Hello beautiful people!

Pascal had his interview yesterday and he said that everything went well. The lady loved our pictures, she went crazy went she saw my Verizon bill and said while smiling "she must love you very much!". He said they were laughing like old friends and she asked him basic questions. He was very confortable at the interview. However, at the end of it, she told him that they will call him when his file is ready and she took the best numbers he can be reached at. What does it mean? i've been reading this forum and everybody has been approved on the spot or told to bring more information if needed....Unfortunately, there is no one here who went by the Ivory Coast consulate that i can refer too...I have called the consulate twice and they told me that i should be patient and that they will call him this week. I told them that i thought it would be automatic and they said that they have to prepare a packet and print a visa etc...and that if he was denied they would've told him so on the spot. I then asked if he was approved and they said that they don't like to garantee anything until they call him to confirm it but that i shouldn't worry and to sit tight. I know i should be satisfied with their answer and be patient especially since there are only 3 days left till the end of the week but it really sucks not knowing...Anyone has any ideas? i don't really know what i am asking...i guess i just wish he was approved like NOW!

I don't know what this means, and I feel your pain for having everything left undecided. It would have been horrible to not know after he walked out of the consulate.

Nevertheless, if this is what they say is normal procedure, then take them at face value. Wait until the end of the week, and if they don't call, then I would start calling them again.

I hope you will get good news soon!

That's good. There wouldn't be any reason to keep the passport unless they are wanting to put the visa into it. Be cautiously optimistic - things look good. :thumbs:

The keeping of the passport is normally a good sign that they will issue the VISA as they have to physically print it on one of the pages. One of my friends from there said they took the passport then called when it was ready for his wife to pick it up. Otherwise they give it back to you and the spot and deny you. I understand the tension, but this is a good sign.

The longer it takes to introduce yourself the less you've actually accomplished

Thank you guys for the reassuring words....i will patiently wait. Panamachic, can you ask your friend how long they waited for their wife to pick up the visa and let me know? thank you.
