Hey Q, he told the travel agent to put it on hold for him but won't actually pay the fee and reserve it till Wed. as he needs to make sure the visa is in hand prior to purchasing the ticket. He will be flying RJ most likely and POE will be JFK. GO RJ!

Hugs for (((((((((((((((((((JEN)))))))))))))))))). I can imagine how tough it is and waiting sucks big time I hope ur situation gets resolved as fast as possible!

Waving at everyone else! Mayra and Caroline, any news?

Hello lovely familia Thanks guys!

I guess eventhough u know u have all the required paperwork and have a 99% chance passing, there is always that little worrying static in the back of ur mind driving u nuts. I even had a dream I was at the interview in the few hours I was able to get a shut eye. I would sleep half an hour and glance at my cell phone then fall back asleep again. I didn't get the news till 5:20 a.m.

Our interview experience- Here u go:

Okay as promised here are the details of hubby’s interview.

Hubby arrived at consulate. Was not allowed to bring in any of the stuff he carried such as albums, wedding memory gift box I had made for him, diaries, etc. Was asked to leave bag @ cafeteria. Was only allowed to carry a folder with documents in there and some pics.

He first went to window # 6. They took the medical envelop from him, officer then got our NVC file, went over the DS 230 info. with hubby to ensure he knew all the details. He was asked my DOB and job, among other info. Then on to waiting….he was the last in. Others scheduled the same day all had left as he was called in. The consulate officer was a nice man of Indian descent. He didn’t want to c anything hubby had brought- no chat logs, no letters, not even wedding pics!!! He was most concerned with pics of family (especially one with the parents, with my mom and dad).

First, hubby was asked to tell our story. How we met and how we know each other. So hubby reached to get him chat logs and first initial meeting on Facebook (for those of you who don’t know our story, we were each other’s true love 14 yrs ago when I was in high school and hubby was in college and were then separated by family, friends due to our differences in religion, and my family moved us to the US and hubby and I lost touch but found e/o again on FB). So CO was very interested in hearing details of the story and wanted to hear hubby relate it rather than look at paperwork. He flat out told him that. He said I want to hear u tell it to me, I won’t look at any papers. So he asked hubby “How do u know e/o?”

Asked if we kept in touch with me all these years? Why not? Who found who first? AT THIS POINT UPON HEARING OUR FB STORY HE PULLED UP MY ACCOUNT ON THE PC AND LOOKED AT MY FB PAGE!! MY STATUS AT THE TIME READ: AWAITING TO HEAR THE BIG NEWS IN 4, 3, 2, 1!!!!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW……=D HAD NO CLUE CO WOULD BE CHECKING OUT MY FB PAGE!! Couldn't find hubby's page b/c he has it set on private so silly hubby tells him if u want u can have my password So CO says not it's ok lol

He then asked hubby a few more qs:

Where was ur wife born? What’s her DOB?

Why did u guys decide to not live here? Whose decision was it to choose America over Lebanon?

Why family wasn’t all present at the wedding?

How many times she came to visit you, will she come back?

Does she have family here?

Asked how we found e/o? Who found the other ( I did!!)? How come he didn’t find me or try to call me or write to me all these years.

If u don’t understand ask 4 q to be repeated

Demanded hubby speak English.

Asked about my divorce and ex’s nationality.

Saw my facebook page cz hubby said we found e/o on fb.

He asked hubby what time I go to work and when I come back. Wanted to establish if hubby knows my routine.

The CO did not even want to see my 2008 taxes!!! He only asked to see a copy of the police records and hubby’s original birth certificate, individual registry (Lebanese equivalent for ID) and family registry.

So glad it’s over!! Thank you for all my VJ buddies who helped me through this tiresome and stressful journey!!! Thank u guys! Special thanks to Lisa, Steve (BIG BRO ), Serendipity, Jen, Candid, Aruba and Queudeup for answering of all my qs and the laughs we had =D And my newfound buds in the Awaiting Interview Thread! Sorry if I missed any1. My head is still in the clouds! U are all so sweet and know that going through this with others kept me halfway sane lol Above all thanks to my hubby for riding this giant up and down roller coaster with me throughout all the ups and downs. And Thank God cz he showed us how to make our relationship even stronger through all this mess!!Hubby should arrive next week, Inshallah! I can’t wait for the big reunion!!!! No more goodbyes!!

CONGRATS GS!!!!

Thanks for the info....

And thanks God... No more Goodbyes for you!!
