Got P4 early

[ed and ying]

Ying got her P4, one month earlier than predicted. Her interview is 10/20. Hopefully this is omen that the wait time is shrinking.

 

It was quite a shock. We have been discussing for several weeks if this round of P4 would show sign of shorter wait times. We were hoping for interview to come early, but resigned ourselves to a October P4.

 

We were discussing (via telephone) as Ying walked home from the store. All of a sudden she says "OMG, OMG". I panic, ask whats wrong, then in shaky voice she says " My P4 come, My P4 come " Sure enough EMS left a note that they would return at 4 pm that afternoon to deliver.

 

It was a sleepless night until I got the call at 3:45 am that it was the P4. I was worried, it was in something like we lose your P3, etc.

 

Guess I better get busy, Best wishes and luck to everyone else waiting !!!

Well, there goes a month that would otherwise be spent waiting. Now you can use it to start running around like a headless checken trying to get everything ready for the big day. Congratulations and good luck.

So, now the nervous pacing really begins! CONGRATULATIONS!

 

My SO and I are awaiting her P4. CFL predicts her interview on January 11. It sure would be great to bring them home before Christmas and New Years! This is very encouraging news.

Amerchin, Thanks ! I feel your worry, the process is so crazy. Despite a few emails to GUZ and calls to DOS, I could never get a direct confirmation or date that namecheck was completed. It stressed me, that some folks got this info and I could not.

I've got a feeling that things will be picking up. its just a feeling.

 

The new consulate offices are much better and seem much more organized. When i went to the old consulate in on April 1st, I just had a feeling i was in some dump, forgotten part of the world, and no one wanted to work there.

 

The new offices are in a real office building, with good AC, and as far as i could tell, no leaking roofs!

 

In the old building there was water stains all over the cealings, really a disgrace that it was called a US consulate!

 

Best of luck, and i really hope others continue to have shorter and shorter time lines!
