I'm so nervous.... my wife has been at her interview appointment for 3 1/2 hours now, still no reply's (via text) from her! They took her phone as she entered the embassy so no contact, this is killing me! From what I read in the reviews of the Seoul Embassy if we did not have all the right things or something was wrong it would have been fast, so a long time is good!
