I have been touched again today too. :thumbs:

Anyone else starting to think about setting a date.... :blush: I know some people have already done this but I have been holding out. I really want to start planning but I am unsure till the interview is all done, that being said when we could get hitched will fall right during high season and getting a date is going to be murder for getting a place quickly. X fingers would like June 17th 2010, I woke up one morning with that date in my head for some reason. :innocent:

Does anyone know how you will know when the NVC receives your case? Is it only when you call them and they inform you? Is it via snail mail? I called yesterday and got a human(who said the case wasn't there and should allow 2 weeks or more). I actually would have preferred an automated message. Anyone else get a human?

I think if wait until you know when your interview date is, you could probably set a date. What ever date you choose. Make sure it fits into that 3 month window you have to get married.

We are 'scheduled' for July 24. Fits with the FL weather, MI vacation time and also the UK school & university holidays. VSC are 'taunting' us right now though.

It's hard to take comfort in 'all will be OK' knowing that the I129Fs either side of ours have both been RFE'd and ours hasn't been touched since Nov 13. :crying:

1990(-ish): Family Holiday to FL. Met Nicole & family.

1990(-ish) - 1992(-ish): A few return visits

08-09/2007: Go back to FL. Meet with 'the folks' & Accept that we both 'like' each other & start dating.

02/2008 - Present: ...go back to FL again a few times.

09/2009: Propose and she says 'Yes'! :D

Oh god, oh god, we got a touch!!! I think my heart is going double speed.

EDIT: WAHOO!!!!! APPROVED!!!! Oh happy day with joyous glee!!! :dance::dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

As far as a date goes, BadWolfProphecy, I think we're planning for doing a small Justice of the Peace ceremony about 2 weeks after Ewan gets here. Auckland seems to be a pretty quick consulate, and we've gotten everything ready for the consulate steps, so I'm hoping we can avoid all the delays that might beset us there.

My mum is a teacher, so after the school year, end of May, we'll have a little reception. Then, after we're both finished with grad school (3 years or so) we'll have the proper ceremony, renewal of vows kind of thing, with friends and family and plenty of time to plan :).

Good luck!

My date is already set (with LOTS of flexibility in our venue contract!!) - but I have advised all of my guests that if they book flights before I give the OK, I won't be held responsible if we have to move it!!

I am going to tell them that they can start booking (at their own risk still ;)) once I've received Packet 3 from the Embassy. Much lower risk of anything going wrong by then...although obviously still a risk :) I have a LOT of Brits wanting to attend and a lot of them, like me, are still pretty cash-strapped from student days, so while I would love to make them wait til the visa is issued that could mean the flights get too expensive. So it's about finding the happy medium.

Does anyone know how you will know when the NVC receives your case? Is it only when you call them and they inform you? Is it via snail mail? I called yesterday and got a human(who said the case wasn't there and should allow 2 weeks or more). I actually would have preferred an automated message. Anyone else get a human?

I think you must be one of the only people who's tried to get an automated message and got a human rather than the other way round!! One of the pinned topics in the NVC forum explains the options to press. I'm going to give it a week before I call - technically they say 2 weeks but things seem to be going faster at the moment.
