NEWSFLASH!!!!!!!

Pete finally got an interview for Jan. 9th but we wanted to try for something before CHRISTMAS. We called and got a code number and I emailed and within 24 hours I got an email back with his new interview date of DECEMBER 9!!!!!

I didn't even know you could get your interview date moved up until I read it on here. We're going to be practicing the questions and he's going to be getting all the documents in order -- F-A-S-T. Thanks for all the help along the way, it's been since mid-February when we filed and said good bye. This is exciting and scary at the same time.

[Laura+Tom 2]

Yay, that's great.

Good luck lsma for tomorrow!!

We got our interview date through today, myself and my daughter have an interview on 14th January 9am. Could you please add us to the list.

Now the panicking begins!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY for all of you and good luck.

We've spent tonight on the phone rehearsing the questions and making sure he has all the documents. This is nervewracking but ours will soon be over. Whatever happens, I'll come back here and post about it -- anyone still waiting can use all the information they can get.

To think that I had to call my congressman's office and THEY were the ones who first told me the interview date.

Then I emailed the embassy and got it moved up to Dec. 9th--instead of taking 8 days to answer like they did before, they answered in TWO days. Furthermore they said that his interview would now be on Dec. 9th instead of January.

In addition to THAT, it only took TWO days for him to receive the interview letter from them. It didn't even get lost in the mail like everything else has.

(I can't believe that I returned the embassy email and said I LOVED THEM!) (or is it my congressman's office that I should be loving??)

And that's a yes to a visa for us! Will write review later when I come down off this big high!

Lorri, as soon as you get your date I'll add you to the list, hopefully you won't be waiting too long. The still waiting list above is for those stuck in some kind of AP or approval is pending for some other reason. Unfortunately it looks like Sad Eyes has been there a while.

Duh, interview thread!

Sorry - am looking for the magic potion/gri-gri/mojo or whatever!

Thanks Laura!

[Stinky Monkey 1]

And that's a yes to a visa for us! Will write review later when I come down off this big high!

Lynne

Congratulations so happy for you both

Lorri, I hope they speed things up for you. I know how upsetting and frustrating it is. Can't they just do this ONE thing for you so you can get the interview scheduled??!!!!

There's a lucky star for you.

My Pete is heading to London TOMORROW night (my stomach is knotting up, sinking feeling too). He's going by overnight bus from the North, getting off the bus and going by tube to the embassy for 8:30. He should be called at 9 and he just HAS to get approved. Assuming he does get approved, he's going to wait around and get the visa that same day.

He's going to call me tomorrow night just before he gets on that bus for London. and (since he's too cheap--which is a good thing) he's not going to take his cell/mobile phone with him I don't know how he's going to call me to tell me the results. Oh, he's meeting an old friend in London -- the friend will probably let him use his phone to call me. I'm rambling on like this because I'm nervous.

Thank you for adding us to the December list.

Just to let you know the visa won't be issued the same day. It will be delivered by courier to his home/work address and can take up to a week to arrive.
