I did not know this either until I went to Walmart and at the doorway where they have the security detector things, they had an advertisement for strait talk on there and it was advertising the regular unlimited plan AND the international plan! :) hope it is an option for you if you need it! :)

Interesting...well this is not a good place for smart phones--instant target for robbery, as well as super slow internet on any cell phone, so that's out.....well, I have been living here for over 2 years now and it just seems silly to move back to the US when we should have gotten our NOA2 last week---so close but yet so far...haha. Anyway, interview "should" be in the next few months and I can't afford to buy a ticket to the US, move wherever there for a few months, buy another ticket back for the interview, then another ticket back to the US......so that's why I have stayed......i guess if this ends up taking way longer than we have been planning, I might have to go back to the US but the job that I have right now is flexible enough that I could easily get the time off for the interview whereas if I went back and got a better paying job, it would not be as easy...too many complications, so I will stop! Hahaha. Anyway, I will keep strait talk in mind...I didn't know they offered international plans! Thanks for the idea!

Who all has to go through the London Embassy and has a petition at VSC????? Whichever of us gets NOA2 first, the rest should watch and see how it goes at NVC. If its me, I will come back and keep you all informed. We shouldn't abandon this thread and if there's another thread for the next step, direct each other to it? Thanks! :)

That is, embassy specific threads for the next step?
