Life can be so difficult, can't it? Sounds like you are having a really tough season of life. I agree with you about it being so nice to have this forum and to know that we aren't alone.

Hang in there! It won't always be this way.

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.

Thanks!

i can not tell you how happy i am to have found this board - saved me so much time

you guys are the BEST!!!

Shiri - I am assuming you haven't heard anything yet - I don't know what my chances are of getting an interview in Feb since I think they are only scheduling for 2 more days - but here's to both of us!!

I don't want to be a party pooper, but the chance of anyone getting a Feb interview at this point is pretty small (not saying it won't happen though!)

If you have quick look at the timeline, they normally schedule 2 months in advance, minimum - so basically you would be looking at a March interview at best (yours will most likely be April or May Kim)

yeah, I was looking at that

April is fine by me, I probably won't be moving till May anyway just due to my job - so that's all good

Well I just called the NVC and the operator told me that I was not scheduled for February. I asked her if they were done scheduling for February and she said yes. She was very short with me and did not say the usual, "Let me look that up for you" so I think I will try call again tomorrow.

Shiri did you call again?

Yeah I did and the operator quickly said, "But I see we aren't done scheduling yet, you should call back late tomorrow or Monday and maybe you will have better news." So we will see what we will see. Honestly if we don't get a Feb date, I just want a date period. This not knowing is brutal, ya know?

I know!! I called again tonight to talk to another operator and asked, "You are done scheduling for February?" as well as, "So now I am waiting to see if I get a March interview date?" And she said, "That is correct."

So I'm gearing back up for March now. I just want to know!!

Wow... so if it is the beginning of the month we should know soon? My two year anniversary is March 15, so does that mean we will get the IR-1 instead? Cuz the greencard takes a month to print... is that right?

[Travis & Kim 0]

so, will they not tell you until Feb if it's march? and if it's April they won't tell me till March?

Ooh, ooh, ooh... lol I just GOT what you said. I was going through the threads to look for scheduling trends... Ok, I have just went back a little bit, but check this out. The people on this thread reported November interview dates on Oct 14. On Oct 16 is when they reported Dec dates and Dec 1 is when they reported January dates. I remember Trailmix telling me she got her February date when her case was completed Nov 28 on Dec 20 of 2007. So, I'll probably still call tomorrow or Monday and just see. Here's to hoping!

I think you will get the IR-1. I'm pretty sure FrazelThomas got her IR-1 and has a similar situation to yours; her interview was a few weeks before her two year anniversary. I'm not 100% sure.

so, will they not tell you until Feb if it's march? and if it's April they won't tell me till March?

That is correct as far as I can gather. They schedule interviews for the following month on the second week IE: March interview will be scheduled the second week of February. Doesn't give a lot of time to book and have the medical done, though.

My husband said the doctor he is going to see books as early as next week... at least when he called. Of course he can't schedule the medical until we have an interview date.

I was actually wondering about the medical - but it lasts 6 months doesn't it?

btw - I hope we are not hijacking this thread
