There is plenty of time in the future to plan vacations like this. Get her to the US and acclimated to her new surroundings. :)

No interview date yet for us as of this morning. I was almost glad that next week is the famous second week of the month but then I found out from NVC that they are closed on Monday in observance of Columbus Day

There is no wining. I have harassed NVC so much that I am getting tired of it. I just give up. They can send the interview date whenever they feel like it. I am booking a ticket to spend thanksgiving with my sweetie.

I aam teling u people Nvc sucks they need to grow up

Hang in there.

They are only doing what they are told to do. You will get notice of your interview once the consulate/embassy gives them the dates that are open for appointments.

If you haven't learned patience up to now...your going to need it more from now until the day of the interview as this is the worse waiting time in my opinion.
