V., even though I hang out mostly on the CDC (Calif. Disservice Ctr.) pages, I've been following your unspeakable travails and commiserating along with you. Congrats, man. On the basis of my experience, you should find that the processes will go FAR more smoothly from now on. Also per my experience, your bitterness toward the VDC will hang on (and not unrightfully); try to do whatever you can to abate it. Sincere congratulations, and keep the faith.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).
