It's been a while since I wrote something here but now I have a question. Two days ago my visa was approved! Glorious day and sooo much stress off my shoulders. It was strange though..I had read about people and their interviews, but mine wasn't anything like I'd read. I came to the embassy, heart in my pants, expecting a grueling interview, but when my name was called...Well, some lady greeted me through a glass, asked me to give her my fingerprints, then I sat down. This was in the waiting area, and some guy was right there listening...

Anyways, she had my papers in her lap, asked me what my intentions were for entering the US, how and when I met my fiance and what his name was, not once looking up from my papers. Like she wasn't even listening...Suddenly after a little silence and her going through my papers she said: This visa is good for six months, after you enter the US blablabla...and that was it! She told me to pick it up after the weekend and sent me on my way. I didn't know what to do, cause this was so weird...Not like an official interview o.O She didn't even want to see evidence of relationship, wich i had spent a lot of time collecting :P

Wow...I got off track here...didn't I have a question..Oh yeah, I'm nervous about going out to the States, cause the last time I was there, first time I went to the US, I stayed for 93 days, and not on a visa, didn't need one at the time, I was a tourist. But is this gonna make things difficult at the point(port?) of entry? Maybe this is a silly question, but I'm not finding good answers anywhere, hoping someone here has experiences similar things, or know more than me about all this...Thanks.

Good question. Your new visa takes the place of anything else in the past. By the way, most visa applications are reviewed before the interview, so if you included proofs of your relationship, they were useful to whomever reviewed your file.

well, the weird thing was, the lady who took all my papers and gave it to the other lady who read over them, didn't want my evidence papers...she just told me to present them at the interview if it was requested wich it wasn't..o.O But I guess it doesn't matter now since it's over with and the visa is mine :)
