We got our interview date within 3 days of packet 3 being put into the embassy system. The interview was for 2 1/2 weeks later. We did follow advice from Dyfed and wrote a cover letter with our packet 3 letting them know why we needed a date quick though. You can call DOS to see if the packet has been put into the system and if an interview date has been set.

Also congrats to nickandkayte for the approval!!

Hey Wendy and John...my fiance mailed the DS forms on 10/12, the embassy didn't receive them until 10/16 and did not enter them into the system until 11/2 and the checklist on 11/4 and we still do not have an interview date. I am hoping this coming week will find out something...but who knows? and then add 2 to 3 weeks to that until the interview...unless its longer...at this point, I think that the time lines have changed even from those that interviewed at the end of last month and the beginning of this month. I hoping for all of us that we will get some dates soon...According to our timeline, it looks like it will be (and of course there is no way of knowing) but we are heading to week 4 without an interview date and then add 2 to 3 weeks to that once we do. I am trying to stay hopeful...but it is a challenge every single day...
