Barroq&Yuting,

I meant that I noticed that there's a sort of pattern in which notices might be distributed. So, NOAs might be distributed on a certain day of the week. I had notice something similar with interview dates. Sorry for the confusion!

Yay! I'll keep you posted if I hear anything on my end. Kudos to your fiance - my head would be spinning if I did this when I was in grad school! But love moves mountains, haha. All the best! :)

Even though we will be dealing with an apparently easy embassy (London), we front-loaded our petition with evidence of a relationship. I probably got a little carried away with other supporting documentation and included my passport scans as well as my BC because I wasn't sure if the BC is the "long form" they ask for or not. It is the BC with which I obtained my passport last year, so I'm assuming it is sufficient, but I didn't want to get an RFE about that. With all of the documents and evidence we submitted, the package was about 100 pages, but looked very tidy with tabs at the bottom and two-hole-punched at the top. I have uploaded an image of this to my profile because I wasn't able to find where to upload it to this post. In any case, good luck to everyone, my fellow July filers! :dancing:
