WOOOHOOOOO!!!

Tram and I were going through all our paperwork to get her prepared for the interview when ever it comes. She told me she hand delivered the packet 3 to the consulate, but i found a mail reciept for it that she kept. She explained they would not accept it and they told her to mail it. Apon hearing this news i had her promptly call the consulate to confirm they received it and to ask if they have an interview date for her yet...

They did!! They say they received the packet 3 and sent her the packet 4 (have not seen it, but we will go bug the guys at the consulate tomorrow about it) and they have given her an interview date of December 10th!

Baring no delays she will be here for Christmas! This has been our goal all along! Wooohooo!!!

Looking at NeverSeen's timeline it says packet 3 was received on 09/20. You're looking at close to 3 months from the time of packet 3 and the interview date.

Thanks for the Congrats all!

Tram and I put the finishing touches on all our evidence and paperwork for the interview. It's a 6 inch stack of well organized paperwork. We have a section about my 1st visit with proof and pictures, 2nd visit with proof and pictures, a section of proof and pictures for our engagment party, phone bills, instant messanger convos, emails, letters to/from us and my family members, all the sent and received papers from me sending money, etc. Theres just so much paperwork! Oh and we have all her paperwork for the consulate nice and neat as well! We used tabs and binder clips for everything and have it in one of those "clear bag" folder things to keep it letter sized and easy to look through or take apart if needed.

Hopefully between the paperwork/records and a good interview from Tram (we've been practicing a lot with about 20-40 questions at a time to get her confidence up!), God willing, we'll have a pink slip on the first try!

Looking at NeverSeen's timeline it says packet 3 was received on 09/20. You're looking at close to 3 months from the time of packet 3 and the interview date.

Yup. Looks like from start to interview is just under 8 months for me. A little on the long side, but getting her here before Christmas was the goal all along. 1 month and counting until the interview now!

Question:

We were told the interview date over the phone. We are 1 month away and do not have packet 4 yet. When should we start to worry about receiving packet 4? I will have Tram call the embassy to see when they mailed it and what to do if it does not come in time etc. Just curious what you guys think?

I know you need the letter in it for the medical and to get into the embassy so I'm hoping it comes with no less than 2 weeks to spare so we can get all the stuff done in it.

Tram called the consulate on Monday and they told her to wait until the 26th. If it does not come they said to go pick it up at the consulate. I downloaded copies to her computer while i was there so she can collect any remaining papers and know what to expect. Here's hoping it shows up soon! I really don't want to play games with the consulate!
