Yes Saylin.... she just called a little while ago. APPROVED!!! She asked about picking up the visa tomorrow but, the Consulate said to wait for approximately 2 weeks to receive it in the mail :( Kind of a bummer because our 1 year wedding anniversary is next week.... but hey, we've waited this long... what's two more weeks, right?

Yes, you usually receive packet 4 shortly after the interview date is scheduled. If you haven't received yours yet, I would definitely call up NVC and ask about that as you need the interview letter to get into the consulate/embassy.

Friends,

Mom passed the interview. Would not have done without you. Thank you for letting me stay with your group during our TSC Blackhole journey eventhough I was petitioning for parent.

Aww that sucks you can't work with your wife :(

Life's good. Waiting for the dang SSN. As soon as I get it, I have so much to do: apply for a credit card (so I can finally buy a computer), apply for school, get a driver's license (even though I don't have a car, but whatever, still good to have), and try to get a job somewhere.

I hear ya...the school thing is a total pain in the #### and a LOT of money because you would be considered a non-resident, so you will have to pay more than a resident of course. It sucks, but that is the way it is unfortunately. You should get your SSN soon for sure! Best of luck with all!
