I was nervous too, ever since I got my date. I think I only got 2-3 hours of sleep last night! But it was all fine. I'll post a review for London too once I get a full report back from my fiance. The only question they asked that I hadn't heard before was if he was sure he wanted to marry me since we'd been together each other less than a year when we filed.

So glad to see all the good news from people over the last few weeks!

We dawdled a little bit on getting the packet 3 info back in but everything post-NOA2 has been super-quick to get a response from them. We have everything scheduled and our interview is set for December 10th. Home stretch!
