6 days wasn't by choice. Under normal circumstances I would have done this way sooner, but this trip was a last minute decision based on some recent schedule shifts. We decided to pull the trigger and see if it would work out, knowing that there was a medium chance it may not.

To the SF folks -- I took Invalyd's advice (THANK YOU!) and went to the consulate today. Couldn't go inside with no appt, but they were super helpful and nice. Left info on a post it, and told them I mostly wanted to just confirm that my docs/uploads were all good. Got a call back 2 hrs later. Turns out my wife's ERFS didn't go through properly, so they asked me to email it to them ASAP. Sent it over and got our visas issued by EoD! On to the MySoS App!
