Looks like the numbers have been increasing each month. I wonder if they are processing things faster, or there are more VJ people going through the process or just what the reason is.

I hope we can add our name to the May list soon. I'll call the DOS tomorrow and see if anything has changed. Last week when I called they said Pat was approved for an interview but no date had been assigned yet. I need all the lead-time I can get because I'm flying there to be with her at the interview... reserving vacation time, airfare, etc.

OK, I've got another question.

Just opened my Packet 4 and I am curious about one thing they wrote down. At the bottom of the page where it says "Visa Appointment" and the details, on mine, under Preference Category, it says K1 - HRV.

I have my suspicion what HRV means (country of birth) but I'm not sure if that's correct. What does it say on everybody else's? If my assumption is correct, than everybody born in the UK should have K1 - UK. Am I correct or completely off the mark here? :unsure: Can anybody who still have their P4 shed some light on this please?

Thanks guys.

Thanks Nich-Nick. So it is indeed a country of birth :).

I wonder if that means I'll automatically be placed in the AP? :unsure::blink: Hopefully not but I’ll just have to wait and see. :whistle:
