Discouraged

When I finally did get the e-mail, I was like "OMG someone actually looked at my application..." all that worrying....and who knows what I was doing when a person across the world was literally making my life decisions for me.

I haven't even thought about that yet. What a weird feeling... we're literally giving some of our most sensitive information and documents over to a completely random stranger to decide whether or not we change our whole life. WILD

I know

It's kind of uncomfortable lol

Every time I click on "attachments and other options" it just takes me to the top of the page. It's not working

Shame, I wanted you guys to see my kitty.

You’re not supposed to click on ‘Attachments and other options’. You scroll down past it, past the 4 tickboxes, to where it says ‘Attach’ and you click on ‘Choose File’... then you select the file you want to attach.

I do not have that option. I see the 4 tick boxes, and that's it. The only thing below the 4 tick boxes other than "post, preview and spell check" is

shortcuts: hit alt+s to submit/post or alt+p to preview

I've literally got no option to attach an image.

I am also not on a phone-I am using a laptop. I don't know if that's why, but my options do not match yours.

I didn't have that option either when i was trying to upload my refusal paperwork. I had to download the Taptalk app, then I was able to upload.

I actually don't even know how to use this forum on my phone. Is there an app for it? I wouldn't mind downloading it. Then I could do TapTalk too, and have the option to upload photos if need be. Obviously my cat isn't a necessary photo but it would be nice to have the option and as of now I don't at all.

I went onto the regular site, just on my phone - it’s the same as if I was using my laptop... the Attach button has been there for as long as I can remember (though I never use it as I find Tapatalk much easier - Tapatalk pastes the photo into the text box whereas using the attach button adds it as a separate file at the bottom which you have to click on to open).

However, I believe you may need to reach a certain number of posts before the Choose File button will appear. I seem to remember reading in the FAQ that the Attach option is only available to certain accounts.

You can either just go to the website URL on your phone browser or if you want to view the forum on an app, you’ll need to download the Tapatalk app and then log into the forum through there (I’m typing this message using the Tapatalk app right now).

That might be it. I don't even have 200 yet!

I'll have to download that! I find myself checking it all day while I'm at work anyway!

You can use tapatalk on your laptop. Just go to the website and sign in. 

So guys my visa is in the mail!! Sheffield should get it tomorrow. 

After I put it in the mail I got a HUGE stomach ache, thinking - did I do everything right, did I forget anything?! I was freaking out a little bit but my parents and husband kept saying you've/we've done everything we can and now we just have to wait. It's so scary and nerve racking. It's really hard for me not to worry about it. I completely understand how some of you ladies have been feeling about this process now. I know I need to stay positive and just trust that we did all that we could. No one really understands how I'm feeling right now, I guess no one does until you're in this situation. My husband is so calm and collected and says I'm worrying too much, I'm sure he's right. I sure hope he is! Hopefully I'll relax more and try to stay busy until we hear back. Fingers crossed we'll hear back in about 7-8 weeks with amazing news. I just needed to vent that!

Also, question! Did any of you get a interview phone call? how likely are we to get a phone call?

You worked hard on that application, you will be fine! 

It's almost unheard of for a US applicant to get a phone call, so pretty much zero chance.

Good luck and we are all here for you. 
I have heard stories that phone interviews are possible but from also what I heard phone interviews are mostly for just clarifying something. I personally have not received any phone calls and neither has my fiance.

If you are having trouble posting pictures here, try posting pictures of something OTHER than cat pictures.  I'm afraid the space for cat pictures is totally full.  Please post pictures of your local Mexican Restaurant with burritos.
