yap we have to wait till second week of december

Sorry Guys... :( I know they are busy. When they put up both schedules for October and November at the same time that was a bad sign on how busy they are.

Hang in there guys... that's all the advice I can really give. :(

Yip my plane leaves 3 weeks from tomorrow :) ...And we are halfway through October today! I had decided to stop any evidence gathering (phone calls, finance sharing, chats,, emails, etc) October 15th and concentrate on getting everything (relationship evidence and I-864 and all the other paperwork they should already have) completed and printed and ready to go before the end of next week.. So other than the last couple of paystubs I should have the entire "take" pile sitting nice and pretty :)

Three more weekends.. wow so close.

I don't believe it.. Prove it to me and I still won't believe it. -Ford Prefect

It's just bad timing for your case closed. It looks to be that Mumbai was busier in the end months than before September. It will come my friend...1 day at a time.
