Thank you very much for the info!

Hey, were you able to get a new date after you missed your original appointment?

Does anyone know if both husband and wife will get the oath date for the same day (the application was together)? My tracker got update with the date but my husband's did not. co-incidentally he will be travelling at that time, so it would be great if he is scheduled later :(
