I think someone at the Embassy must have had the flu or something and came back to work on the 13th of August. It seems like A LOT of stuff was completed on that day...LOL.

I would bet Marlea and Asila are going to hear something before the weekend is out!!! :D

Congrats.

Do you think you will be buying the plane ticket before hand or after you for sure have the visa in hand? Our interview is on September 9th. I want to wait til we have the visa, but I know it will be much more expensive then =/. I was thinking of going ahead and buying them now for a date two weeks after the interview... the difference in cost is a few hundred dollars! Haha, I'm wanting to save money, but thinking "what if the visa doesn't get there in time..." (for some strange reason).

Well, he wasn't planning to come till mid October, so that will still give us a ~month travel time after the visa is approved to buy the ticket. If we have to push it back till late October to get a cheaper rate, then we will. We don't have wedding plans anymore to worry about. I just want him here before it gets too cold.

And Bunny - I'm not trying to restart the argument here, but what I took offense to the other day was that you guys were telling me I was obssessing when I wasn't. I was calling, getting my daily update, and then being done with it. It's not like I was on pins and needles, biting my nails down to the nubs if I didn't get the answer I wanted. I just wanted to know first-thing if something was happening. I felt like the comments I was getting were OTT for what was going on. I had just asked a question, but everyone jumped on the fact that I was calling daily (and I'm by far not the only one) when that had nothing to do with the question I had asked. It was unnecessary drama.

In the end, calling today got me the interview date, so I'm happy. :dance::D

My husband bought my ticket for six weeks after my interview date - six MONTHS later I'm still waiting for my visa!!

It wasn't the calling that got you your interview date, your interview would have been on the same date regardless. Your call just let you find out when it was.

People really call daily for an update on when their interview is going to be scheduled? Even those of us in AP don't do that!!

Yes, they do! :rolleyes:
