At. Last.

I am very pleased to confirm that we have been successful in obtaining an immigrant visa interview at the US Embassy in London for James Ballingall. The Embassy have confirmed with me that an appointment has been made for *8 September at 9am*. The extensive liaison with the Embassy to ensure the quickest possible turnaround of the application and earliest interview date has paid off. The Embassy is under extreme pressure at the moment due to the volume of applications submitted daily. Therefore we are very pleased with the quick processing of the application.

The 8th of September. Upon realising that fell on a Friday, I balked. Two and a half weeks!!!

Except it isn't two and a half weeks.

It's like 10 days.

Two business days after the interview, James will get his passport back. Then we will be able to get on a plane to the USA. This may get pushed back a few days because James has to go to India that week. But...

... it is very likely that in three weeks, I will no longer be a Londoner.

I am stunned. I am speechless. I am both excited and devastated. And yet, this is what we've been waiting for. Our lives can move on.

At long last.

Edit: Londoners, save the 9th of September. I think we're having a partay, and you'd all better be there.
