They seem to be handing out a lot of RFE's... :(

I think these RFE's are their fault. They've had these petitions for so long and may have lost some info.

* le sigh*

at least it shows they're working on them. Which is a good sign at the very least.

Best wishes to all of us still waiting.

I saw that on your signature earlier! Congratulations! It definitely gives me some home about a London interview, as I'm really hoping to have my fiance here by October. I'm wishing everyone lots of luck too! I honestly, truly believe that they're going to try to get a lot done before the 6 month point.

We sent them all the info they needed last monday and wanted to follow up today but they were faster...

Yeah that's why i say good news with no smiley face :/ Sometimes i feel they just have emails they send out to everybody to let them be or so...

We will see though...

This is very encouraging. I hope they don't slow down in handing those out before they get to my fiance's. When is your interview Photomile? If you don't want to give the full date will you tell us the month? I'm curious to know how far out they actually schedule those. The rumor is 3 months but I want to know exactly. Thanks!
