Just checked my case status and it says "Issued"... I suppose I will get an email soon from DX Tracking?!

Were thinking sometime in the second week in February at this point.

She usually flies in to Newark and then a hopper flight to Ohio but this time maybe a direct flight to Detroit or Columbus so I could drive there and pick her up so no long waiting between flights.

Congrats on the approval! Chicago seems cheap at some times of year? Not sure how far it is from you but too far for me as I'd have to get a 7 hour bus down to Kentucky. Cinci is expensive in July o.O I bet you can't wait. Congrats again!

Wow that was fast! Bet you're super excited now?

I'm mostly stressed that my house sale has hit a hitch at the last second - not the distraction I wanted

Going to start getting everything ready to apply for my police certificate next week. I hopefully (as long as Boots give me it) my Td on Friday. Once I've done that I have another appointment Feb 6th to get a letter from my GP about preexisting medical conditions and then I just wait. I doubt I'll get my NOA2 until very end of next month or early-mid march. But at least everything will be in place for when I need it.

I had my TD today. Horrible thing. I could taste it soon after they gave it to me and I still can.

Hello again everyone! I called the NVC and got the interview date which was awesome. Didn't even have to wait on hold!

It's February 23rd at 8am, so it seems like I was being way paranoid about finding out too late!

Anyway, I am looking up train tickets on Virgin and it looks like if I get a train any later than 2pm prices jump up from like £20 to over £100???

If his interview is at 8am, can I assume he will have plenty of time to get everything done and get back to the station around 1pm? Or do you think that is cutting it a little close?

Oh nooo about the house. That isn't good - did the sale fall through?!

A lovely interview date for yourselves now to

Best place to look for trains is on here http://uk.megabus.com/ we got a good deal and saved some money.

My interview is at 8am and we are booked on something like a 1:30pm return, letter says it could be up to 3 hours being there, hoping it won't be nearly as long.

Well done on getting interview date!

I think 1pm for train will be fine... I mean, no one can tell you 100% as you never know what can happen, but put it this way, mine was schedule for 9:30, I was out by 10:15/10:30.

Hopefully everything will sort itself out, can do without the added worries about that to.

I'm not sure where you guys are travelling from. Trains are extortionate. If you can drive to an outer London tube, you will save loads. We drove to Leytonstone, paid £6 for parking, and tube to bond street and back any time is about £15... but ignore me if you aren't within 2/3 hours of London!

Interview letter has arrived, booked in for the 19th Feb, 8AM! Exciting times, need to start investigating trains and accommodation now though, anyone know of decent places to stay near the embassy?
