Does anyone know how long it takes after the embassy receives your DS-230 to schedule an interview? And second if you have emailed/mailed the copy lets say about 2 to 3 weeks ago, and the embassy schedules a date for you to come to the embassy to pick up the packet, do you think there is a possibility of getting packets 3 and 4 on the same date?

have you called the 202 number? You might already have an interview date because after they receive the DS-230 it really doesn't take them long to set a date. You should call.

mstee it is 202-663-1225 press 1 and then 0

I did, those bastids only could tell me that he has a date scheduled on 9/8 to pick up the packet but no one seems to know which friggin packet!!!!

That is crazy...well thank God 9/8 is Tuesday and the mistery will be over.

Exactly, thats why Im going mad! They said packet 3 was mailed on the 11th of Aug. We never got it.

I believe that once the 202# says the embassy has logged in the receipt of your DS-230, they will normally schedule the interview a week or two after that. Once you confirm that they received it and they have logged it in, I would start e-mailing the Kingston e-mail asking if they have scheduled the interview.

I wouldn't worry about packet 3 because the only thing you need out of that is the DS-230 which you already have. I never got packet 3. Packet 4 is the interview letter and medical information and I've only heard of people picking that up when the embassy has mailed it and the person never gets it.

I hope I said this right... lol

Well, sheesh I hope that he's not going to pick-up packet 3.

Me either. Im hoping that its the interview date... So please pray for us you guys. I know more info before the folks at the 202 number does. They JUST found out he is going to the embassy on 9/8. We have known since the middle of August!!!!

That e-mail for the ebmassy is: kingstonivinfo@state.gov You may have heard already because I've been away for a bit, but in the subject line of all your e-mails to them put 2nd Request. Seems like they only answer to that. lol

Did that too. No response twice! Thank you. Just gonna wait until the 8th.

2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

i find this ALOT when you're having discussions with ppl, they don't really care about what u're saying

they just want to be heard

can be rather annoying

5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

haha i do that for the very same reason

13. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

this is why i hate washing sheets, it's very annoying to fold the fitted piece

it never folds perfectly

14. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

me toooooooooooooooooooo!!

i HATE making multiple trips

16.The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

i had to break myself out of this habit

19. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

esp when its followed by a period of saying nothing

very awkward

20. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

that's why so many ppl are obese

23. Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

haha

[JAPrincess 27]

This one mek mi BOAL!

15. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

This is so me:

39.Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....

this too:

44."Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

[JAPrincess 27]

alright mi gawn to lunch!!

[dillon 6]

JAPrincess you have any food cravings?

[JAPrincess 27]

JAPrincess you have any food cravings?

Not so bad dillon...

In fact I am still sitting here trying to figure out what I want to eat

Finesse, I dont think you are being cruel. Obviously, his life is not ruined. Other kids are taking the bus. He MUST understand that $20 a week is alot of money to be wasting. Maybe when he asks you for something let him know it either the city bus - or something else he may want or need. Like no new sneakers or something else he HAS to have...

I say why do we have to reason with these kids?? We said no so the answer is no. See that is our problem we are trying to be there friends instead of there PARENTS!! Now Finesse told de pickney to get on the bus so he is to get his rass on the damn bus end of discussion! She shouldn’t have to go back and forth with him. Did our parents go back and forth with us?? Hell no. When they said no they meant it and we dealt with it end of story. I tell you and this includes me to we are to lenient with these damn trolls. That‘s our problem and this is why they don’t respect us and say mean things to us. When he said I hate you he should have been picking his teeth off the floor. How dare you say that to your mom…

O.k. rant over….

Dada I totally agree and this is the issue I have with my parents cause they want to jump in the middle of my issues with my kids when I feel its clear cut like you say! No back and forth , they didn't go back and forth with me so why is it a different scenario with my kids. If I were to ever even think of saying the ####### that comes out of their mouths to my parents I would have been knocked into next week! But now it's different for my boys, according to them. I think not!!!!! OMG it's all so frustrating I want to pull my hair out ( but it costs too much LOL) They have to be held accountable for their actions just like we were and I will not tolerate the disrespect..... ok my rant over too needed to vent

Girl I AGREE With you on that . My parents are always trying to get in the middle too. Now my kids have been home all summer and they barely do any chores. Each time I come in the house my home looks like World War III has ran through it and I’m tried. My son who is 12 only has to do the dishes for which we have a dish washer. I tell him all the time he has it so good cuz when I was growing up I was the dishwasher. Shyt at his age I was darn near cleaning the whole house.

So I wake up one morning and he didn’t do the dishes so I asked him why the dishes weren’t done and he told me oh its Wednesday I don’t do dishes on Wednesday?? I was floored since when did he get the authority to come behind me and change the rules. So I didn’t go off I knew that night he wanted to go out with the rest of the nutzos and purchase that Madden 2010 game at Midnight. I waited until night time and he is getting dressed and talking to his friends ready to go get the game so he comes to me and ask me for the money I politely look at him and tell him Oh it’s Thursday I don’t give out money on Thursdays. He hit the floor like what but mom. So he goes and tries to call my dad he gets on the phone with me telling me that was unfair. Umm hello is the is same man who raised me? Who woke me out of my sleep when I didn’t do the dishes who got mad at me one day for not taking out the garbage and when I came home form school it was in my bed. Umm excuse me. I had to tell me dad sorry this is my son and he will respect me. My dad tried to tell me I should run my punishment by him first before I give it to my son. Umm yeah o.k. dad sure.

my daughter does dishes and we have no dishwasher she hates it
