Lisa, I must be a cheapy like my husband :) because I only talk for more than 20 minutes if our schedules whack out and we don't talk online for more than 2 days. But I spend 50$ at a time to avoid the transaction fee and am lucky if it lasts me 3 weeks.

Good luck Amanda, if it isn't an April interview it should at least be in the first week of May. I was wondering if they only schedule CR1's on wednesdays, because it says on the website that that's the day for IV inquiries. And AralB's interview was on a Wednesday too..?

Jackie, I was just wondering on how they told your DH he is on AP. Did they say at the interview he's approved but going on AP?

My mom is asking if she can start making plans for a reception ... hehe, I mentioned a barbecue, and Amer said ohhh Shish kabab? I wish, I don't know how to make that super yummy kofta. I am already missing the shwarma and kofta and tahina.... sigh.

He and I were just saying how long the days are dragging, I thought it had been a month since we saw each other, and he figured it out as two weeks. It's almost like I was used to it until I visited him again, because time had seemed to be flying by so quickly.... sniff.

At the interview they told him 'you are approved but must wait for additional Administrative Processing' then they gave him the paper that said approx 4 months.

His interview was Dec 1. I had all kinds of plans for the holidays. That didn't happen, celebrated New Year's eve alone. Then came and went, my birthday. Then Valentines Day, then our first anniversary. I am used to being alone now. Me and mah kitteh.

Hope ya'll have a great Tuesday.

well, i hope it is really is 4 months Jackie. (F)

20 days 'till our interview. If they even utter the word AP.....

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Well good, so what's your plan when he gets the visa finally after four months?

Also, just as an aside.... how could they possibly know that what they were doing would take four months? The website says AP usually takes 3 months. And I've read other places where the average was 2 months... just so random and odd. Anyway, now that you are almost a saint, you'll go straight to heaven :)

Good Morning Ladies! I have a quick question....is there an "expiration date" for the medical exam? I mean, does the medical exam have to be completed within a certain time frame before the interview? I hope that is clear. Here is the deal. We have sent in all our paperwork to NVC and are just now waiting for case complete & the interview date. Our attorney in Amman told my husband to go ahead and go to Amman to his office & get the paperwork for the med exam and go ahead and get it done. I'm wondering if he goes ahead and does the medical exam now, if his interview date isn't until late April or even May, will he have to get the medical exam done again? Advice please!!
