put m...

    Hi Sue, just wondering how you are going with your application? Where are you up to now? My papers have just been sent to the Sydney consulate, who inform me it is a 2-3 month wait for interviews now- can't win! Plenty of time to work on Packet 4 I...
