Post embassy...RSG...visa forms....Jday??? ...PLS HELP!
Hi! Right so im really confused! and Iv read the posts on here are confusing me more! lol.

Im on RSG and my visa appoinment is 9am on friday 22nd may....is this a Jday or a normal day?

Iv been reading about camp america sending out visa forms etc but how long do these take to come? I was placed on RSG go last week....forms were printed 11th June. Theres both online and paper forms...right?

I read the powerpoint from camp america but it says it applies to Jday only!

Sorry if Im sounding completly stupid but im really confused!

Thanks in advance! x

argh i know! i only just got the email from CA, i got the one from the embassy earlier today, but now i dont know about the 2 weeks thing too, my start date was 30th may but CA changed it on my CAD 'due to embassy turnaround times' to the 6th june. so i'm thinking that should be fine? and then that'd be a-ok for you too?

also on the CA email it says ring them 'urgently' if you havent recieved your visa pack within 10 days of your appointment, well my appointment wasn't even booked within 10 days of my appointment! argh i am so confused!

the powerpoint is quite good tho - like i had LITERALLY no idea what to do before reading it, now i have a small inkling... but like i made a topic on here about some stuff on it i still dont understand, like what they say about your start date has to be within one month of your eligibility or something that i didn't even know what it was?!

- sorry that turned out to be a bit of an essay!
oh and also i'm really a katie rather than catherine! - i just don't think there is anyway to change it!

Sometimes they will just give you those forms at the embassy. The ones you get through the post are just 2 sheets anyway - all the rest are online, and it tells you how to find them in the powerpoint.

Just give them a quick e-mail to make sure you are getting the forms at the embassy.

Last year CA didn't get my DS2019 forms out in time for my visa appointment, they told me to go along anyway. I was really worried, expecting the embassy to turn me down cos I didn't have them but it was ok! The embassy said to just send the form to them when I got it and I got my visa through a few days after sending the DS2019 in. Don't worry!!

I think I got my e-mail from the embassy the same day my CAD changed to say the date. Didn't get my e-mail from CA for a few days.
