Hey all! Today is officially our 1 year since we submitted our immigration papers for the 130. We just celebrated our 4 year anniversary on 10/1.

Today I finally got a hold of the NVC at 6:30 PM. They told me our CC was yesterday and today they scheduled our interview in Tunisia... November 17th!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SOON!

Keep your heads up. One day at a time.

Best advice, while waiting in the process. Plan ahead for the next steps (i.e. collect docs for medical and plan for life together).

Unfortunately my husband sent me an article where NVC personnel are being utilised to fast track naturalisation of USA residents so they can vote in November 8 elections :( so the rest of us nowhere near residing have been placed further back hence the 6 weeks slowly turning into 8 for some! Meanwhile after waiting 69 days just for our petition to get there, I'm planning my last Christmas in Australia instead of my first in USA - onwards and upwards

thanks for the info. i guess i shall do the same and plan my last lonely holiday in the US without my husband, but I'm still holding on to a bit of hope.

So I've been noticing that almost no one with the scan dates 20_30 August has got his/her completed from the NVC, correct me if i'm wrong. That really puts those including us with the scan dates of early September in quite a miserable position, don't it?
