Thanks Michelle.

What about the usage of For the meantime? Can you give an example as well?

I have never heard "for the meantime".

I think the correct is "in the meantime"

I have heard "for the meantime", but do not like it personally. "In the meantime" works for me. It may be that there is a confusion in people's usage with the phrase "for the time being", which is very similar, and could not be "in the time being". Just an educated guess
