Cool, might see him there. If he's staying the night before then get him to message me and maybe hook up for a calming beer on the Sunday night.

Good luck :0)

I called the DOS and explained that our case was updated for the third time on the 7th Of October and just wanted to know what the update was, If it was an interview date being set on it, The lady was extremely nice, but she said that she can't go into the system to find out, I thought DOS could tell you? Or did I just call the wrong place. hah! :/

They used to do that. Too many calls from people who didn't want to wait for their letter. They quit answering those kind of questions.
