I am now 9 weeks.

My wife applied on May 18, got conditional approval a week later and goes for her appointment on Monday.
I left a message and received a prompt call back. As it had only been 8 weeks when I called, I was told this is the norm and to keep waiting. I plan on calling back next week, which would be 10 weeks since my application date.
