Just a brief note; most of you probably already know this but..........
I went for my US immigrant visa interview last Wednesday and was refused on the grounds that I haven't enough money to support myself.
Actually I do, and I receive a substantial lump sum and a pension when I retire on Dec 20th. I took full documentation of this, but the official told me she needed to see the money in a bank account, nothing else would do.
Pretty naive on my part, so if I can save anyone some trouble by relating this, I'll be pleased
Incidentally, I have been married to a US citizen for 28 years and have been a Met Police Officer for 32 years.
When the 1st interviewer saw this on some of my documentation she told me I shouldn't get so much money, that police officers were overpaid, and that she had received a ticket for going through a red light and that proved all English police officers were arrogant and stupid. This is not relevant to my application's failure or success, and I didn't expect an easy interview, but I wasn't reckoning on a 5 minute tirade of abuse!
