He is and so much more..my soul mate!! We understand how difficult emotionally this process is and our hearts go out to everyone who is in the journey to be together. We've been fortunately enough to be able to afford seeing each other every 9 weeks..but the time was never enough and those days apart are long and painful.. Soon..that's the. Word we continue to say over n over again..and soon it will be. Try to keep busy and fill your days until the moment comes. It doesn't make the hurt any easier but helps pass the time. When this is all over..we live in Central PA so we hope we will stay in touch!

Oops left man off!! I just rang Knightsbridge to see if my file had left and apparently it left on Friday for the embassy so I'm getting nervously excited!!!! Yeah it would be cool to stay in touch, when this is over we will be in Dubois PA, not sure how far away that is from you, but it will be nice to meet up, x

DOS is closed today due to winter storm. I have the number to the London Embassy ...question 1..Does the rate of $1.20 apply if I'm calling the 703-439-2367? question 2...The CEAC shows update today for us, I can assume it's they have Mark's medical. If they have a interview date will they tell me?

They shut down the customer service line when they changed procedures this summer. Have you seen this statement written in red on the embassy website?

Please note that you can expect to wait 6 weeks from the date on which you email the forms before being contacted by the Immigrant Visa Unit. We will not respond to status requests during this time.

They won't hold your hand through this time. They don't want you to call. Wait for DOS to thaw.

I keep praying we hear something soon! "Within 6 weeks" from the readiness doesn't mean anything really, within 6 weeks could mean tomorrow, next week, 2 weeks etc. so I wouldn't worry too much about that, I'm sure we'll all get good news in the coming days!

It will come soon for all of us. You're a week ahead of everyone on this page with your medical so I am eagerly looking for updates from your posts. I have read Nich- Nicks link and other posts and from what I can gather its about 4 weeks after the dated letter they send to us. I wish I was patient, but I am not. I just have to count my blessings that I haven't been waiting a year just for the NOA2 like others that must be dreadful! Any way I will check in tomorrow to see if your timeline has been updated with some good news.

Yup I noticed i'm a week ahead, I always look at timelines and look at the poor people stuck waiting for NOA2's for a year, I can't imagine what that must be like!
