Got there 7:20 for my 7:30 appointment.

A lady at the front asked for my letter, passport and two pictures. She gave them back to me then sent me in the line to go inside.

Went through security check point then into the courtyard where about 50 peoples was waiting. I went straight to the door and joined the line to get the yellow slip to write my passport number on.

The man said go inside and sit on the right. All seats were taken so i stood to the side.

The man who gave me yellow came inside and said he had bad news and good news which one do we want first. We said the bad news. He said the numbers on the ticket will not go in order and the good news is we will leave before the people on the left side. Everyone cracked up.

I love crossword puzzle so while i was waiting i did two pages, tried to relax.

About 9:15 i was called to the window to do the finger print.

The lady asked:

Who is filing for you?

Have you ever been to the US?

She asked for my passport, pictures and medical.

Did the finger print and said sit until you hear your number again.

In about 5 minutes i did.

The interviewer asked who is filing for me?

Then said one moment pls and went to the window i came from earlier. I was like what the F@$K?

She then asked:

How did you meet?

How long have you been intimate?

When did you decide you wanted to get married?

Why was he here in '07?

Do you have any children?

Is your daughter going with you?

Does your husband have any children?

How often do you see each other?

I asked if she wanted to see the stamps, she said yes and took them from me.

She didn't ask for any evidence.

Then she said your visa has been approved go to window 28.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
