Hahaha...I know! It was sort of the same with my wife. I was talking a mile a minute, saying, "And one of the people was only complete ten days before us...and she was scheduled...and others were scheduled...and they're not done scheduling...and we might still make February...and if not, March...and...and...and..." And of course she just said, "Honey, just wait for YOUR email." :lol:

Hey, it's different when you're the active one in the process! And judging by how few husband AND wife posters there are around these parts, I'm guessing that most of us are the "active" partner in the process, with the other there more for moral support (and calm voicings of reason...)

My husband's response was, "Eh, I still think we're getting April."

I still think that too, but the NVC can feel free to surprise me at any time....

Congrats!!!

Any idea how long it takes to get the actual visa after the interview?

Typically between one and two weeks.

Is it possible to get it on the same day?

It has been known to happen, but usually due to extenuating circumstances.

Has anyone previously asked for their visa to be processed the same day? Did it work?

Many ask...few get it granted, unfortunately. BUT...it certainly can't hurt to ask. Just be prepared to receive a retort from the CO about why YOU should get it expedited!

I'm dying to know if La Souris and Blitz got theirs too...
