congrats and good luck!

moving to the Embassy and Consulate Discussion forum...

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

What time is it?

The US Embassy requested that she arrive at 0900, although I don't think that is the actual appointment time. From what I have read in other posts, the wait time to be seen after arriving varies.
