The RFE Trick: 1-800-375-5283,1,2,2,4,2,1,your case number,1,1

that is the 'rfe trick'. i dont know if it actually does anything, but at least you get to speak to a human. i called twice and they took the gentle droid approach. very professional and friendly, but very scripted.

I got my Packet four today!!!!!!!!!

My interview is scheduled for 11th March at 9:00am.

FANTASTIC!!!

Thanks to all on Visa Journey that has provided me with not only assistance to my dumb questions, but a great sense of community and camaraderie during the many months since we decided to start this process. Knowing there are so many people on here feeling the same emotions as me during this whole process really has been a fabulous help.

I'll be back home with my love and my two girls very soon! I can't wait!
