Who's still waiting on an interview date?

[RUSSandRACHEL 3]

Hi everyone,

We are still waiting to hear of an interview date despite returning our checklist and forms from Packet 3 over a month ago. We are wondering if we have been delayed with the christmas period.

I just wanted to see a show of hands of people who are still waiting, and who sent off their forms between late November and mid December. I will make a list and keep track to see how long its currently taking for people to get issued with dates. Feel free to let me know if you'd like to be added...

Sorry that looks really crappy, but it wouldnt let me edit it. If anyone else can do a nice fancy colourful table or something, feel free...

This is completely off of your topic, but how did your sweetheart find the trip back from the U.K.? I was stuck on the tarmac inside of the plane for over 2 hours because of the additional security procedures - this was after getting to the airport 3 hours early - utter hell!!

[Claire and Troy 2]

We didn't get our date till Dec 7th along with several others. Claire called the extortion line before I woke up and they said no date set, then I called DOS just after noon my time and I was told we did have a date set.

Based on the trends over the past few months I'm guessing people will have good news this week or early next.

Hi Christi & Ian. Russ was ok. He flew from Birmingham and checked in online but arrived at the airport 2 and a half hours before. We were advised to arrive earlier but were reluctant to leave each other any earlier than we had to Turns out, every single person boarding, had their belongings completely emptied out of their bags and were searched at the gate. Security line though, was completely empty, he says. In the end they took off 30 mins late but more than made up for it on arrival. Where did you fly from?

I'm missing him like mad, but it was the last time saying goodbye, which is something good

Oh ok, Dec 7th is nearly a month ago. We've been told by fellow VJ-ers that they issue dates once per month, so maybe its coming soon. Russ did call DOS this morning. The lady told us absolutely nothing we didnt already know. She didnt even seem to know what he was talking about hmm... I refuse to call the extortion line. They've had enough of our money. Guess we'll just sit tight a little while longer... I just really wanna book my coach tickets and hotel room

When I was phoning them I always stated, "Good morning/afternoon, (name of person), my name is xxx, and I'm calling to inquire about the status of a K-1 petition that's been sent to London. I am hoping you can give me some information on it's progress." Initially they had no info, then after a few weeks it changed to "It looks like all of the paperwork is there and approved but there's no interview date set."

I hope everyone gets their dates soon
