I am so scared that Johny is not going to be approved. He was a student here and technically is not supposed to come back to the United States for two years. And it wont even be a year yet until June. I dont think that will make them deny him but you never know and with my lovely luck they will deny him because of it.

Is this because of a J1 visa? 2 year residency requirement? If so, you can get a waiver for that. I don't know that much about it but maybe post in k1 forum for some more info.

Lol, crying is ok. It's an emotional experience. You are allowed. Jeremy has been on cloud nine since last Thursday. I am very happy for you. It's so nice to have so much good news on this thread - interviews, approvals, BABIES!!

28th Feb i'll be heading home, can't wait.

How are you going to contain yourself waiting that long!? :lol: I'm so happy for you!

So what did they ask you? Same sort of questions as Nick was asked?

I'm always curious as it seems that everything comes down to whomever is interviewing you.

I really wish my bonus had been paid in Jan...i'd be on the next flight out!! But have to wait till end Feb!!

asked how we 1st met

what his job was

plans for the wedding

talked about the snow and it grinding NC to a standstill 2weeks ago & London yesterday

Apart from the wait it was really easy, both the guys i saw were really friendly. The 1st one said i was very organised, as i had all paperwork with little post-it notes on so i could easily access what he wanted!
