Thanks, it's really helpful to know that this happens sometimes and it's not all going to just disappear forever lol! My biggest question is how on earth do you get through to the CSC? We have called the USCIS I don't know how many times and they say it is impossible to call the CSC....do you have a number? My fiance did call the congressman yesterday so hopefully that will get us somewhere soon too.

This whole thing just makes you want to scream doesn't it!!!!

All the best for your interview :thumbs:

The number I used was 1-800-375-5283. Calling today or tomorrow should will work out better. expect to be waiting for 20 minutes or so before you get someone.

now for an UPDATE!!! :dance: Tina has received a date for her interview, October 8th!! Just got off the phone with her, she has her medical on the 25th of this month so that will be out of the way. Things are moving now.

CONGRATS! Our interview is on the 6th! I am flying out on the 3rd and just booked return flights yesterday for October 14th. I was going to wait for the visas to be in our hands before getting the flight, but when I checked yesterday, the flights I needed were going quickly. I gambled and booked the flights...now the Embassy had better not delay things! :)

GOOD LUCK! :thumbs:

Hey guys...finally an update from my side. My Fiancee and I were both trying to call the embassy last night. I kept trying and trying but couldn't get through. I gave up after 30 mins. So 45 seconds I get a call from my fiancee telling me that her interview is on September 29th! I think she got her Packet 4 today as well.

So....almost there!

A delightful update! Dennis and I just got back to our hotel from our interview. We were at the embassy for almost four hours..and it was worth every minute. We were called up to hand in our paperwork and the lady who took it was VERY impressed with our organization (yay VJ!), then sat back down. Then Dennis was called up for his fingerprints and we were told to sit and wait for our interview. While waiting we heard the two couples in front of us have their interviews, one had been denied for a tourist visa last year because the officers didn't believe she would come back at that time. They were finally approved after a pretty in depth interview. The other couple asked specifically when they could pick up their visa and were told that it was impossible to do them same day, because the information has to go back to Washington and they were already closed there. Both couples were called up, told to sit back down, then called up for additional interviewing

They called Dennis up (I was allowed to go with him) and spent less than five minutes with the interviewer. She asked how we'd met, what type of wedding we were planning on having, and what we each did for work. Then she said those magical five words "I'm satisfied with your relationship." She sent us over to the first window to get instructions. The lady there said that the consulate will be closed tomorrow! :( Normally you can pick up your visa the next day at Vancouver...we were a bit panicking then because we have plane tickets to fly back home tomorrow night! The lady told us to sit down and she would try to print the visa right then and there for us. :) We sat for another hour or so and she called us up and gave us the sealed packet and returned Dennis' passport! Apparently we REALLY impressed her, since they had just told someone else it was impossible to do, but made an exception for us! :)

Thank you all for the well wishes and the support through this process, it's taken SO long, but finally we'll be heading home together! We leave Canada on Friday and are going to drive back to Salt Lake. I hope everyone who is still waiting gets their good news soon!
