Success!! My fiancee has her visa in-hand!!! We are elated as you can imagine!!

I wasn't present for the interview (i am here in the us), so she did it alone.

We were prepared for anything the interviewer could give us, but in the end the interview turned out to be quite simple.

where did you meet your fiancee

when did you meet him?

How old are you?

how old is your fiancee?

what are your marriage plans?

After her response, the CO simple stated:

"this case is approved, you have 90 days to marry upon arrival to the US and 6 months to travel to US."

The CO had our materials (134, evidence, etc) at his desk before calling my fiancee for the interview. My fiancee handed in this material at the beginning of the day (she waited for about 5 hours before her number was called for the interview). During the interview the CO was looking over all the material my fiancee presented in the morning (e.g. 134), which was all in order (thanks in part to the great advice I received from reading visajourney.com for the past 6 months).

The CO also had all of the evidence that we presented in the beginning 129f (he looked through the pictures that were originally sent too).

anyway, she should be here in 2 to 3 weeks! yeeeeeeeeeee!

good luck to all!
