I do feel every so often I am forgetting something for the interview though......

He has complete copies of all of the submitted documents.....Color coded for me(pink), him(blue), Albania, London and NVC.

The RFE documents!!!!!!!

New passport pictures for medical and interview.

Vaccination card for medical

Relationship pictures, skype chat logs, emails, flight stubs, credit card receipts, skype bills.

Will be getting first medical thursday and second next thursday......

not sure what else :bonk: :bonk:

I would love to go, but tickets are $1500+ right now, which I can't justify in my head. Albania seems to be a fairly friendly Embassy, he'll be fine, he's smart and like all of the other husbands, cool as a fricken cucumber. :wacko: :wacko:

Your evidence looks great, best of luck to you!

Just noticed this visa alert on mumbai embassy website. check it out:

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/media/pdf-home/visa_alert.pdf

It says (not sure when it was posted):

"Visa Alert: Technical Difficulties -

**Please be advised**: Due to technical problems with our internet

connectivity, the US Consulate Mumbai has been unable to print visas at normal

speed. This has caused delays in visa printing and affects all applicants in all

visa categories. We are responding to the problem as quickly as possible, and

will print visas and deliver passports as soon as we can. We sincerely apologize

to our visa applicants for any inconvenience or delayed travel. "

OH no!!! Hope they fix it by the time Sach has to interview & then me following in 2wks.

Well... sometimes I freak out a lot!! I mean A LOT!!!! And then I try to breathe and breathe!! hahaha

But seriously, I think if I think too much about the interview I can feel the sweat coming down to my head and my hands cold! haha

I really hope the CO really likes my husband and want to chat ONLY with him, I won't even bother to be ignored! lol

I confess that when I see my ticker going down and the days coming I have butterflies in my stomach, then I try to think positive saying that I AM in control of the situation... I can't let it go into my brain too much! lol

Like Yohino said... deep down I know we all gonna be fine. I just have to keep my mouth shut! When I get nervous I talk like a monkey! The CO will ask me to leave the room! ahaahhahaha

Anyway, all I can say is that I'm fine now and only God knows how its gonna be like next week! :rofl:

This situation is ridiculous....pretty much any legal reaction is acceptable! :huh::lol::yes::wow::bonk::rofl::help::hehe::dance::blink::wacko::angry::blush::devil::unsure:

Hi all,

I'm stressing as my hubby's medical was done before we had case complete.

Medical - 17th March 10

Case complete - 26th March 10

interview scheduled - 11th April 10

Worried that the embassy might not be able to find the medical as it was sent before they received all the docs from the NVC.

Please let me know if you think i'm stressing over nothing and if lots of others have had a medical before receiving CC!

Good luck everyone :)

I just sent Merlaine 1 screen cap for each week, so 4 a month..not too bad. Well if you asked her you'd probably get a different opinion :rofl:. 95 lbs of girl with 92 lbs of papers. We type very little there so screen cap's of our conversations was about the only thing I could do. I got a calendar and clock widget for the desktop so they show too.

Thanks rhowin :) Can't believe sometimes that we're all just about done with this #######!
