I just called DOS, my visa was approved today also.....but my daughter's has not yet been approved??!! I can't figure out why they'd approve me first without my daughter...has anyone heard of this before? I can't be happy until I know hers is approved...i'm not going anywhere without her after all!

congrats!! :dance: :dance: hope u hear about your daughter's real soon!

Oh Magpie, I'm so happy! I've been checking here first every day (more than once) hoping to see this!

I'm glad to see that it's not going to delay your travel either, since it looks like you still have classes/exams to complete?

Excited to see this happy ending! :)

Alright Marm, now it's your turn to finally get out of your nightmare situation.

@Gary - advice for the interview is to take a book or something to read, as the wait can be long. You can take a small rucksack, but nothing electronic, even car key fobs must remain outside the Embassy. Drop them off at gouldings for a fiver, I dropped them off there at exactly 0730 when it opened, then got in line. Then make sure you are in the line by the embassy entrance, as when I went on Tuesday, I got in the line and waited a half hour, only to realize it was a pre-check for a bunch of kids going on something called Camp America together and they were hogging the entire area so much, I couldn't see the start of the line to know it was wrong! Other than that, make sure you take everything you need, and good luck!
