Still totally buzzing that I got through immigration with absolutely no more hassle than normal :D

You weren't worried were you? Because you were the absolute picture of calm.

Oh wait. Calm's not the word I'm looking for. "ZOMGIMGONNAGETDENIEDAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHYPERVENTILATINGOMGHELPHELPHELP!" is the word I'm looking for.

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would update the July filers. We sent our I-129F on July 11, 2007. And I have my interview at the Vancouver Consulate this Wednesday (Feb. 13, 2008). Yay!

Good luck to you all!

Thanks!

I was surprised we got the interview so quickly. What happened was... we had faxed in the DS-230 Part 1... but for some reason the fax messed up and they only received the first page. So I got a call directly from the Vancouver Consulate asking me to re-fax the papers, and the guy said "while you're on the phone I can go ahead and schedule you for an interview". He asked what day I wanted and I said ASAP, so he gave me a date which was less than two weeks from the phone call. Crazy! I think we may have lucked out by accident because of the fax issues.

Just thought I'd share.

Wow! It's great to hear that things can go in 'our' favour sometimes. I might try messing up the paperwork when I send my packet 3 back. Or maybe not! :P

Meanwhile, heres what going on with us. Bhushan submitted his Packet 3 on Feb 4th and received Packet 4 in less than a week. But the interview is on April 14th! It takes almost 2 and months at the Mumbai Embassy. Thankfully and surprisingly, I havent been too stressed out lately, its all going smooth after the NOA2...well so far. Keeping fingers crossed for a smoother interview and POE.

A smooth visa journey and much speed to all!
