I got my Packet 4 on August 1, 2011. I have been at refreshing for over a month now and nothing at all :(

I'll post here as well if I see anything open up for the rest of you guys. At least it's nice to know we're all supporting each other :)

I wonder if it is true about them not opening up anything till November, because that is depressing. I wish they would tell us so we wouldn't sit around wasting our time refreshing all the time!!!

November is so far away :crying:

I just booked an appointment for Oct. 18th! I can't believe it! I really thought they would be months away! That means this whole process for me (if interview goes well) is under 5 months!!

There are quite a few more days available everybody, so jump online!

It's just really frustrating, it's been 6 weeks since we've been trying. I just wish it wasn't such a random and indefinite system.

I understand completely. We started about the same time and your right, the system is very frustrating in it's design. This has by far been the most frustrating and emotionally wearing part of the process for us so far. Randy and I talked about that a few minutes ago and how hard it was getting to stay up and positive. We really feel for those who missed getting in on the openings today because of work or appointments. There should be a more humane way to handle the scheduling that would be less stressful and time consuming for the applicants.

Hang in there, when you least expect it your refresh will pop up a date for you! :yes:

Thank you! :) It is really tough, but, this is the LAST step so hopefully we'll get in soon and then I hope it will get easier from there on.

Best of luck to you on your interview!!
