You have to wait on the biometrics letter to try to do the walk in. I'm in the same waiting situation for biometrics letter.

Uncrustables... That is a good question indeed. I am curious myself.

But ’tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face.
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.

Just a curious question here. I've read that sometimes they don't require or ask you to go for an interview for a Green Card. Has anyone else ever heard of this? I've been seeing that almost everyone on here has an interview lined up.

Not that it really matters, but we're actually taking our long awaited honeymoon in September and I'm hoping the interview isn't scheduled during the time we're gone. That would suck!
