I've got nothing brilliant to add, but "fart arsing" around genuinely made me LOL. My fiance has his interview tomorrow morning so it's been tense around these parts. Thanks for the laugh.

I have been looking at people timelines and looks like most people get there interview date 7 days after the last thing is logged in to the system. Mine was last logged in on the 12th so hopefully tomorrow we will get our interview date cause embassy was closed on Monday. When your status changed on CEAC is that the same day interview date was set?

He had his medical on 13/01 and then it was logged 16/01. We woke up the morning of 23/01 to find it had updated again. That was his interview assigned.

We were at the embassy today too after waiting 3 hours (immigrant visas take a heck of a lot longer!) we were approved, yay! Leaving the UK in 29 days, I think my British husband is more excited than me!

I received my interview letter a day before I was going to ring NVC to see if an interview had been assigned (just fancied randomly checking). My CEAC status changed when they received the results but didn't change when the letter was sent out. For some reason it was updated on the 18th but I don't know what for.

Maybe keep trying with the phone line? Letters can be slow/never received. And if I hadn't received my letter I wouldn't have known if they had scheduled it as it wasn't updated until two days ago.

I'm sorry for your waiting. Hope to hear good news soon

Nope called today and still no date. Getting really fed up with this now. Been dragging on for nearly a year now and it's now started to affect our relationship. We have seen each other a total of 20 days in a little under a year! All that time we could of been spent together wasted by lazy bureaucrats. Rant over!

In fairness, it is a privilege to immigrate to the United States, not a god given right.

Although it is frustrating, it is something you have to do. Ranting about it wont really change anything. Your medical was done before the embassy even got your LND number right?

And you didn't send off your Form of Readiness, and DS-160 until the 7th. So six weeks is the guideline the embassy gives, and 4 weeks is the average time around here. You are barely 2 weeks after sending off your DS-160 and documents.

You seriously need to calm yourself. You are looking at another 4 weeks from the time you get your date. You are going to make yourself sick, if you are this wound up for that long...

We all miss our loved ones, but sometimes it is beneficial to take a step back, and look at the bigger picture. What is a couple of months in the grand scheme of things and (hopefully) years and years of being together.

Thank you for saying that Srvman. When I see somebody post "All that time we could of been spent together wasted by lazy bureaucrats, I just add them to my "do not help" list to remind me not to waste my time answering their questions.

Congratulations! My fiance was there from 0745 until 1145 today and left approved as well. I'm sure he was the most handsome bald Scottish fella in the place today.

I apologise for my outburst. Didn't mean to offend anyone. Was alittle stressed out and upset with the whole process and me and my fiancée had been going thro a bit of a bumpy patch relationship wise. That's sorted now. Found out on Friday via email that embassy could not find my medical. Spoke to doctors today and they said its most properly a mix up. Noticed our case status had updated again so called I NVC and they said the medical was logged in this morning.

Don't sweat it chum. No one said it was easy. If you can make it through this, you are already stronger than a large majority of the relationships out there.

[Derwood 203]

......and if you can't rant about immigration delays here, where can you rant about them! :-)

Got our interview date today by calling NVC. I asked for 11th April and that's exactly what we got! YAY!
