Welp the interview is scheduled for August 29... that was the farthest out I could get it. We wanted to schedule it for December but there was nothing available past August 29th... maybe I can contact the consulate and see if they can do it for them?? We were planning on doing it that way so that I could be there. I'm going for 3 weeks or either the whole month of December... she completed the DS-160 today and I just discovered that we were ready to schedule the interview tonight. I made an account, paid the fee and scheduled the interview. It all seems surreal. We've got a month and a half to get all of the documents collected. This will be a little nerve wrecking. I'm for sure going to see if it's possible to schedule it for sometime in December... praying that can happen instead of August but if not it's all good!! All I know is within 6 months I will be a married man and my fiancé will take my last name thus beginning our new life together. This went by very quickly, much quicker than I thought it would. Very surreal right now. I'm very thankful!

Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today I had a specialist go in and

Just checked my NVC number, didn't really expect any change since it's the weekend and nothing updated yesterday.  But, lo and behold, today it now says In Transit.  Yay!

Yay! Mine changed to "In Transit" too! It's unbelievable that they work weekends!

Question for those slightly ahead of us....

 

When I went on to CEAC website, it states our case is in transit.  It also states that the interview date was provided to me by the NVC.  I have not received anything via email/snail mail.  Is this a generic automated reply, or do we contact the embassy, or they already have scheduled?  Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't know about you, But my noa2 only has 4 months on it. It got approved 28th June and priority date says 27th October. I think that means by then I will have had to have my interview. Maybe you only have so long and December is out of that range.

 

I'm from uk so not sure if different embassies have different rules.

Yay! Mine changed to "In Transit" too! It's unbelievable that they work weekends!

Yes, I didn't really expect that at all.  Maybe they're trying to work through a backlog?  And Yay for you too!
