Thats wonderful. Good Luck!!! I didn't know they did interviews on Fridays. Maybe there are trying to get rid of backlog before Christmas. In a way, I'm hoping we get interviewed by the end of this

From the time I sent my Pkt 3 to the US Consulate Sydney, it took 17 days total to receive Pkt 4 where I received 9 days notice to actual interview and this was in October this year. I also noticed that they were moving faster after I sent mine in so I am guessing it won't be long now for you all now :)

Wishing you all the best Flowershoes, Chestnut, Ozgirl and anyone else waiting - it is so exciting to have that 'date' locked in when it happens. What a great Christmas present!

Have a happy weekend. Take care.
