You could call DOS they will tell u exactly what it is but from just going form reading other peoples posts my guess would be the logging of your forms.I could of course be wrong .the embassy can take awhile to log them once they receive them.this is of course just my humble opinion as I said DOS can tell u smile.png

Okie doke thanks, I may try calling them just to clarify but it does make sense for it to be the forms

lol i know exactly how you feel :)

Thanks, yes patience is definitely an important virtue in this process. I had been doing pretty good, but now that the time is getting closer, she's wanting to plan the wedding and it's no fun having to tell her we can't commit to anything yet. It's both one of the most frustrating and exciting times all rolled into one.

Update to say she got her interview letter in the mail today. She had her medical on July 30 and her DS-2001 was at the Embassy on July 31. They logged the medical on August 5th and they logged the Readiness form on August 8th. Her interview date is set for September 17th at 8:00 am.

yay! so glad you finally got the interview date!! :)

U think its just a form logging? Darn that sucks its been almost 2 weeks since they signed for them, we were hoping it was packet 4 sent out

They got mine on 7/29 and they didn't log them in until 8/7 so hopefully you will hear something soon. :)

I know huh.I see people who sent their forms same day as me got them logged 20th but no such luck for me :-/. I guess it's the same process as the noa 2 though.you see people with the same time Line as you get their approval and you start to panick you have been forgotten. I don't know if it's just a coincidence but from looking on here over the last few weeks alot of people seem to be getting updates on Friday and Tuesday so I'm hopeful for tommorow or tuesday

Me too, my status was updated 13th and 16th but no news so far, very strange system they work.
