Petteri got an email from the embassy telling him his interview date! We haven't received package 4 yet but I know we will soon. But I think it's awesome the embassy emailed him, just so we can know about his interview date now. Makes me feel better we finally have a date. August 23 at 9:00 AM :D

Aww, I'm sorry. I know how that is. A few weeks ago my fiance and I were arguing over little things. But now we look back on that and see how stupid that was. I think it was just getting to us, all the waiting, since it took so long to be able to gather everything we needed for the interview.

I'm sorry your interview date is set in the end of September... I wonder why the date couldn't be any earlier.

I received my NOA2 already and the NVC told me it sent my petition to Cuidad Juarez Mexico, but how do I find out if it arrived to Cuidad Juarez? I have some numbers that charge for the call, but none of the options apply to find out if my petition arrived. Does anyone know how to find this out?

SO! I finally decided to give USCIS a call cause in about 3 weeks i will hit the 5 months. They gave me their talking points saying that it is still within processing time and that some cases may take longer than 5 months. She then told me that CSC is processing petitions filed on Feb 16th 2010 at the moment. Ugh! Tired of waiting. Wish they would just hurry up. lol

We're approved!

She had her interview in Oslo on the 4th and should be getting the visa paperwork within the next few days. There's a review in the Embassy Review section if anyone would like to read it.

Once the visa is in her hand, I'll book the flight and she should be here near the end of August! We're looking forward to being together again!

Thanks, its difficult seeing everyone going onto the next phase. We just tell each other "we have the rest of our lives to spend togetha!!!" which makes it a bit more tolerable. I just know i have 4 months behind me so Im about halfway there? =) Still exciting even if its not the ideal timeframe.

I am really sorry to see that you are still waiting for that NOA2. Rich and I got lucky and I don't understand why it's taking so long for others, I will keep my finger crossed for you guys and I hope you hear from them soon
