ooh! Does this mean that a visa is pending?

It all depends what you mean by "pending"</joad>.

Once this interview takes place, I'm told I can wait "16 to 18 weeks" for a decision.

ouch. Have you looked into doing any online freelance work in the meantime? I know you still do some contract work for people in the London area, but there are several sites on the internet where you can find freelance programming/design work. Or would your skillset not be suited to that sort of thing? I get the impression you are more of a hardware than straight programming person...

Not really a hardware person, but not a programming person instead -- more a sort of infrastructure/systems person. I'll do hardware, of course -- but only as required to get the necessary infrastructure in place.

I look after firewalls, mail servers, file servers, routers, all that sort of thing. Installing and configuring that sort of thing -- initially, at least -- is difficult to do online, because getting in contact with the machines rather depends on the necessary infrastructure already being in place.

Still, progress is good, no? And it's a required step along the way.

Is this good or bad?

It's good. But the process is still slow.

Well here's hoping it all goes well for your sake and for [info]scarlatti's sake.

ah. Well, best of luck to you!

There's a small chance I'll be moving to the D.C./Virgina area this summer (depends on if I get the job there or not), so I'll be crossing my fingers that we'll both be living in that corner of the world sooner rather than later.

Good luck - keeping everything crossed for you. Linda says if there's a librarian shortage, give her a yell ;)

Fingers crossed, toes crossed, legs crossed...

I will be so glad when this uncertainty is no longer hanging over you both.

And it had better resolve in favour of America (though I'll miss you like hell).
