10/06/08 we are processing 01/04/08

20/06/08 we are processing 01/04/08 DAMNIT :ranting: its soooo long :ranting: im losing it :ranting: ten days they must be super busy or understaffed

Heres to another week patiently waiting :clock:

Oh dear....that is the worst part I think when it looks like nothing is happening. I can remember several times when it just sat there and the date never changed....or after two weeks it moved 4 days. I was going beserk. BUT...one day it completely jumped forward and suddenly they were a week past our date. Then things just moved so fast. Glyn and I cannot honestly believe that we are leaving on Wednesday. We both keep saying..."are we really leaving on THIS WEDNESDAY???".

Hang in there....its hard...but it will happen.

Red Baron, I was just looking at your timeline in your signature. I did the EXACT same thing with Glyn's application for his police certificate. I totally got so excited sending it out, I forgot the bills and the copy of the passport. I got an email from them and ending up scanning it all in that day by email. I kicked myself so hard that day.

We are doing DCF through London as well. We received an RFE for our I-130 at the end of May, sent back our affadavits June 16; Received NOA2 on June 3 and our Packet 3 today. We hope to have both the DS-230 and the checklist mailed out Saturday, how long do you think it will be before our Packet 4 with intervew date arrives?

And does anyone know how far out they are scheduling the interviews right now?

Hi Andrea!! Have you been lurking all this time?? I can't really answer your question, but for me (back in april) it was only about 2 weeks between returning packet 3 and getting packet 4. I can't say for certain, because mine was in my neighbours mailbox for at least a week before I found it (only a week before my interview).

Well anyway, your on the home stretch, and good luck with the final bit! xx

I was looking at the timelines and it looks like anywhere up to three weeks for the next packet. That being said i know someone who got theirs the following week so who knows.

Excited yet Poíteen?

Whoooo hooooo!! That was a nice surprise.

Finished work now, so on the home strait. I've been saying goodbye to people, but I don't know if it's really hit me yet. I am getting occasional butterflies though. I honestly don't know how the K-1 people do it. I'm so glad that we are going through this whole moving business together.

Yeah im actually getting excited and nervous all at once work is quiet so we spend alot of the time trying to look busy which isnt good so i spend alot of time thinking about the process. Had a slight hiccup in that i hadnt prepared well enough for the checklist i thought i had the right birth certificate and it turns out i dont. Mum and Dad were never given the long ones nor did they ask for them. So i ordered one priority then i have to get them certified and i can send it off. :)

Im wondering wether to book my medical before i get my appointment. What do yous think?

YIPPEE

Almost over.

Had the medical done on monday which was pretty quick and easy. Getting there in the heat around London was the worst part.

Interview on the 14th August.... and then we are DONE!!!

I am so excited that we are so close to being finished. Never thought it would actually go so smooth.

Good luck to those that wait still...

I think the last part is so much better, yes you worry, but at least theres stuff you can do to prepare and keep yourself busy with. The first part is just waiting and trying not to think about it too much. Cos if you do you go crazy.

Congrats to Klemmers, not long now... :star:
