I would contact them. People who have been "skipped" before have actually almost missed/missed their appointments because of late notice. This may not be the case---but it wouldn't hurt to contact them IMO. Good luck!

I was only half joking when I said I was vicariously stalking through you! I have been obsessively updating MY email today looking for YOUR email announcing Pink! I am so frustrated for you, I hope you get your news soon!

Call the Embassy--seriously, we didn't find out until yesterday that our pink slip was actually sent (to the wrong email address) last Wednesday. I bet we could have gotten alot better flights with the extra week notice. Call them and let us know what they say!

Like everyone else said: CALL-you never know what you might find out! I had to call to get my pink because my lawyer was lazy or I might have missed my appointment. Good Luck!!!

I emailed them again and they replied that the DNA has not reached the Consular section. But, they said that it would the day after it arrived at the embassy. I replied and again explained that it arrived Monday, so should have gotten to the Consular section yesterday according to their timeline, and asked that they investigate further.
Susie gave me the number...if no word today, I'll call tomorrow.
