Thank you all!!!

The questions were standard, like where and when we met, how many times we saw each other, where I work and what I do for a living. The CO looked thru the pictures, said not enough for so many years! Then she noticed a highlighted field in the docs saying that we are half siblings!!! Well, I really have a half sister, she did apply for a visa few years back with my invitation, but she has a different name and birthday! What the hell they were smoking on May Day! The CO did not elaborate this too much, probably understanding the obvious mistake. All was done by about 1 pm.

Good luck to everyone!!! Try to avoid the interview right after any big Russian celebration!!! You might end up be related to your fiance(e) ... or aren't we related anyway?

So, her interview was on Wednesday, She got a call from DHL on Saturday about a package that had arrived. She picked up the visa on Sunday at the DHL office (she decided to have it delivered to the DHL office, not home).

This info for those who want to know about the visa delivery time. The CO officer told her at the interview that the visa is approved and she is passing it right to DHL. At least somebody there is doing what (s)he is suppose to!

As for the weird thing on the interview - I do not know. Maybe the CO trusted us when she learned that I am a doctor! Doctor's do not lie and they do not marry their own sister, are they? Even their half sister? My ex-wife was not my sister or a half sister. The statistical error on that information is +/- 1. On 10 ex-wives it would be about +/- 3. It is not a poisson distribution however! Your chances to meet your own sister and fall in love are higher. We need to add a systematic error to account for a bias. The systematic error is the most difficult part of any experiment! It is easier to trust your doctor :)

She is in panic mode now! Packing non-stop for several weeks :) Her plane is on Wednesday. She promised not to take her 220V waffle maker with her :) It looks like I can not avoid a good old cast iron frying pan. Otherwise I can not imagine what the hell is there to pack for so long!
