This is the waiting for packet 4 thread.

Nah, don't worry about that psho. Just have new letters of intent handy at the interview. London routinely extends those without any further involvement from the couple.

Phew!

I did see a sample extension request letter in the guides somewhere, but if I don't have to use it, that'd be best.

I wonder what our expiration date is since I haven't actually SEEN the stinkin' NOA2 yet!!! I can count it out for myself and I don't *think* we'll have to worry, but then again, who knows, right? Oy.

I used that sample extention letter just to cover my bootay... I figured it was appropriate to send being that we still had no interview date and the approval was close to expiring (it was actually expired by the time we got our interview).

Montreal responded "thank you, we will automatically extend it".

Should be exactly 4 calendar months from your NOA2 date.

The State Dept. said our packet 4 was sent today!

Hmm.. going by your date (14 days since you sent Packet 3), I'm going to use June 20 as our "real" Packet 3 date, which would mean we'd get news about July 4.

ROLL ON, INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Called DOS today and they said packet 4 was sent yesterday, interview date Sept.4 at 9:30am. We were hoping to catch August but oh well, i'm just happy it's been scheduled

Blah - London is definitely running just a few weeks slower than they were for April and May scheduling it seems. Who are the mystery filers who snagged the rest of the July and early August dates! How could they keep their data from us?

Congrats on your interview date!

[rebeccajo 14]

Just want to say I am hoping those of you waiting will hear something soon. I remember what it was like to be frustrated with the wait - I just had to keep telling myself our case was processing normally. With the help of my friends to remind me of that, we made it through.

I remember it too, RJ (not so long ago!).

Hang in there - you all are on the downslope now!!

September! Noooooooooooo!

The only good thing about a September date (for me, any way) is that the flight will be cheaper -- maybe.

If you look at the processing times for the last 3 months in London:

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/stats.php?history=90

the average time between the consulate receiving information from the NVC and the interview date is 83 days. It does appear most people are currently within that norm.

Fingers crossed that everyone gets their date soon!

Should be. We could visit NI in September 07 (if we wanted) for about $200 apiece cheaper than July or August.

[TracyTN 237]

Yes psho, you will DEFINITELY save some dosh on flights if you depart after Labor day!!
