Hi,

If you're British and have gotten your E-2 recently, could you let me know what you had to take/send off to them?

Cheers.

I sent off;

1) Cover letter
2) Copy of Contract/EPIK Notice of Appointment
3) 2 copies of E2 Visa application form/2 copies of health questionnaire
4) 2 Passport photos (one of which they returned)
5) 1 copy of degree (which they returned, obviously didn't need)
6) 1 set of transcripts (returned, didn't need)
7) Passport

I was a bit concerned I didn't have a copy of my Background Check to include, but was told it wasn't necessary.

I got my passport back with the visa stamp in 1 working week.

Hope this helps.

UK27!!!! Thanks so much for this reply. When did you get your visa exactly?

I was so worried as I too haven't photocopied my background check with apostille - I have no idea why I didn't do this and I'm mad with myself.

Hopefully the goal posts won't change in the next month and a half or so, when I should be getting my visa number!

Thanks again!

I did this end of June I think, so about a month ago.

I know exactly what you mean, I could have slapped myself for not photocopying my background check! Went into a major stress!

Anyway, hopefully the embassy in London won't change their policy in the next month or so - I don't think they will - but when you get your visa number you could ring them and make sure.

You should be fine Very Happy

Did you have to go to London personally? I'm in Scotland so it's not ideal for me to travel all the way down to the big smoke!

No.

I'm in the North so I just sent it. I included in my original package a pre-paid, special delivery envelope for them to send me my stuff back in. There and back cost about �11 'cos I did special delivery both ways as I was paranoid about my passport.
