He said the interview was very easy! It was just time consuming to wait for all the different steps, but they approved him!

They asked, "How did you meet?" and "When are you getting married?"... "Ok, we have everything we need, you'll have your VISA in about a week!"

I guess you have to go to like 3 or 4 different windows. First they check all your documents, tell you what order they want everything in, etc. For the affidavit of support, they even said we had too much! They gave him back some of our proof. Then he just had to wait. His appointment was at 7:30AM. He was the 3rd person in line, but the first person there for a K VISA. Everyone with a K VISA gets a waiting number that starts with a "W". He actually didn't see the consular office until 9:30, and was walking out the door at 9:45. He got to the embassy at 6:55, and he said by 7:05, there were easily 120 people in line.. so getting there early is essential!

:) HOORAY!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you already have, but get started on everything for Packet 3 so it's ready to go. If you're quick to turn the paperwork around then July doesn't seem that far out of reach!

This may not apply to your Consulate but we were able to fax in a request for a provisional file and a copy of the NOA2 (before they even processed his case from NVC). They sent Liam's packet 3 out the very next day instead of waiting the usual week. It only gave us an extra day or so on time but had I known about it earlier we could have sped it up more. Like I said - may not apply but it's worth a shot!

Congrats again!
