I was approved! :)

We have flights booked for June 10 due to husband's job. Embassy staff said I might get passport back in time but it was cutting it close. Just looking for some average times from others. We filed in London and paid for home delivery.

Thanks everyone!

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).
