AGGGHHHHHHHHHHH I got an interview date, this has got to be a record in processing time. I filed January 30, just March 7. DS 230 dropped off, And my interview is APRIL 13TH Less than 3 months after filing, this seems like a record.

CONGRATS and I'm happy for you :dance:

I must comment though that is it still so unfair that certain service centers (Vermont) are so much faster than all the others. You shouldn't be punished for living in a particular area of the U.S. They need to re-vamp the system to make it fair and equitable for everyone. Maybe the whole thing needs to be centralized - I don't know.

.....I just e-mailed the embassy to see if they have set ours yet....might be a chance we would get an April date. Our DS230 was recieved March 10th.

Joanna,

Thanks Rhonda,

The system really sucks, by the time we get an interview date it will have been 6-7 months...I would really like an end of April or 1st part of May date...I still need at least a month to get ready for him to come here and still need to save some more money, also we have to plan for him to get off the ship and return to JA...thanks for crossing your fingers for me :thumbs:

Congratulation Tenika! :dance:

VCS seems to be the fastest service center. Robert's (rncarterjm) fiance filed a K-1 for him in December and he has his interview on April 3; so it only took about 3 1/2 months. Fortunately for me VSC is my service center too. All of the centers should be on par with this one as far as timelines go :yes:

REFLECTIONS

Never be afraid of this tomorrow of having he/she near

There are trials, errors in any formula to have the proper doses of love

To find the one who cares God knows if tomorrow he/she will be Dear

We started friends now my heart always wants you near

At times we are all afraid, what really made us afraid

Was it something we saw or something that was said?

Imagine no heaven, even with John Lennon dead--that was a lot he said

Online visa journey you ladies/gents do so much--still so much to be done

Tears, fears, distraught is just the start to obtain the love of your heart

Love is always compared to a rose--to me so delicate a touch could harm it

So strong--nothing can hurt it

I talk this truth--my heart has been to and from seeking happiness

Found hurt and pain--at times refused to go on and then I remember Solomon

He knew what love really is--love nor -knowledge nor wisdom is in the grave

No one sees the heart but God

Madness is in the heart of love

For the living know that they will die but the dead know not anything

For in life there is hope--for a living dog is better than a dead lion

Live joyfully with the person of your life for the time is short

Tomorrow, the last time we checked was not promised to us

Yet optimistically we all made plans

Be not afraid of tomorrow

Live life and be happy

Joanna - your time will come. Trust me, I know how you feel. The system does suck and things will be unfair to some during the entire visa journey. Not much we can do but remain patient and pray :luv: .

Well I also just got off the phone with the embassy also and they said they do not have an interview date for Adrian yet...they said that April interviews are already scheduled and that he will probally get a May date...she said call back between April 12-15th...WHAT!!!

That really sucks butt :lol: ...I am going to call every Friday till they give us a date....

Sorry but Tenika I am very jealous...you just flew through this process .... But I guess there is a reason and the lord has a plan for us.

But on a good note Adrian is being promoted to a bar server and will make more $$$$$$...I told him just to bust butt and make as much money as he can right now...he will make like 15% of what he sells in drinks (which is more them what he makes now)...I told him to flirt with the ladies to try and make more money :lol::whistle::lol:

CONGRATS ERIC!!!

AWWW, I am sorry Joanna :( . I know you started before me, and it is a tough wait. Don't worry though... keep hope, and email occasionally to find out about cancellations, they said it comes up one in a while.

Eric-- :dance: CONGRATS! 1 Awesome..soon your boo wil be here!! :dancing:

They do need to centralize everything. Once center should be so far behind the other. If people start complaining about the difference maybe they would do something about it.

The cool thing is yesterday I had booked my trip from the 9-19 still figuring that I may have to go back down in May for his interview. Sunday my Bishop prayed and had the congregation pray against all immigration barriors, look like it worked..Thank the Lord
