Just got a call from our CO - we have PR! :cool
During the interview on Wednesday she said she'd let me know the final decision by Friday - I never really thought she'd make a decision in just two days! (And her letter to schedule my interview was sent on a Saturday - talk about working overtime!)
Thanks to everyone for advice and support. People on this forum are so helpful and friendly! :cheers :cheers :cheers
But I'd love to know how everyone is staying sane through this process. My head is spinning with all the logistics - putting the house on the market, scheduling shippers, finding jobs, moving, (trying to get final custody of my stepson), etc.! :uhoh
Will have to postpone worrying about all that stuff until the weekend - time to get out the good wine to celebrate!! Maybe even splurge on some dessert!
To everyone still waiting - hang in there - they are obviously working through the queue!
Cheers,
RoadRunner

we weren't sane when it started. ask anyone, they'll tell you we have to be nuts to ne moving...
we aren't as far as you - docs holding us up. the nice thing about getting pr is you can make solid decisions again instead of living in limbo.

Matt,
I'm curious... did you not have to arrange an interview via D.C.. office, then?
Actually, the London CO interviewed me herself - 4pm London time is 8am in Tucson so it worked out well. She was really nice, too. Used to live in Wellington so we chatted a bit about the neighbourhoods we were interested in.
Leslie,

HA! :laugh
I think you're right!
Certainly true about finally being able to start making decisions. Our house goes on the market this Wednesday!

Congratulations. It is so nice to hear so many PR's coming through.
Stuck in ex-hubbie document limbo at the moment, but hope to clear through this week.
Good luck with the move to Wellington. I have friend just moved back there recently who is really loving it, I am sure you will as well.
