Flying down to London today ready for my interview tomorrow!!! 3 HUGE files...1 with all 'official' stuff - forms, medical stuff, affidavit blah blah, 1 with EVIDENCE and 1 with all our travel/wedding/honeymoon plans and correspondence! I'm not sure it's possible to have more so praying that I have everything they could possibly ask for Now I just need to make sure I say the right thing too!!!

Interview this morning - APPROVED!

Will post his review later but he was asked for nothing other than the i-134 and the appointment letter. 157 pages of skype history printed for nothing.

One moment of panic when the interviewer said he had to check on something in his police report that might make him ineligible but all was well. He even gotten flirted with by the girls at the courier counter, so I'm guessing he thinks it was a day well spent.

Congrats to all the approvals and weddings and whatnot that I will catch up on tonight!

SLMcT - good luck tomorrow!

Wow. What a crazy few days. Received my visa Thursday morning, flew out of vancouver to JFK thursday night. I couldn't do POE because no one was working so we did it when we landed in NY on friday morning. Because i was in a wheel chair we were taken directly to the front of the line. Papers taken, th, fingerprinting done once again then off to secondary. It was simple and pleasant and felt good to hear her say congratulations and welcome. We were married 8 hours later. This storm was insane though. Our home is right on the water of Long Island sound. Never been so scared in all my life. But we are safe and still are one of the few still with power.

Good luck everyone

Terri

Beautiful photos Terri, I'm glad you're all safe and sound and all is well

Thanks for the congrats - having a wee down time before heading out to be tourists with the family - since we had to fly down and stay anyway we're staying 2 nights and having a last wee family holiday So thought i'd take a wee moment to revisit my morning...

5.45am - gave up on sleep!

6.30am - time to get up and shower

7.30am - left hotel to walk the 2.5 miles to the Embassy mostly thru Hyde Park - nice relaxing walk

8.30 - phone deposited at pharmacy and in line for security at the embassy! After emptying my bag and everything going thru the scanner separately following the scanner showing electronics, he finally asked if I had any cards that have batteries or anything and I thought - OH YEAH!!!!! I had 2 cards in the file that Jason had sent that speak to me!! He took them back out to mum who had been waiting to see me in ok and gave them to her! Bag repacked, rescanned and off I went to go in!

8.40am - sitting in embassy - let the wait commence!

9.00am - Called to window 14 where I had to submit all the forms - birth/police certificates and affidavit with supporting evidence. Finger prints taken. She asked a couple of times if I had been previously married - I felt like saying "Yes ma'am I AM 32 and never married!!" After seeing the Government headed employer letter she asked when Jason had returned to the US so obviously assumed he had been here and we met here so I put her right!

9.45am - INTERVIEW TIME!!!

Fingerprints checked and sworn with right hand raised to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth lol!!!

How do your parents feel about it all? They love him so are happy for me!

How do you keep in contact? - Video chat, magic jack, email, cards

Where does he live? Frederick - he works at Fort Detrick

Do you have savings or will your fiance be supporting you fully? - I have savings due to selling my flat which we have used some of to pay off his car and student loans so we can start married life debt free - he seemed impressed by that!

What are there names? Caleb and Ben

How old are they? 18 and 15

What school is Caleb going to go to? He's not sure what he wants to do yet so hasn't gone to school this year

All felt very much like just chatting - not like an interrogation at all even tho it looks like it after writing all that down!!! It was all very relaxed and he was smiling all thru it so I did too!!!

He told me it was approved and altho I was SCREAMING and jumping up and down inside I managed to maintain composure and just grinned excessively and said thank you a lot and wished him a good day!

Went to the courier desk to pay for delivery - tried to do the guaranteed before 8am but earliest they would do for where I live was before 12pm. I asked if paying a few £s more for that would prioritize me over standard payments and she said yes so I went for it! What's another £4 in the grand scheme of things lol!!!
