Everyone has a different situation here. I'm lucky because I am a teacher and can go over there for a month or two during the summer. I plan to go at the end of June and spend July there. We have two kids (3 and 5) and I have appointments for them July 1 and 3 for CRBA and passports. I'm hoping we can schedule her interview sometime soon so maybe they can all return with me at the end of July. But I understand your situation, and as we all know we stay connected long distance in various ways and can offer support for each other wherever we are.

hey have you got your interview date yet- ours is 07/10 glad we are at this step finally!
