What is the average time from Case complete to interview in London?

I don't know anything for certain for other countries. I can roughly guess the world average of 2 months. But I recommend you do your own research to get the best estimate possible.

Here's the tool I used to get estimates for Canada: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?cfl=0&op1=3&op2=d&op3=5&op4=1&op5=5,6,8,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,26,27,28,108,110,111,208,210,211&op6=All&op7=United%20Kingdom&dfile=No&adv= Click on each person's timeline and study the time from case complete to interview date. You may have to view their signatures. This is what I did and made a complete spreadsheet out of it. It was so much fun :)

Don't forget it depends on the alignment of the stars, and you must hop on your left foot, counter clockwise, while picking your nose with your right hand, a cup of water in the left and not spill any, and you must do this all on a Tuesday afternoon at 4pm. (I kid, of course)

We're getting ready to leave Montreal! I'm sleeping better at night, all the stress is gone!!Hubby said it perfect after it was all done "Now I feel like we really are married, we won't have to be apart ever again" When he said that, and thinking back on his answer at our interview the tears started again lol. (L)

Mr. Sheeshka's passport has not been shipped as of this morning, but that's ok, since we don't plan on leaving until July.

I remember you texted me what he said, and I was like awww. But, it's so true in this process. For most "regular" relationships, living together is part of married life, but not so with immigration cases (in most cases). So, what he said makes a lot of sense.

DS-230 form does not expire. What your looking at is the OMB Number which has nothing to do with the validity of the "Department of State Form" itself. You're good to use the most current one that is available at the DOS site.

Congrats on the interview date!!! :D Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance:

I'm not surprised. I'm getting pretty fed up with everyone asking if I'm excited.

A group of friends gave me a surprise gift basket last week, full of things that we do together. I was joking - wow guys you should move you get cool stuff but it was sad really.

I'd ask if you're excited but I'd rather not risk it :) That's really nice of your friends to do that...it's very bittersweet but makes for nice memories.

It's unfortunate that you aren't able to get that week off - but congrats on the interview date! Lots of well-wishes for a great outcome! :thumbs:
