i am in the same position with u, planning to do the appeal. I just Fax the document to the State from Hong Kong, it costs me 5 US dollar......
Also, wish both u and I can make it, I really have no cues...why my oral score decreased significantly from 26 to 21 in a month .... but... i did lots practices for recent exam than previous one (actually...i did nothing for the first exam...)
