Hello guys, today was a really crazy!!! The interview was fast... but looooooooooooong.... They asked me almost everything in Loto's guide... lol.. well not exactly but they insisted a lot in how we met and how many times did he come to see me!!! I say they because there were 2 officers at the same time and then a girl named Blanca took my fingerprints and give me my white slip so i could pick up my passport on the 16th.

I arrived at 7:30 and I left at 9:30, I was the 4th to call for residency interviews, the 3 persons before me got denials!!! First I was called to window 1 and they went through my file, they throw in the trash some of the papers that my husband submitted as affidavit of support, bank letter, deposits and some other stuffs, then they told me to wait, i waited for 2 min and then they called me at window 3 and after that the girl said "there's nothing wrong in your case, go to the P.O. and pick up your passport!

Here are the questions they asked me!

Q) Where and How did you meet?

Q) How long have you known each other?

Q) When and where did you marry ?

Q) Do you have any photos of the ceremony and/or reception?

Q) Where does he work and what position does he hold?

Q) What do you do for living?

Q) Where does he live in the USA?

Q) Do you have any children?

Q) Does he have any children? How many ?

Q) When and where was your husband's prior marriage, if any?

Q) When and where was your husband's prior marriage termination/divorce, if any?

Q) Do you need SSN when you arrive at the U.S ?

Q)Do you know his children?

An hour later after I left the embassy they called me and said that I needed to come back because they needed to take my fingerprints again... So I drove as fast as I could and then waited like 10 minuts until the girl took my fingerprints again...

I asked if they were going to return my ORIGINALS and they say NO....

Well I can't tell it was easy, I was so confident so that helped a lot, NO DOUBT!

Well I talked to the 3 officials that interviewed me and they say that they have to keep the originals... they also told me that is illegal to get married again (we are getting married again in Las Vegas anyway! exactly 8 months after our marriage)

It was quite interesting interview but thank God everything went well, I already had my plane ticket and my hotel reservations for Vegas!!!

So Vegas here we go!

Oh really, so they need to keep the original papers?

May be some country will be no problems to keep the original paper because you can get other original , but like my original country, they will only issue once .

In this case I will ask consular to give back the original papers specially for marriage and birth certificate. the others are OK.

have a nice and safe trip to vegas.

CONGRATULATIONSSS!!!!

Do you speak spanish??

Me imagino que sip, es que mi ingles no es muy bueno, jajajaja!! Y queria explicarte lo del doble matrimonio! (En ingles se me complica mucho explicartelo, jajajjaa)

Yo me case en USA primero, y despues me case en Spain, y te voy a explicar porque no es ilegal!

El matrimonio de USA solo es legal dentro de USA, a no ser que yo fuera residente en Estados Unidos, y con ese certificado de matrimonio me fuera a la Embajada de ESpaña en USA, y solicitara la legalidad del matrimonio en Spain.

La Señora de la Embajada de España, me dijo, tal cual, tu estas tan soltera como yo dentro de ESpaña, estas casada solo en USA!

Asi que organizamos el matrimonio en Spain, y nos volvimos a casar de nuevo en España, es decir, ahora estoy legalmente casada en USA y en Spain, si solo me hubiera casado en SPain, seria lo mismo, tendria que haber legalizado mi matrimonio en USA!

ES muchisimo mas sencillo hacer dos bodas, y yap!!!

Me imagino que tu te has casado en Nicaragua con tu esposo, y ahora lo quieres hacer en USA, pues no es que sea legal legal, verdad?? Pero tu dentro de USA estas soltera porque tu matrimonio de Nicaragua no es oficial dentro de USA!

Ademas, si nos ponemos a darle vueltas al asunto, te estas casando con la misma persona, vaya que NO pasaria gran cosa!

En España te piden mucho papeleo para comprobar que no estas casado anteriormente, y que puedes casarte.

Pero en USA no te piden nada, solo un certificado, y que tu rellenas, no te piden documentacion extra, al menos en mi caso!

Mucha suerte y disfruta de tu doble boda, yo las disfrute muchisimo las dos! Ahora tengo dos aniversarios, y estoy feliz por ello, jajajjaa!!!

Suerte!!!
