We were pink 15 business days after our DNA test was taken and our Embassy Appointment was 5 business days later.

Yay for you!!

I am prediciting your pink e-mail on Monday the 3rd and appointment on Monday the 10th. Start packing-you will be in a tizzy when you finally get your pink! We had to wait 21/2 weeks between pink and our appointment and I still wasn't ready. So happy and excited for you!

Kim,
Back in April we were Pink 12 days from the DNA sample arriving at Labcorp and our embassy appt. was for 5 days after that! So be ready for quickness (the anti-thesis of the rest of the process!).

Happy Days for you! Enjoy every minute!

Oh, Kim, sooooo excited!

DNA should be to lapcorp Monday morning, so it should ship back out Thurs, but that means the USE won't process it until Monday. With the holidays at the beginning of the month, I'd guess Pink on Nov 4 with appt Nov 10.

However, if labcorp moves fast you could have results back to the USE by Weds night (unlikely, but...) in which case pink for Oct 30 and USE the week of Nov 3-6--can you vote early!?

I'd put my money on the week of Nov 10-14 as your pickup week.

Have fun getting ready!
