I refresh mine and hubbys all day long too!

About the second week. I'm sure they have some sort of system that they just input the case # into it, and it sends the schedule to the Embassy. Maybe they have a few people doing that? Maybe they separate per region? Latin America is one person in charge, Europe another, bla bla bla....

I don't know... just guessing...

I'm also very :wacko: for not having the date yet. Oh come on, just send it to meeee!!!

:rofl: I too refresh mine & hubbys all day!

Guys!! Today's dragging on. Has anyone called today or are we all bombarding them tomorrow and Monday? What about weekend plans?

:( Guilty. Was told to wait till after the 19th.

I wish Mr. Sachinky could be here for the interview but given that earlier he didn't even remember WHEN our interview is scheduled for, it is probably best that I navigate this alone. (Plus, USC petitioners aren't allowed inside and I doubt he'd get time off.)

I yelled at him, "MAY 12, MAY 12, you can't remember such a simple and important date?"

He replied that in between remembering my birthday and our anniversary, some things were bound to slip his mind. :bonk:

Whattodo?

:unsure: Man :wacko:

I took days of work for the estimated time of his arrival... I should call NVC and let them know how serious my situation is :rofl: They wouldn't want me to waste my vacation time now would they :angry:

Yes, sir. That's the one.

Mr. Bears is a lucky gu having a nurse to take care of him year round:) You're right. You'll have no problem finding a job in these two fields. 10 years ago, engineers are in high demand. I don't think that's the case any more.

I would hope there's still a demand for engineers. That's hard! To me that's a guaranteed employment for life field. But then y friend's dad used to be an engineer. Now he drives trucks cross country. He seems happy, but I wonder how he feels about all that schooling.

Are 300 pictures enough or should I be printing more?

Huh?! Is 300 enough?! Honey, step away from the printer. You're fine.

I don't know if us wearing "I'm With Stupid ---->" t-shirts and smiling drunkenly into the camera is going to impress them or not. But yea, let's run with that for a moment.

You're wearing couple shirts. Other couples do sappy hearts. You guys are more hip than that. :P
