Finally! Visa status just changed to READY

You guys, I am SOOO excited! ☺️😊
My original interview date that I selected was August 17th because it was the earliest one available.
 
I checked the booking site to see if there were any new dates and they now have August 6th
The relevance of that date is it's going to be our second wedding anniversary!!
 
I immediately rescheduled to the 6th. I'm going to let my husband think it's still booked for the 17th, and I plan to surprise my him on the day
 
Hopefully it will be positive and something along the lines of "Surprise, I had my interview today and got approved, happy anniversary!!"
If that's the case, it'll be the best anniversary gift in the world 💙

Expedite was just approved!
 

Husband had his interview in Prague today..........APPPPPPPRRRROOOOVVVEEEDD!!!!!!! The man at the embassy said he should have his visa in hand in 3-5 business days!!! 
 
Hallelujah!!! Thank you to everyone in this chat and all the others who were so helpful and encouraging along the way!!!! I hope you all are approved/interviewed soon and reunited with your loved ones ASAP!!!

Here's my final post here (I think)!
 
My wife got an expedite in late June, and was interviewed immediately after her notification. Yesterday, four weeks after her interview, she received her visa and passport in the mail.
 
I want to thank everyone who's posted here, as their experiences and advice have helped us immensely throughout these last 19+ months (I still can't believe it took us that long). I also want to wish everyone good luck moving forward. I hope other members here are soon able to reunite with their loved ones! Stay healthy and safe, everyone!
