Just to make it finally official (although I have alluded to this in a post elsewhere on VJ) -- WE HAVE A DATE!!! I was totally obsessing about whether London had forgotten all about us (although in the grand scheme of things our wait was relatively brief) and then Packet 4 plopped down on the mat yesterday morning, to inform us that we will be expected at 8.30am on June 19th at the Embassy. I am so psyched and so relieved that the end (or at least the end of the beginning!) is in sight.

Here's hoping for similar consular joys for all of you!!! :D

Congratulations! That's fantastic! :dance:

I've been watching your posts closely to see when you get your interview date. Me and my wife are in a similar position to you, albeit a couple of months behind. I'm hoping to get my visa by mid to late August. If your timeline is anything to go by then that's when I should get my interview (fingers crossed).

Let us know how it goes. Wish you all the best for the 19th

Thanks Mothy! When we started this whole process, we figured from looking at other people who'd done DCF through London that this would take around 5 months. And guess what? Our interview is 5 months and 1 day after our NOA1 says the I-130 was received. So all the fretting and worrying that something would go wrong was over nothing. I'll be watching out for you now, especially around mid- to late August!!!
