the INTERVIEW!!! (real version)

[AndyMisiu 0]

We (as in VJ) go through so much to finally get to the end.

First we study the process, study immigration laws, gather proof of meeting, fill out the forms, sweat whether or not we filled them out right, check the case status everyday, jump for joy with our NOA1, then really sweat whether we did everything right, call the USCIS, call congressman, worry what's wrong, then we get those 5 or so e-mails "NOA2 approved (some of us) and it's like the world has been lifted off our shoulders!! what a feeling!!

And guess what?? that last's about 5 minutes. Then we start to wonder when it's gonna get to the NVC, we call to see if they've got it, we wait and wait, then we hear the good news, forwarded to the Embassy "oh my god, oh my god" this is so great!!

But... that lasts for about 5 more minutes. Then we really figure out what this is about!! holy Sh!t, what now!! need to fill out the I-134, need the proof of relationship, need to fill out the paperwork correctly, when will she/he get packet 3?, what about the medical?, gotta get the police certificate, did I remember?, did we do this right?, when will she get packet 4?, I hope everything is ok!! and then... you get the interview date!! yes, yes, yes!!

and then.... you realize that it all comes down to the INTERVIEW!! dum, dum, dum.....dum~~~~~

All the love and all the tears come down to one day, your proof, a couple questions, and whether or not another person who's never met you and your fiancee before, believes you have a real relationship.

I don't know about anyone else but my fiancee is crawling up the walls with nerves. What a scary feeling to realize that it all comes down to this. How much pressure will you put on yourself, how much stress can one person endure??

Well, I can tell you this!!

Just be yourself, tell the truth, and have the confidence in knowing that you are one day!! one day!! away from ending the madness!! one day away from being with your loved one!! one day away from making all your dreams come true!! and anyone would be crazy not to believe your relationship is valid!!

Then you'll hear those wonderful words!! your visa is approved!! holy sh!t!! what a day that's going to be!! the best day of your life!! for sure!!

That should last about 5 days, and then................. you have to worry about AOS!! mother fukcer!!!!!!

I remember at the beginning of this process how simple I thought things were. Man!! have I learned a lot!!

I don't know the intent of this post. I guess I'm just reflecting a little.

Good luck to everyone on your interview!! and remember, it's just one day!! and it's all good!!

hahahahahhaha ROFL, Andy that is funny.

You could always factor in the visa delivery time waiting after interview as well! The embassy we are going through can be anywhere from 3 days for local delivery to as long as a month from what I have read on the board, unless you get put into Administrative Review that is before approval, then you might as well pack your bags and move over there.

Great stuff...insane I tell you.
