Part twelve; letter letter


Total sods law that the day after ranting and somewhat raving about not having my visa interview letter and therefore date, the next day it appears in the post. For such an important, international thing they always come in such unremarkable envelopes and the most plain looking text - when I got my first letter I actually wondered if it was real they are that plain. After all the hassle and the upset, of suddenley fearing it had all been lost in the post, i'd failed my medical but they couldn't get through to tell me, of them trying to break me and Joe up, i've been summon for interview in London on October 12th.

And you pretty much do get summoned, i've heard it's more then hard to get your interview date and time alletered, luckily it seems a good enough day to me just have to shell out yet another £200 odd pounds for the pleasure. Its also come in one day under the average processing time for this section, a massive 78 days over the average of 79.

So in just under three weeks we'll hopefully know the final outcome. My papers started being processed on January 18th 2011 so it will be just over nine months till we got to the interview date. It's been a long hard, unhappy and challenging process at times but i'm glad we have a date sorted. It helps just knowing you have something to focus towards.

If anyone knows anywhere locker, eurocar or hotels in central London, say around Marylebone across to Kings Cross south towards and around Grosvenor Square where you can leave left luggage that would be an amazing help.

  9. Sorry to hear your having a hard time with it, hope it get's sorted soon! The only places I can think of for left luggage round central London are at the train stations, can be quite expensive though about £9 a bag I think. x

  10. thank you Caroline, I know there's meant to be one near Kings Cross but i'm not sure what time it opens and the hotel I was in for my medical don't offer left luggage, rather annoying when your travelling from East Yorkshire with over night stuff ah!

  20. You can leave luggage at Victoria bus station and its open from 7am think its £6 a bag take 15mins on the tube from kings cross on the victoria line(maybe a few stops).....left my luggage there when I had my visa interview...make sure you dont take ANYTHING electronic with you, I had to check in a usb card attached to my keys in to another locker near the embassy which cost £11!! Here is the bus station info.
