hey honey :)

I was just gonna send you a message bc I was too excited yesterday lol

ok, his interview went very well and not at all what I expected.

His appt was at 9am and they called his name and told him that all his documents were in order and he wasn't missing anything and asked him to come back at 1pm.

He went back for the interview and the gentleman who interviewed him was young and very nice.

He asked questions like:

How did you meet?

When did you meet?

Where did you meet?

When did you get married?

How many sisters does she have?

and then asked if he had any pictures of me, my husband had the photo album that I sent from here with all our and our family's pictures. My husband told him that he had letters and cards that I had sent but the gentleman said he only wanted the pictures and as he was looking through them he was asking my husband who the people in the pictures were.

I had pictures of everyone, his family, uncles, aunts etc and my family uncles, aunts, grandparents so that was good.

He was asked to sign on the second part of the application and they gave him a number and asked that he returns on Wed (tomorrow) to pick up his visa.

I hope your fiance's interview goes as smooth hon.

good luck :)
