George drove up to Kingston (again) yesterday to drop off the DS230. He said the lady at the window said all his papers were in order and she would "call him in 2 or 3 weeks" and if he didn't hear from her, he could call her to check on it. Is this how they're doing things now? How long from the call is the interview (i.e., will I have time to book at ticket and get down there?) The piece d'resistance of this Kingston trip was blowing out the engine on his taxi on the way home when he got to Falmouth--so that all the money we had saved for the visa fee and medical exam now had to go to replace the engine (sigh). Such is life.

Been away at a conference in Lake Placid for two days--gosh--lots of board activity to catch up on! What a drive through the Adirondacks with the leaves at peak and Beenie man blasting on the stereo (oh, for that wickedest slam....)

To be on the safe side 4 to 6 weeks.
Could be shorter could be longer.
You never know about that Embassy.

Anyone else waiting for a date this year?

They received the package from the NVC in January and they still have not assigned him a date yet.

It was about six weeks for us. Make sure you call the embassy if you don't hear anything. The earlier they tell you about the interview the better.

Hey KK

Congratulations on finally getting an interview date. I wish you much success on this leg of your journey. Will you be going to the interview?

Claire

Yes, I''m going to the interview next month. I will definitely post my experience on VJ.
