Unfortunately guys I think we were all very very spoiled by seeing a few early approvals. We should be more realistic here and expect a 5 month wait period.. It has already been a month since my NOA1

Oh gosh, that's awful :( Can he come and see you if you can't go and see him?

Is it just a court date you're waiting for now? Has your solicitor given any indication of timescales etc?

He's coming over to go with me and my kids to the interview. Given that we've had to ask the Embassy for an extension (and might have to ask for another still), we figured this would help us with an approval. However, we have no idea when the interview will happen, so...

I talked to my lawyer a few days ago, and he says that really it's just waiting for the date to be set by the court. There's some nudging he can do to get it scheduled more quickly, but not a whole lot. So... we wait. :(

The K1 journey:                                                                                                                             The AOS journey:
