Sorry to hear about your interview date. But something to keep in mind when NVC made your appointment in general its just another day for them. Yet in the MENA and other muslim countries it is Ramadan and that right there hours are shortened, then will come Eid and days off for that, then last but not least the influx of student visas that need to be approved so the student can get to their college and university before school starts. They will be given priority due to the time line and most other interviews are slated for a later date to accomdate everything.
I think we definately need a permanent thread that one can view in their own time that talks about all aspects of abuse and have some share their stories, but also offer resources. Also need one on how to if your being scammed or not. Just a thought.
