I just arrived home to find that beautiful brown envelope in the post! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Our interview is set for February 28th at 8:30am!! Thank goodness!!! :dancing::dancing::dancing:

Now we start all the worrying about having everything we need. But at least we've been through this once before with the K-3, so this should go pretty smoothly.

A question to those of you who did the K-3 first: did you have to do anything regarding your medical results for the CR/IR 1 interview? We didn't receive copies of anything but the immunization sheet last time, so we don't have a copy of the medical to give them.

I'd also like to thank those of you who have helped us out so much over the last year & a half! If it weren't for this forum I doubt we would be where we are today.

THANK YOU VJers!!!!
