Yeah, but I can feel it. THIS IS IT.

Do not be skeptical.

I just found an app, also a website that has the cheapest air fares I ever seen.

They are dirt cheap, one catch though, multiple connections and lay overs, but if you have the time and want to save big, then give it a try.

Great news everyone! Today my husband had his interview and he was APPROVED! 9 months exactly from when we sent out documents to the USCIS to today! Anyone know how long it's taking for London interviews to receive their passport back? He lives in Liverpool. They say a standard of 2 weeks but wanted to see if anyone knows differently - we're hoping for sooner!!! I'm hoping for the luck of the Irish and him to get it back by St Paddys Day!

My husbands interview is in 2 weeks from today and this is what our document organization looks like, plus a professional wedding photo album and 180 additional pictures. It is insane the amount of paperwork we have lol. But I rather be overloaded then not have enough stuff. :)

Okay thanks! I will go back and purchase one because jihad purchased a plastic report pocketed 3 ring that and can bend and fold and was thinking that it could hold all documents and slide under the window.

Hello,

Yes Feb 24th is your scan date. Based on the recent CCs, NVC seems to be taking about 30-33 days on average from the scan date to get a case complete.. that's if you don't receive a checklist. Remaining positive that you won't receive a checklist :thumbs:, it's certainly possible that your case could be completed by the end of this month. :)
