Hi everyone.

You can probably guess where my husband is from based upon my display name here!

I mailed in the I-864 this week and am hoping all of that goes through smoothly. Unfortunately, I discovered that I forgot to include a cover sheet for that packet, so I pray it doesn't get sent back just for that.

Assuming the I-864 is accepted, any idea on how long we have before the interview is set? After the struggles some folks have had with this new "matrimonial interview" in Guayaquil, I'm trying to get an idea of when (the earliest) that could occur.

Thanks!
