Just wanted to post SO has his interview this morning and he just said everything went GREAT. Of course he got the usual 221g for additional processing and was told they would call him in maximum of one month. He got the blonde lady and said she was nice. He said all the Consular Officers are actually very nice. She questioned him for about 20-25 mins, asking same questions multiply times in different ways (thank God I prepared him for that). She asked pretty much the same questions everyone asks.

How did you meet

When did you meet

How many times did she come see you

Do you have any pics

How often do you speak on the phone (daily and slide phone bills to her)

What is your phone number

Do you have any other numbers

He pretty much gave her his life story in 20 min :lol: . After she handed him the paper and told him it was normal and not to worry, that is was just for more processing in Washington. He did ask her 2 more times if everything was ok, that please he HAD to tell his fiance something when he leaves. She said for him to tell me that everything is just fine.

So I am extremely relieved this is over and now I can go get some sleep. :wacko:

Carrie and Simo

Yay, Carrie! What great news! I know it'll feel more real when he actually has the visa in his passport, but it's the best news you could have gotten today.

I'm very happy for you both and hope the AP goes very quickly!

It wasn't an RFE, it was just the standard 221g for administrative processing that gets issued to nearly everyone going through Casablanca (and many others). So she should be happy - it was great news! :D

YEA CARRIE AND SIMO!!!!!! :dance::dance: I was hoping you had posted since I was able to sneak online. I'm so happy for you both. I just knew Simo would do just fine. It's so important to ask them again and again if you have to to make sure you are told everything is just fine and he is only awaiting AR for his visa to be issued. Now you both can relax until he comes home to you. Way to go Simo, wonderful interview and for making sure you could bring back the good news to Carrie with no worries.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
