I know, I know :P ... My fiance wants to feel like "he has a part" in this whole process. So, he decided that he wants to fill out his forms, scan them, and email them in. :bonk: So, for the sake of arguing; WHATEVER. I guess we are actually going to sit down tomorrow and do them (him at the computer, and me on the phone telling him what to do) :yes:

LMBO!!! Cute! (F) Well...this is ONLY a guess....but the interview date comes about 4 weeks after you send the DS230. Weekends and US Holidays may impact the date as well. :D

Call the Department of State and see if they have your interview date.
