Mom's Immigrant Visa Interview Appointment

Aug 2, 2011- I called Dept. of State earlier today right after they opened. I was told that it's the best time to call if you wanted to speak to a live person. As expected, my Mom's Immigrant Visa interview is on Sept 9, 2011 at 6:30am, exactly 11 months from the time I filed the petition. It would've been earlier but the approval was delayed. But, at last , the 2nd chapter of my family's immigration journey is almost over :)
