Quick update: our file left NVC 28th, but hasn't been received in london just yet (if i did the DHL tracking thing right it's in Boston right now). More excitingly - unbeknownst to us both, photomile scheduled his medical for 20 minutes before mine next weds, so we'll get to hang out! How crazy is that!

In other news, it's is grey, wet and cold in London.. on July 2nd. I cannot wait to live on the Gulf Coast...

I called NVC this morning to check on our petition. Nothing yet. I thanked the woman and wished her a Happy Fourth. It must have caught her off-guard because she stumbled a bit and seemed surprised that someone was pleasant. :lol:

Just called as well and nothing...woman told me it's STILL too close.....even tho it's more than their "15 business days" now....ahhhhhh.....this is a nightmare. We went to FINALLY get his passport today ---that is a whole other nightmare story---and what happens?! We pay to get it TODAY and the machine where they make them breaks......so I get to spend another whole day and a lot more money to travel all the way back to the dang place with the hopes that it is actually ready by then.....plus, my local branch of my bank randomly closed last week w/o notifying anyone so I am stuck w/o access to my money. Seriously. What next?! I guess I get to focus on getting the "long form" birth certificate that they require here and finding a place where they can do a titer test since he has no vaccination records to speak of...I am so finished with this country!!!!

January 3, 2012 Mailed I-129F
