visa...oh my

If I were you I'd email Michele and ask. It seems like an odd question for them to ask - are you planning to work - since that is exactly what the visa is for....

 

I put yes to the working question, and the address as Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. Pretty basic info, but im sure they could always clarify at the interview.

 

yeap me and kirstie are both geniuses! i put the same except i put (epcot) after WDW, and michele said that's fine

 

Lee, I think your on about Travel Insurance Web? Because I come up with a fee of £290 for Direct Travel..You sure your putting single trip and not annual trip insurance? Annual trip insurance is for people who go on multiple holidays each year...I think I'm guna go with travel insurance web when I get mine..As its £202, minus the quidco 15% cashback..I'm not exactly a accountant, so i'm not guna bother working it out exactly, but I believe it will work out around £170?

Either that, or I may just go for the 4 month one for £82, then get disney's when the choice becomes available..As its really good cover and with the cashback its only guna work out at about £70...I'm really worried about the disney one though..But I'm guessing whatever it says on the minimum requirements form, it will at least have that..

 

Yep sorry i meant Travel Insurance.

I've got a new question. On the list of stuff it says to take a passport photo within the last 6 months. Is this strict as i have some older ones from a year ago which are perfectly fine.

 

To the visa interview?

I'm not 100% sure, but do they not have to be a different size to the passport photo's? When I've been for my visa interviews in the past, they normally ask for these really awkward sized photo's! I hope they've changed it though, as they used to be pretty expensive and a nightmare to get!

 

yeah there a different size

i had to go into a max speilman shop
and it was 6 for a tenner

they did them there and then tho!

I saw some people take normal sizes to the embassy and get told they werent the right size
but the embassy does have a photo machine inside of it

but you never know, sods law would have it that its probably out of order if you need it
then your screwedd

 

So what size do i need then? I'll have to go out wednesday in the hope of getting these photos. what a bloody pain

 

Can't remember now, its on one of the sheets we got...

If you get stuck, give yummy an email...

 

"5. Obtain a colour passport type photograph which should be:
• Taken within the last six months;
• 2 inches (50mm) square, with the head centred in the frame. The head (measured from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin) should measure between 1 & 1 3/8 inches (25mm to 35mm) with the eye level between 1 & 1/8 inch to 1 & 3/8 inches (28mm and 35 mm) from the bottom of the photograph;
• Colour, or black and white against a white or off white background. Photographs taken in front of busy, patterned or dark backgrounds are not acceptable;
• Unmounted, full face, with the face covering about 50% of the area of the photograph. In general, the head, including both face and hair, should be shown from the crown of the head to the tip of the chin on top and bottom, and from hair-line side-to-side. It is preferable that the ears be exposed.
• Headcoverings are acceptable only when the face is completely exposed.
• May contain a small (one quarter inch) white border on one side."

i think i'm just going to hand that to the photographer

 

Thats a joke isn't it..Are they saying if your eye level is even a fraction of a milometre out, you have to do it all again!?

 

Filling my forms and here begin the questions for filling them in.

1. I'm typing my answers then printing it off, are you writing all in Capitals or just standard lower case?

2. What did people put as their city and state of passport Issuance? I've got the UK and Ireland option selected

3. Anyone put anything as a national ID Number? National Insurance?

4. On Q22 it asks the date of arrival. Do we put the date we arrive if flying out earlier than start date given?

5. On Q32 it asks for address of where we are working. Do i put the same as on the 'males only' form which is 'Roger....The Casting Centre'

 

alright lee, this is what i did/would imagine is correct, and they're rather vague, but hopefully not wrong

1. i typed them, i don't think it said to do it all in capitals anywhere
2. i just put the uk and ireland thing...i guess it's for places like the usa where the city could depend on state etc (but obv they wouldn't be filling in a british form i know)
3. i don't think i put anything
4. i guess so
5. i put "Walt Disney World (Epcot) Orlando FL" which michele said would be fine

 

Do we have to wait for our CRB before we can book the visa appointment? I only sent mine off like 2 weeks ago...

 

Cheers mate. I think that's the 1st form pretty much done.

On the second form which is for males only, i have these questions

1. On Q3, what do we write exactly for Full name? Same as we've already written but in the right order? I don't get it

2. On Q12, how specific do we need to be? I can't fit a whole address or know the supervisors name from my 1st job.

3. On Q17, I assume because i'm a drop out and didn't go on to collage or University, i just leave it blank because it says not to include 'elementary school' which is secondary?

 

Bloody hell. I can't wait for these forms to arrive, they look like a barrel of laughs...

 

Do we print that form and take it with us. Or do we have to send it to them??

 

Fill it in, print it off and take it with us. That's the impression i get

 

Yea thats right Lee, when you've filled it in it turns into like a printable version and thats the one you have to print and take with you, with all the other bits of course!!

I really don't know where to get the photo's done! I don't think there's a proper photo shop in town......

 

Try Boots. any place that develops photos should be able to do custom made ones like that.
