To all those waiting for NOA2, my thoughts are with you. It'll come soon :thumbs: Please ignore below, I don't wish to seem petty :unsure:

Well I've taken the plunge and booked my medical for Sept 4th :) I'm just hoping that the US embassy gets the paperwork and process it in time. Last night NVC said they hadn't sent it out yet, but we know they wrapped it up on Friday. So hopefully they'll ship soon :whistle:

Was that the earliest appointment they could give you or did you ask for it around that date??

I think there might have been 1 before it, but otherwise the earliest I could get. It suits me because I have a couple of vaccinations before it to finish off the set :-)

They did say that from the 5th they had lots of slots.

Joy, are you still running the #s you were running? If so would you send me a new copy so I can see some movement.

Thanks, Ron

And here is the updated summary table:

Not seeing any new approvals for yesterday. Hoping it's another computer glitch and they will magically sprout later today.
