Wow, it's been a journey with lots of setbacks and heart aches but we hung in there all the way to the finish line. We started our journey at VSC, ended up with CSC. Spent 3 weeks in AP after NOA2. Somehow our medical results got lost before the interview but USEM made up for it by expediting our visa processing. So,,we are looking forward to our flight home together next week. Oh man, that last part feels good!!!

Congrats! Where did you guys change your address for pickup at MOA? We were told to go to window 68 and the guy gave us a paper to fill out but when we called 2go yesterday they said it was being delivered to our apartment. It seems like someone messed up and our flight is on Monday!

When I scheduled the interview online I selected a visa pickup at MOA. This was indicated on our appointment confirmation. We never had to change the visa pickup designation at window 68. We are leaving Monday also....
