Today my husband called me at work to tell me he received Packet 3 for our CR-1, and was given an interview date of April 12, which will be just a few days short of exactly 8 months since we began our Visa Journey (August 17, 2006). It feels great ... like we can finally get excited about being so near the end. :dance:

I also got some news in the mail today ... it seems our I-129F finally arrived at the NVC. Puh-leeeese! I wrote USCIS ages ago to cancel it, first of all, and second of all ... nah, I won't bother with a tirade. :innocent:

So do I call them to tell them to scrap it, or do I just let the Embassy cancel it out when they see we have an interview set for the CR-1?

Hope others here can enjoy this feeling soon.

Same here. I consider the 129F a "backup" and just let it run.
