Lis, I know what u mean!! Come one already! But gotta say it's nice to know soon it will all be over! :dance:

Seren, I hope ur review for DS 230 starts also so we can be twin sisters waiting for case complete together.

GS AOS/DS230 packet: Seren climb up this desk and sit next to me, rep went to get coffee and will be back to review us soon! :lol:

Seren's Ds230: GS, throw me a rope so I can climb up the desk ;)

Lisa - She suspects im coming, I still think its going to be a surprise. I think I might tell her this weekend, that I'm actually coming, but im on the fence at the moment. I am definitely getting ansy, and wish that the two weeks go by quickly. As ansy as I am, the wife is even more anxious since she just wants the interview over with.

How are you doing with your hubby's interview prep? Did he get the list of questions?

Interview qs? Where did u guys get them?

Sounds good Que. I dont know if I'd tell or not if I was you heh

Ya, we are very prepared but pretty nervous too. It sure is a lot of pressure and anxiety built up around what will probably be a 10 minute interview.

You know you guys will get the full report afterwards lol

Where's Jenn today?

Que, I wish I could see my hubby for spring break as well :crying: Lucky u! Enjoy ur trip and definitely agree with Seren, try to keep it as bottled up as possible.

Congrats to MKG! YAYYYYY!!

Yeah I was wondering abt Jen too. Haven't seen her around lately...

Lisa, is the interview around the corner? I really hope you too soon are together again, it’s a long time ago.... The embassy had schedule me to 9 April, today I got a email they maybe need to re schedule it, if the paper not had arrive,, I had found out today at DHL webpage that my case had probably arrive,,, I feel I can’t wait more,,,

Ya, ours is on the 13th. 4 days after yours :D

You saw on dhl that it arrived? I hope its yours! You guys have waited so long too, and need to be done with this part and be together so you can begin your lives. :)

Keep us posted on the interview date, I'll say a prayer that they dont have to reschedule it.

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!

For those of you waiting for case completes. Someone posted in another thread, that a supervisor at NVC said they would schedule interviews not next week, but the week after, since this is not a full week of April. Those waiting for May interview dates still have a good shot at getting a case complete.
