I always wondered about the thread naming.  Now I know!

Yeah, it's still a bit weird because by the time you have your interview, you're discussing it in a thread titled for the next month, but I think the point was for the new people coming to the threads who just received interview dates. 🤷‍♀️

Here's hoping you get your interview soon as well! Last month London issued 138 IR-1/CR-1 Visas, so they are making more progress through the backlog than some embassies, which is the good news. This year has definitely seemed eternal though!

138 visas?! That's great news, hopefully 138 people now getting to be with their spouses.

I'm so hopeful to be in the next batch, probably overly optimistic and more likely to be the batch after, but I think they are definitely getting close and if COVID can just hold off scaring the consular officers out of the embassy I think we may just make it! 

It was nine months since my husband and I saw each other, I bit the bullet last month and went over to see him because he's heading overseas for a deployment, but it's like seeing each other has cemented how hard it is being apart. We're officially desperate! 

 

I'll have my everything crossed for the next month or so! 

Good luck with your upcoming interview, hope all goes smoothly and you can get to see your spouse soonest afterwards!

The heading is always one month ahead because when you receive an interview date it is typically for the following month. It feels weirder because the interview process has been slowed down and people are in this thread for many months, but the naming is intentional. 

 

I've seen lots of interviews scheduled for London, so hopefully they get to your case soon!

Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't aware.

 

And I just got approved today! It was a pretty smooth process and they just wanted originals to the docs I provided at the NVC stage. Hoping they continue to dish out more interviews for you all! Good luck to everyone waiting!

 

So relieved and excited to book that final journey home to the husband. 💙

Yeah it's so hard to tell exactly what goes on in terms of where the embassies are in the backlog, but it does seem like things are picking up in many locations.

 

I'm glad to hear you were able to be reunited last month. I also was able to head overseas to see my spouse and it was so nice to see him after half a year of being apart!

 

Thank you so much for the luck, only 2 more weeks of waiting to see if we're finally done! 🤞🏻

Fingers crossed predictions are correct.

Ooooooooooof - as my husband would say. That hurts my heart for you. I try not to complain about our 9 months because I know so many people have had crazy amounts of time apart. Hopefully was the best renewal for your relationship and love for each other during that time 🥰

2 weeks and a few days and you'll be thinking about flights and moving dates - you've got this!!! 🤞

Montreal should start working with the NVC any day now and after 10 months we're hoping October will finally be our IL month! 

I hope so!!! Crazy that it’s been 10 months

Hello, interview is next week, do we need to have Ds5540?

Thank you.

 

Fill it out just in case. Haven't seen anyone asked for it lately but better to have and not need right.

[dwheels76 5,468]

Happy New Month everybody.🥳🙌

Shouldn't the heading be October and not November? 

 

Currently waiting at the London Embassy for my interview. 🤞

No we just finished October. They would be scheduling for November. It's always been like this. The last few days of previous month through usually 1st to 2nd week is for the next month, So it's October they would be scheduling for November. Sure some may get lucky and get a October date But it's been ike this for 9 years since I started this thread.week thru

The reason why we close the old is because we would have so many threads where people are there for the month they are scheduled and yet we are all talking the same language.

 

This way we all stay together. Look at all the DQ's since spring time each month we all stay together and move together.. Heck we had 5 months of nothing scheduled April thru July.

 

But watch you will see November start popping up once embassies start sending their calendars to NVC for scheduling for some embassies that are now open for regular processing.

That does make sense, and it actually has been pretty wonderful to have this familiar group of people travel through the threads from month to month all sharing and commiserating. And thank you to you for all the work you do keeping these threads going.
