Our interview has been scheduled for November 30th at 8:45am. Unfortunately we are going to have to reschedule. I cannot be off work at month end so we are going to try to request an earlier date via an expedite. Hubby will be calling the consulate Monday for us. I cannot believe they gave us this late of a date at one of the slowest consulated there is! Craziness! :bonk:

If its low volume it must be low staff as well. With the holidays the staff could be less.

Good luck on the expedite.

... and welcome to October! Heh! That was going to be my first little segment to get through the disappointment from September - step 1, get to October; Step 2: two weeks to get an interview date; Step 3: Make it to November - then to the date whenever that is.. Now its October 2nd and with the date already here Its a bit of a single countdown (38 days by the way) Luckily there is lots to do!

I didn't update the list when it was my turn.. Sorry about that.. I think this is everyone at this point:

Maneesh and Snehal - November 1st (India)

Princessblack - November 4th (Jamaica)

Tom and Paula - November 9th (Colombia)

Almond and Gene - November 10th (Philippines)

Dave and Kinnari- November 10th (India)

Iryna and Robert - November 16th (Colombia)

Sarah and Matt (redtalent) - November 25th (UK)

One thing I have noticed is that the airlines have started changing prices. I purchased six one-way tickets (Yes I know - don't plan until the visa is in hand - but they can be exchanged for credit and I've added double the time suggested by the embassy). Anyway three of these were short hops on southwest (one for me on the way out to get an airline that does not service my area and two for on the way in to stop at Vegas for a few days).. Anyway the one way price had dropped from 140 (good) to 122 (very good!) so I decided to grab them but when I hit the purchase button I received an error - It said the only price available was 286! I called southwest and they said they were in the middle of changing prices. They honored the $122 for the three flights (though I had to wait on hold for about 25 minutes) whew! that would have been an extra $450.00! I checked today and sure enough all the flights for three days in either direction have more than doubled for flights into Vegas from Southwest. If you are going out for the interview get your tickets soon!

So flights are out of the way.. Next step: Medical.
