It's probably a bit premature to segregate my counter by hours. But without it I had 7 days left. With it only 6 days and some spare hours. Getting a bit on the nervous side. I haven't seen my wife for 9 months now and I'm going to be seeing her soon. Anxious much. A person changes vastly over a year. Nine months is almost a year. Unlike most people with long-distance marriage, I didn't talk to my wife everyday. We basically texted each other a few times a week on most weeks. I can just imagine the awkwardness... FML.

Yes, Loto :) I am soooo excited! We haven't seen each other since 6/5/10...this is the longest stretch of time we've been apart and it's been very stressful! But, God willing, this will be the last such separation. I am just hoping and praying for approvals for all of us here on VJ. We've all paid our dues (literally and figuratively) and deserve to be re-united with our loved ones.

Yes I know, Deb. All my prayers and wishes are with you and rest everybody for this such wonderful re-union :thumbs:

Watching all the good news here!

I am trying to track my package, but it is not working out. As I understand, the DHL date that should be entered would be the business day before the interview is assigned. So if my interview was assigned today, my package should have been mailed out on Thursday. Therefore I should be using this EXP 30 DEC 2010A. But I am not finding a "Jerusalem, Israel".

Am I doing it wrong?

Don't worry, IS. Expect that it probably WILL seem awkward for a little while. Even for those of us that talk to our spouses every day. Expect an adjustment period. That's completely natural. Talking and actually living together are two very different kinds of relating. Just take things as they come and be patient with one another. It will seem more natural as time passes (F)

Technically you are right about the date you should put in to track the DHL package. But since we didn't find the interview date on Thursday, I don't believe that our files were forwarded to our consulate on Thursday. Rather I think it has been forwarded today ie. 01/03/11.
