We received the interview date this past Monday, 29 October, and the interview is this coming Monday, 5 November! It was postmarked 26 October, so they actually arranged it with very little time in between! We sent the DS-230 and DS-2001 to the embassy in London on 12 October, so it's just barely over 3 weeks between sending the application and having the actual interview! Normally for London, when you receive the interview letter, the interview is about three or four weeks later from then. Thankfully we were able to get the day off work at short notice. I'm getting a bit nervous!

(I'm the USC, and the hubby is English. We're both in England, so we applied for the CR1 directly through London USCIS and the embassy)

Wow! Congrats Margot -- we started out here on VJ around the same time and I'm glad to see you're finally nearing the end (even if the delay was your choice! ;) ).

Make sure you let us know how it all goes on the day!
