A called the consulate this morning (it's been two weeks exactly since his medical exam) and they told him that his interview has been scheduled for September 6!! YAYY!

Now we have to decide if we're going to take the risk of booking everything now for our selected wedding date (November 18) or if we should wait until after he officially "passes." He's coming from England and I think the odds are really really good that he'll pass but... I'm still nervous about booking everything! We're going to discuss it later today.

In his cover letter for Packet 3, he requested an early interview date so he could be in America by the end of September for my son's birthday. I don't know if that helped speed the process, but we definitely got lucky!

Our Timeline:

April 2003: We "met" online through a mutual friend.

March/April 2004: He visited me in California and we hit it off, but didn't want to do a long-distance relationship.

July 7, 2009: We got back in touch with each other.

April 15, 2010: My previous relationship ended and we decided that he would come visit me again and see where things went.

May 25 2010: We saw each other again for the first time in six years!

June 23, 2010: We decided to try a relationship.

November 8, 2010: We got engaged!

January 3, 2011: I began to assemble the I-129F packet

March 14, 2011: Mailed out the I-129F packet

March 16, 2011: NOA-1

May 31, 2011: NOA-2

June 13, 2011: NVC received our approved I-129F

June 15, 2011: NVC approved the I-129F and sent it to London

July 1, 2011: He mailed the completed Packet 3 in

July 15: His medical exam

July 29: We called the consulate and got his interview date

September 6: His interview - approved!

September 25: He entered the U.S. with his visa

November 18: WE GOT MARRIED!

Thanks, guys! I have two coworkers who both brought their spouses over with family visas some years ago and both of them just filed for divorce in the last month. They've been so discouraging, telling me it wasn't going to work out because theirs didn't, etc. I needed to hear some encouragement!

Congrats and it's gonna work!! Next time they tell you negative stuff spin it on them like this, just say "I understand that you are just looking out for my best interest and that you are speaking from experience and I appreciate all and any advice you can give me to help me prevent that from happening to me but right now I am just as exited as you probably were when you first were ready to marry and I would love for you to be excited for me and with me about that. Everyone is different, every relationship is different and I'm not saying I'm going to be married forever or that I am going to divorce in a week but I certainly don't want to dive into my future with a negative attitude."

Then every time they say anything about gloom and doom just say thanks and let it roll off your back!! :thumbs:
