Lol

That was exactly what I felt then. It's never bliss unless visa is on hand. When visa on hand--bliss feels half-cooked--not until you are together again. :-P

You are almost there! Good luck!!! xoxoxo

Congratulations on case complete.

Now to interview assignment it’s all based on availability of your embassy and how many slots the embassy opened up for IR1/CR1 interviews.

The embassy sends over the dates hours and how many per day and the NVC starts filling the slots. That’s how it goes in Case Complete order.

The scheduling should start I figure by end of week for March.
