Well i just got back like 1 hour ago. I had to wait in London until my dad had finished with an interview.

Anyway, here's what happened.

I arrived at around at bond street tube station at 6:50. I then had a slow walk towards the embassy, which is only 5 mins away. I took in Oxford street (which is one of the biggest streets for shopping London). It was nice to see it dead!!

I was walking through square right next to the embassy and i bump into Kris. i talked his ear off, which i do when i am excited...

anyway... got in line and we waited till about 7:30, when they started to let us in through security. I went through (praying that my memory stick will be ok..didnt realise it was in my bag) It was fine. Walked around to the door and took a ticket number. I was so happy when i saw the magic 5000. I was the first one.

Sat there from 7:46 till 8 and called to window 14, where i met a guy, he took my passport and told me to hang for a min. He went and got my stuff. He then gave me back my exrays, and just went through my file, taking out originals, ticking things. I also got a pass port pic back (one of the one's sent to the NVC), apparently they only need one. He took my finger prints, gave me a note about removing conditions, gave me a welcome to America book, and then told me to sit down and wait for the interview.

All i had to give to him was my passport!!!

I then sat down and was waiting for about 10-15 mins, not long at all, and then i was called to windon 15 and was met by a young american women. She was very nice and she asked how i was. She then verified my finger prints, gave me back documents, which were already sitting in the dip thing (not sure what it is called). I then swore i was telling the tught was asked to sign the DS-230 part 2. She then asked me 4 questions...well it was 3i think the 4th was just being nosey.

1st, Tell e about your husband, how did you meet?

2nd-does he live here?

3rd - what does he do

4th- which i wont into too much detail, but was asking about his dad (co sponsor) what he did. Just being nosey about something which i thought was her opinion and shouldnt of been in the interview.

Then she said, your approved.. take pink slip to courier.

That was it out and on Oxford street by 8;40 :dance::dance::dance::whistle:
