My apologies I just need to rant for a moment!

Im getting really frustrated... its been six weeks now since I submitted my packet 3, the embassy confirmed receipt of it two weeks ago, then when I called over a week ago said I was eligible for an interview but say they are waiting to assign me an interview date...

Other people who submitted their packets after me have been assigned interview dates, should I be concerned?

If it's been over a week since you last called, you should try calling again this week. When I called to confirm they received the DS forms, I was given the "eligible for an interview" line as well. Then, I called back the next week and they had the interview date/time.

Called DOS again today (and yesterday and the day before) still awaiting an interview date (The guy on the phone yesterday confirmed that my application had been processed and I was eligible for interview)... Why cant they just assign me one, I don't care how far in the future it is I just want a date so I can start making some plans!!!

Just a note from my experience, if you call in the morning (ie 1400 UK time), the call centre operators are grumpy as hell, if you call around 1900 they seem to be a lot more helpful!!
