Yes indeed I agree but that is always a personal choice in my opinion. Some decide to give back to others in exchange of all the knowledge they acquire. Others get what they need and get out. Nothing wrong with that the way I see it

I can't say I blame the people who, after months and months of stress and agony, just want to leave all this behind them. But of course we're all very lucky that some stay behind to offer their advice!

Yes a little thank you is always nice...

But regarding the experince i think most people write a review of their experience on their timeline thingy, we are all from so many different countries and at the embassy we will be met in different ways. Things are done so differently all over so even though it's nice to read how people have done and what happend I belive the best way to prepare one self for the interview is to read on timelines and reviews from your own country.

Noa 1 August 15th 2011
Noa 2 March 2nd

My sons AOS and IV bill paid March 23rd (status in progress)

I think most people do but once the interview is over there is a lot to do to get ready for POE and once you are reunited with your spouse, spending hours on VisaJourney isn't exactly at the top of your list of priorities. I am very thankful to everyone on here for their support but as soon as my husband wakes up the computer is going off!
