:) Thank you all for all of the congrats. We were very lucky the case went smooth and fast without lawyer's help. Plus I only went to Viet Nam one time, and we did not have an engagement party. But she presented many evidences at the interview, especially the hand-written letters counted a lot!!! The interview took at least 30 mins with only a few questions asked (5 or less), the CO and translator spent most of the time reading two hand-written letters in Vietnamese (my letters to my fiancee). There were too many letters I sent to her, but they only randomly chose to read two. The CO picked the long one (about 5-6 pages). They did not read the letters from my fiancee sent to me. There were many emails but they did not look at. So letters are better than emails.

Just a corrections: Our first slip given was blue (asking for timeline and evidence paid for airline tickets), and second slip was green, NOT BLUE, (asking for our parents' Birth Certs). Then we were approved right away after submitting the Birth Certs.

Hope all of you in AP will get PINKs asap. And good luck to all upcoming interviews. Again thanks all and best wishes!:)

Hi would u also send me the outline? my fiance had her interview yesterday and got the blue :crying: . CO is asking for a statement of relationship and proof of our first meeting back in 2003. I would like the outline just in case the CO wants a more detail statement? Also to see if the statement i just sent to the fiance is correct?
