K1 Interview Part II

[Gerry and Debbie 0]

So.. Here I am with the second part of the hisstory!

As most of you know, I had 2 interviews

Interview #1 was like a pre-interview, submition of required documentation.. etc.. I got a yellow page telling me to present on the 27th..

Interview 2 (March 27th).. the actual interview...

Gerry came down on the 25th to be with me at the interview... It was really good to have him here... to feel his support ..

Together, we prepared all the evidence for the interview.. He brought more evidence He had at home... so we had plenty of info to show

The Appoiment was for 12M.. we were at the embassy by 11.25AM... We were super nervous.. anxious.. ... trying to relax was an imposible thing to do!..

So.. one lady asked us (all the people called that day for an interview) to go make a line to check the letter we had and to see if we were on the list... I was the #2!!.. after going thru that checking... we get in the embassy! around 12m...my fiance was not allowed to get in the interview place... so I was by myself but He was outside waiting for me ... and sweating! going crazy! ...

we were told to go and deposit the letter/page we had with the date and time name, etc.. in a window... Around 12.45PM... I was called to do the taking finger tips thing... I sat again... I waited for like 15 or 20 minutes more... when I was called the second time.. this time I was going to be interviewed by the consular officer...

When I arrived to the window.. I saw a young, nice, smiley and good looking woman... around 5 month pregnat ... She was extremly kind and nice.. and here is the interview itself.. sort of

Consular Officer: Hi! How are you?

Debbie: Fine thanks! and you?

C.O: Im fine thanks (she smiled).. So tell me how did you and your fiance meet?

D: We met in a single christians website back in Sept '06...blah blah... 4 months latter... he finally came down to meet me in person.. and since then he has been down 7 times! (the C.O made a surprised face..lol)

C.Oo is this your first marriage? are you single?

D: Yes this is my 1st marriage.. Im single yes...

C.O: and your fiance?

D: he is divorced.. I got the divorce decree with me.. would you like to see it?

C.O: No, its not necessary.. we got all the information we need here.

C.O: Do you have family in the US?

D: Anyone ( she smiled at me saying ok gotcha )

C.O: Does your fiance speak english?

D: He has been down for 7 times... and he is actually outside waiting for me..

C.O:Thats great!... so tell me Have you had any problems with the police?

C.O: Ok Debora.. Everything is Ok with your paperwork.. and you can get your visa.. Withing a week you will be receiving your visa.

(I walked away but I went back to the window)

Debbie: Excuse me... Did I get my visa aprooved?

Consul: Of course you did... You will get it in a week!

D: Ok!.. Thanks alot!.. and congrats for the baby!

I left the window and I just started running... to go tell Gerry the great news!.. he just heard me running and He knew it!.. then when I was out of the interview place... I was just yelling.. "Honey we did it!.. We got it!.."... then we just hugged and cried together!.. it was a wonderful and amazing moment!

Only a few simple questions!!...wow!

Sorry I got carried away!.. but this has been one of the greatest experiences of my whole life!

We spent the rest of the days gerry was here... trying to process everything... and trying to beleive that this is for real!

So for all those who are going thru this K1 visa.. hang in there!!!.. your time will come... I know its hard and frustating... but the time will come! and if you trust God with your heart!.. things will go by smooth and wonderful and super amazing!!!

And always be prepared!

We had our K-1 interview on the 27th also-but we left by 9:30am-so I guess we just missed you two! I'm so glad to read your story. Its exactly how we felt that day too! Now, four days later, we are STILL looking at each other & saying 'DID THAT JUST REALLY HAPPEN!?!?' If it weren't for God's peace we would have quit this process LONG ago-but it is SOOOO worth the wait!!!!!!!

I wish you blessings in everything!
