Fingers crossed he is here by then! We are on a bit of a time crunch too, I would just like Rich to be here by the end of July. My lease is up at the end of August, and I want to be able to search for our new home together. I think even if he can be here for early July, we will wait a bit, because plane tickets have been so expensive!! We are wanting him to work as much as possible before he comes over. Does anyone have any good websites to check or tips for booking cheap flights? Right now they're all looking to be over $1,000 USD for one way, yikes!!

You're not joking... he began trying to get them back in early MARCH! thanks for the well wishes. :) now come on, Dublin, schedule that interview! :clock: Like some of you, we're on a time crunch. His lease, job license, car registration ALL expire in July. And naturally, I'd LOVE for him to be here for 4th of July. :)

Ugh seriously?

My fiance and I have been hoping the visa will arrive less than 7 days after the interview - if it does she can get time off properly and save us both $600!

On Skyscanner!! It was listed as a $ amount not £ so I'm assuming USD.. It's absolutely insane how high prices are right now.

I also received a letter on Fri 30 May, and the interview is 05 June - this Thursday. I'm grateful for a quick interview but it would have been nicer to receive the letter a little earlier.

Interestingly my CEAC status has not been updated since 16 May, which proves people should not be using the CEAC date as any indication as to their interview.

Sadly i'm expecting a denial due to a police caution for a controlled substance and possible VWP misrepresentation, so its harder for us to join in on all the plans around here - wonderful though they are - for a new life in America.

Will post back here of course after Thursday. However it goes, i'm eternally grateful to this community for seeing us through a tricky process. All but done now, thanks to you guys.

Best of luck to everyone else nearing the end right now.

I surprised her with a proposal in Los Angeles, and this is how it went down!
