Aruba - You should be complete before the interview dates are scheduled, your payment issue is cleared, and now its a final review of your AOS and DS-230..no reason to sweat, and technically you still have 3 weeks :) (First week in april also makes the interview cutoff). have you by chance been told that your case is in review?

Serendipity - Hopefully they generate the DS-3032 soon.

Candid Witch - You should be hearing about your case later today or tomorrow.

In terms of NVC slowing down, I think it has slowed down due to the recent flood of approvals, as well as them trying to switch to this new email system. Hopefully these little gremlins will be worked out quickly.

May you have an angel's tongue Que.. :innocent:

I just wish my husband could do that surprise thingy like you do.. :P That's far from reality because I am his personal secretary. I do his flight bookings and scheds.. LOL.. :wacko:

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......

Don't worry you have plenty of time for your case to be completed so you can be scheduled for an interview in May.

You should teach your husband how to do the flight bookings :)
