Recent interviewees - do you have your passport yet??

[ilovemypants 6]

spent all day on the phone yesterday and got no where, just told to keep waiting and check the ceac website, which hasn't changed at all still just 'ready for interview'
anybody else got any good news?

[Chloezilla 2]

Nope. Haven't heard a thing. My CEAC does say issued on 8th so it's probably just sitting in the couriers office which is v. annoying.

Hope we hear before the end of the week!

Do you have a flight booked?

I'm flying on the 28th - I'm sure two weeks will be plenty of time for them! Fingers (and toes) crossed.

[ilovemypants 6]

we havent booked flights yet, hoping for the 21st though, been watching flight prices like hawks praying they don't sky rocket like they did for the 19th (our original leaving day) I can't risk buying 4 flights then not getting the visa's back!
fingers crossed we all hear by friday <3

Welcome to the final waiting party!

Guy who interviewed me said I'd prob have my visa by the end if this week! Grr. Guess as soon as they give it to the couriers it's outta their hands though.

You got a flight booked catie?

Oh yeah, I don't think I'd risk it with 4 tickets either! I originally wanted to book the 21st as well but the particular flight I wanted went up so I thought "well what's another week when I'm gonna be there forever".

Well today's another day of 'phone on full blast' and getting narky when anyone else rings me haha.

[ilovemypants 6]

lol chloe, I know the feeling..... I should be happy but I am in a terrible mood have been for 4 days now, just can't shake it haven't even started packing just feels like its never gonna happen, this is by far the most painful wait throughout this whole process, at least when waiting for the NOA2 we knew it would take forever! this bit is meant to be quick and painless! todays motto......it's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's a new life......for us.......AND WE'RE FEELING GOOD!!!! .... Maybe that will help for some positive news for at least one of us today xXx

Defo! Staying positive during this process is so difficult at times but it does help to look at the bigger picture. I keep thinking of Xmas time weirdly, thinking how then we'll all be settled in and this will be a distant memory!!

Where abouts are you guys moving to?

Ah the guy told me 10 working days but I'd heard people usually get them back before then. I've a flight booked for the 27th... eep! I thought that would be plenty of time. I just hope they have actually given it to the courier by now. I'm not going to let myself worry for now though... only if I haven't heard anything by say the middle of next week! For now I'm just keeping busy with packing and whatnot. Oh and stocking up on Nandos sauces for Bob haha.

[Chloezilla 2]

Yeah he said 10 days but 'probably' end of next (this) week. I'm not too worried either atm but come next week I'll start to be haha. 27th/28th...we have plenty of time!

I've packed one suitcase so far but keep getting things out debating whether its worth the precious space haha. Such a weird thing packing your life into suitcases.

Aw, I married a Bob too! Where abouts you gonna live?

[Chloezilla 2]

Aww haha I know! It is weird, everything into 2 suitcases... I had my wedding dress packed into a travel box the other day, that's going to come on the flight with me and isn't going to leave my sight! I'm actually living with my parents still, so a lot of my things can stay here. They will be coming out for the big "wedding day" in May next year so they might bring some stuff with them.

We're going to live in Longmont, CO! Well, possibly moving from Longmont later this year, but not too far away due to work and such. How about you?

Ugghh... I keep getting really weepy and emotional lately! I can't believe it's all actually happening now. Who would've guessed this part of the wait would be the most frustrating though lol. Still no phone call! I'm hoping they are actually going to call.... my number was confirmed twice at the interview, once by the first lady and again by the interviewer.. so I'm assuming that's because they're going to give my number to the courier? Then the courier will call to confirm delivery? I arranged to have it delivered to the Warrington depot. (Uh oh... my post descended into a slight worry lol)

[ilovemypants 6]

oh your taking your wedding dress on the flight too, I was planning on doing that but don't know how to go about it :/ Like you I don't want it to leave my sight!!!
ceac website STILL saying 'ready' for me today haven't started packing coz it feels like it's never gonna happen!
I am michigan bound, bought a little house out there should be closing on that tomorrow so he will be moving into there over the weekend.
I think by friday we are all going to be a little crazy with worry if no one has heard anything! everytime my phone rings and i learn it isn't the delivery people i'm trying to get them off the line! Although with mine still stating 'ready' I have given up hoping for them to call now, till it says issued I guess the embassy still haven't sorted them yet
