Sometimes I think I should have married a Mexican. That consulate has their ###### together. The San Salvador consulate causes suffering to everyone who goes through it. I guess NVC/USCIS hates Salvadorans :(

Hey, I saw that the other ES guy got scheduled...does that mean they finally have the ball rolling? Hopefully they received enough angry phone calls to start blowing the dust off their interview schedules.

He did, but I am exactly one month behind him for case complete. I'm not expecting a January interview though. I think I learned my lesson on 26 Sept when I joined the November interview thread.

This link was mentioned on the November NVC thread, others may have been aware of it already but I wasn't so I thought I'd share for any other clueless counterparts. :blush:

It shows updated shipping info and includes many that didn't come up in my search. One for Juarez, hope that means us!

It's really hit-and-miss. I have been playing around with the numbers this morning and just managed to confuse myself more, lol. Thank goodness this link was posted in the other thread, I'll now defer to more experienced members for the info. :yes:

Hehehehe, to me it's just plain frustrating when my search shows ZERO packages while somebody found 20 of them :lol:

So, like you, I'll just wait for somebody who has more luck or knowledge, and if I see a package heading to Poland I will call NVC to confirm if it's mine.

Ahhhhhh, stress and loneliness are almost over :dancing:
