Hi Jlogajan: It appears you got your interview pretty quick after the embassy received your documents. We are still hoping for a Feb. interview. I'm so happy for you-----anything else you can share I would love to hear about the interview. The patient one, Alane & Ramzis :innocent::innocent:

Yes, after all that USCIS and NVC waiting suddenly we had to scramble to get documents for the interview. She never did receive the packet sent from the embassy, and we were waiting on it to see if it requested anything special from me. After deciding we were running out of time I sent documents based on the embassy website list and the Fedex delivery date was going to be SIX days after she had to leave to go to Moscow. Fortunately the Fedex documents arrived two days before she left. Whew. In the mean time I emailed her scans of everything I had and she printed them out -- that was our back-up plan.

The only way I knew her interview date was by looking at the US embassy website schedule. We would have been totally out of luck if we waited for any mailed notification of the interview date.

She's only sent me that one sentence description of the interview before she hopped the train for a 34 trip back home. She's just gotten home today after two weeks in Moscow.

Wow, congratulations to ALL the May K1 applicants who are almost done or who are done! Thats amazing!

I am happy for all of you and sad at the same time if that makes sense. It gives me hope and also frustrates me.

I see so many almost finished with the process that applied in May but yet we are still stuck at the NVC in administrative processing with no estimated time on when our papers will be sent. I guess I am very envious of all of you who have gone through this process without delay and all we have experienced so far is delays. It makes me feel, WHY US? What did we do so differently that I have to be kept from my love for so long? I know from reading this site that we are not the only ones that are having delays that we cannot control, but it does not make the frustration I feel any better. I never knew this process was going to be so trying.

I wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year, and I hope the new year brings us all wonderful things... (like the NVC finally sending our file!) Best wishes to you all!

Jennifer (waiting.... waiting.... and waiting for my love to be with me again)
