I'm sorry, Candi, you'll need to wait for approval. Not to mention, you'll be unable to travel as you'll be without a passport, since that goes with your visa application.
John,
I have a question. Candi says that the housing for her and her husband is being arranged by the Army. Assuming she fulfills all other requirements for the visa, and she could get it, do you think a letter from the Army guaranteeing housing from a certain date might be enough for proving accomodation, if she also said she'll be heading over after that date? That was she can apply earlier than June and probably have visa in hand, ready to go, by the time her lease runs out in July.
