yayyyyy August 16.  Now the hubby needs to scramble to get his booster shots and get his medical!  I was hoping to join him for the interview but already had a fight booked for next week :/ Companies should allocate special time off for visa immigration as a life event.

I called NVC this morning and the rep said "good news, we are still scheduling August, so you might still have a chance" Love it....it also makes me realize the nature of this process...a combination of patience and chance...I guess :) 

 

Good luck to you.

True that. It has made all of us so patient.
