Maybe partially due to the big slowdowns at the service centers for NOA2's? I know I'm still waiting for mine.

I've made a few changes peeps... let me know what's missing.....

love ya!

No news yet for us K3's either (Toronto/NewYork and myself)... *sigh*...would love to have the interview done by end of year but it looks like they are going to hold to their 4 to 6 month timeline for us which means we may not hear anything until Jan/Feb *sigh again*

I see two couple have been waiting 70 days to get an appointment....not an interview, just the appointment.

Why why why why why why do they make you wait for the appointment?

Why do they not simply make one right away even if it will be 4 months so that one can plan their lives accordingly?

How long is the typical wait once you hear you have an appointment to to interview? a day or two??

sigh....

Yeah I have always wondered about that, it would seem to make sense to let people know when they will be interviewed, how hard can that be?

A. It would make people shut up about it (I'm talking about me here )

B. People could plan

C. Montreal would look good-ish

Which reminds me of the lame response I got to my letter, which I will now post. Just a note, I never 'objected' to anything, I just said I was 'surprised' that there was only 1 consulate in this vast country where interviews are held.

As you can see I had to edit out a few lines which refer to my Husband's file in particular.

Actually, it's harder than you think. All official US correspondence is now processed through the mainframe in a small town outside of Washington, I believe the place is called Menda City.

[rae_and_scott 1]

Okay, I'm sorry if this is a retarded VJ question, but what does that mean? bump? I have seen it said in a couple threads and don't get it.

When someone posts in a thread it brings the thread to the top of the forum.

So people just use the word "bump" to bring the thread to the top
