Hey everyone!

It's been a long time (something weird happened to my account here and I couldn't retrieve my password). But I come bearing good news: OUR CASE WAS COMPLETED AT NVC ON September, 30th!!!

Wohoo! Just one question: what happens now? Will the case be transferred to the consulate? I am very excited right now.

OK, so hubby will start bugging NVC about the interview date tomorrow. What should he be asking for? He needs the operator and then the case number, right? Anything else?

I hope it will move fast now. So that our plans work out to be together by February 2009. I just hope that our finances will be OK. I am really worried about finding a job and having to survive in a different country. Hubby's income is just not that great yet and I hope to find a decent job soon after coming to the States!

The reason why NVC took 6 months is that we had a lack of financial funding in May/June and had to wait to pay for the IV bill. Everything else was fast and smooth. It was entirely our fault that it took so long. Well, the RFE because of stupid question 20 was kind of useless but never mind. So no worries there- NVC is fast as long as you don't get stuck in security checks, I guess.
