    Thanks, TamaraM. In regards to the DUI I was only asked besides this offence had I ever been arrested. Which the answer is no. So it was all fine. However I was really nervous. It was just one of those really unfortunate things that happened many years ago that continually seems to haunt me...

    Today I was approved!!! The whole process was identical that has been described in past posts - especially from Zootfish & Coen. The whole thing was very easy and very quick despite the fact that I felt very nervous. The interview itself took no more than five minutes. I was essentially asked...

    Hi Beech Best of luck today!!! I am know I am way to late but i would suggest the best method of payment would be via credit card. As you are paying in US $s you can then rely on your banks exchange rate rather than the consulates. I would imagine that is why there is conflicting information on...
