hey everyone.

Aruba, get back so we can hear details! ;)

the countdown: 12 days :dance:

Someone interviewed today that Y knows.. 5 questions and "you will have your visa in 2 weeks" yaay I hope ours is that easy :D

12 days wow!!!!

Great news...hopefully Y found out the questions such that he is well prepared.

ya, I'll get the full report in a few. :)

Que,

how long till you leave? any luck with those closets yet? :P

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I think the next month or so is going to be a happy one for many ppl. My wife has her interview May 6th. Like many of you her emotions are running fast. We all do our part, stay in prayer, and trust in a big God. Thanks to others posting we know to have our 2008 returns for the interview. What about attending the interview with your spouse? Any denials or problems for not attending?

thanks.

Congrats on the interview date :D

I dont think they will deny just because a spouse isnt there. Im sure it helps to say "my husband/wife, is here"

Do you know if your consulate allows the spouse to go into the interview?
