Hi my fellow January filers!

I want to share the good news with you: I received the instruction package from the embassy today, yippee! Friday they emailed me they would send it on that day (June 1), but it wasn't postmarked until yesterday (June 5). I wonder if Mr. President's visit to Prague messed them up over there. :huh:

It isn't important, anyways. The instructions didn't say anything about returning forms back to them, I was just told to call them to schedule an interview once I have collected all listed items. So I did call right away, because thanks to VJ I have everything ready, of course. ;) First I was disappointed that the phone number they gave me didn't really work, it was just a recorded information line without any prompts or options. Only on the 4th try I was successful getting hold of somebody by hitting "0". The first available date was June 19th 15.30, so I grabbed it. Little disappointed again that I couldn't get appointment next week. Oh well. We are still very happy that I'll be home soon!!

I can start packing, yahooooo!! :dance:

If you are just connecting in London without leaving the airport you will not see any immigration officers. I went through LHR 4x2=8 times in the past 12 months and never went through passport control there.

Just want to let you know that I am a little behind, today the CSC finally put the repsonse to the RFE in their system :clock:

My SO sent it more than 2 weeks ago.

arnt

You are soon to have an answer. I went for almost three weeks before an answer. I called every day though, and finally got approved. We were approved on the 5th. But still no update on USCIS or an email. So, my advise is to pester them until you get an answer. PS, I sent my RFE on the 16th. They noted as receiving it on the 30th, even though my return receipt said they got it on the 17th. Good luck Arnt. Jen
