OK, I dont mean to create a scare here but if anyone from last year had any issue with the embassies closing and employee vacations during the Nov-Dec-New Years Holidays please fill me in. I hate to be a realist here but being a bunch of government workers with lots of vacation time, I am affraid there will be some slow downs later in the year such as delaying interviews. Someone please correct me if I am dillusional with this thought. Thanks

June 8 they revieved it

June 18 '07 check cashed got WAC#

No NOA1, touches, or progress given

NOA2 approved Oct 17

NOA2 card copy in mail Oct 20 (Surprise to us)

Package sent from USCIS to NVC Nov 7. (called USCIS to get this)

Nov 15, I got email at 6:57pm that our package was sent to Rio from NVC.

DON"T WAIT FOR THEM TO SEND ANYTHING, CALL AND MAKE SURE THEY GOT IT.

IF THEY DO, GO AHEAD AND SEND IN ds230,ds2001, the pics, and copy of passport

USE SEDEX AND GET THE TRACKING NUMBER.

Interview Set: Jan 29. Found this out on the embassy website under VISA's. It shows a list of visa types including K1 and shows the interview dates.

Visa granted but they mailed it using their own package delivery service. Took a week. Have money when you go to the appointment. They may also make you go and get more photos taken if they dont like the pics you bring. Just relax and dress wark because they keep the place really cold. Make sure your financials mmet the criteria or they will eat you alive.

MARRIED March 22. Sent in $1,010 in fees to Chicago to get change of status, apply for advanced parole, and ability to work documentation. Things work faster now.

May 22'08: Biometrics appointment in Santa Barbara.

Don't worry about that... US Embassy never will let everyone to take vacation during summer time.. I work in British Embassy here in Kazakhstan (but not in Visa section) and believe me they have some type of system to send people on leave .. believe me they know their job very well :)
