I have the same question as Qbanita.

Case Complete Nov 13.

Should I call tomorrow or wait for the e-mail? Thoughts?

This is usually how it goes someone calls or we hear someone got a interview we announce start calling.Now every embassy doesn't start at same time. Note to Canada I swear you guys are always last. So don;t be dismayed if XYZ embassy is scheduling like crazy and your embassy hasn't started. For December interviews they were done by first week in November and they had not even started for Dominican Republic yet.

So if you can stand it you can wait the email comes anywhere from same day to days later. It's up to you. Most want to know I try my best to keep my ears to the ground and say "Mexico is scheduling start calling". So be alert.

Thank you!!! I think I'm probably the only Cuban embassy waiting for an interview in this forum, I may try to get a little patience and wait till Wednesday or so before calling... I'm so tired of this waiting game :( but the worse is behind us.. fingers crossed to get something by Wednesday..

Yep, I've been abroad with him during all this. We are very fortunate to have gone through this process together. Yes, a good breakfast is the plan. Colombians are early risers and take their breakfast and coffee very seriously, so we definitely won't go hungry at the embassy. Thank you so much for your kind words, and for all you do here on VJ. I'll report back tomorrow as soon as I can!

I know!! The sooner we know the faster we can go on booking the flight, hope to hear something soon. I still have to request my Vacation time at work then find a decent price on flight from Virginia to Florida then Florida to Cuba.. Not a fun trip but my hubby wants me there for the interview.
