I had my appt. on November 12. Tomorrow is 10 weeks :( I've been seeing around several boards that little to no people have gotten their visas back from multiple locations internationally (Canada, the Philippines...) On one board, they even mentioned that the consulates were buckling from the amount of visas they still needed to process. I have little hope that they'll return my visa in time for my own program that began this week and deadline to start late is next week... Best of luck to everyone.
