Consulate Appointment, USCIS & FOIA request

February 10th
So today I checked the website like I always do and Bam! There was the number! I called Bobby and told him to go look. He said he'd call as soon as they opened. I couldn't wait. He called and made an appointment for March 6th! I couldn't believe it was that soon. So then we checked the status of our FOIA request and we were still #640. Don't think we'll jump up that much in less than a month. So we called the USCIS to see if we could pay to get bumped and they said they don't do that except for death or imprisonment. The guy did say though that the average for our type of request is 6-9 months, so we've already exceeded that, which I think is good. At least he didn't say the average is like 4 years or something. Hmmm...but I'm trying to stay positive. It's supposed to happen this way, right? And it's not so bad because if we have to wait a little longer that just means we can both apply at the same time, which would be easier anyway. So maybe that's what we're supposed to do, but you know I wouldn't intentionally wait. I'd have to be forced, which is exactly what is happening. So it's not so bad. So now we have a new website we're checking every day to see the status of our fate.
