Hello everyone

I just wanted to share some good news with all of the people who are waiting patiently. My wife's interview date has been been moved up from June 2008 to the first week of FEB 2008! I did not e-mail or ask to have it moved up they just contacted my wife. Hopefully this will speed up the entire process.

Hey Everyone,

My case was just sent to ISB Embassay on Dec 14th and unfortunately my fiancee changed her address. Should I wait till they get my case or should I email them regarding her address change.

Thanks

Luaay
