Fiance's interview went well on Thursday. He was told it would take 2-5 business days to verify his paperwork and my finances before they could print his visa (so, technically great news) HOWEVER, the consular services section of the embassy was closed today due to a "consular systems upgrade" and was closed to the public. Monday is columbus day, Wednesday and Thursday are Islamic New Year and they'll have Friday off because, it's Tunisia...............sooooooooooooo this coming Tuesday is business day 2....then the following week is probably when things will happen. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

A week later and we are still waiting on the call/email to pick up his visa :/ A call to the NVC proved that he WAS issued a visa, we just need to pick it up - but he cannot just show up to the embassy. He needs to have an appointment letter in hand in order to be let in. SO LAME!
