We got our interview date on Friday, I'm waiting to update my timeline though because it conflicts with an appt and if we can't get the other appt moved, we ill have to move the embassy appt :( its currently sched'd for 10/3 and we will plan on him entering the US around the 1st of November!!!!! :)

Tex, I can't believe you and other jan filers are STILL waiting for NOA2! I check in every now and then to see what's going on. I thought I would see a ton of congrats for you! Tomorrow is labor day so hopefully by the end of this week you guys will hear something!

Sabi, I'm sorry to hear about your knee! Hope you get well soon!

Kitty, you be careful with hurricane Isaac in Louisiana! Those things can be scary! Hope all is well with you and yours!

Congrats jay and Jamie and neetz!

That's all for now...

Will be watching and keeping tabs on you all. Good luck with interviews and noa2s and AOS!

Congrats on your approval kelso!

We have to change the interview date :( my fiancé called the London embassy help line and was advised to send them an email. He sent the email today requesting a new appt date. Hopefully it will not be changed to a November date. I'm hoping it can be changed to a sept date or still be in October around the 3rd. We will see. I hope they email him back by the end of this week so we will know.

My boxes just got picked up by UPS and I'm now sat tidying a few things up.

Also, I had to do the single most horrible thing ever last night... I.... don't know how to say this but... I had to change my computer language to..... American English..... *shudder*.... and the date settings....

Flight tomorrow

Good luck to everyone who has interviews or is going to POE this week!
