[Brian&Mel 0]

Passed my interview and our journey is finnaly reaching its destination.

I arrived at the embassy at 8am and was told that I can only go in at 8.30am. Went through security check and was given queue number. I waited for about 10 minutes before my number was called and handed them the docs required. After checking the docs, the lady asked me to come back again at 1.30 for my actual interview. I was out of the embassy by 9.30am.

After lunch, I went back to the embassy at 1.00pm. I then again went through the security check and went straight to the waiting room. I was waiting nervously for my number to be called and there were 3 of us in the waiting room. At about 1.35pm, my number was called and I went to counter 6 for my interview.

The CO greeted me and he was young and polite.

CO: Tell me, how come you are married to a guy xx older than you?

CO: What makes you like him?

CO: How do you guys met? Where did you meet him for the first time?

He asked a few more questions about our relationship and then he cancelled my B2 visa.

At one point, he was saying "I am not trying to be rude or trying to intrude your privacy but there are people who are using marriage as a ticket to USA. I hope you don't mind me asking these questions."

And I replied "I understand"

CO: What does your husband work as?

CO: You were living in the states for the last 6 months?

Me: I was visiting.

CO: Visiting? So, you have not moved all your stuff to the states?

I smiled when he said that.

Then he went through the file and look through all the documents. He also took out the photos that I provided earlier and we were going through some of the pics. He also commented on some on the photos.

He gave me back all my original docs and also my expired passport.

CO: You are qualify for the CR1 visa. Congrats! Please be seated and we will give you the instruction on how to collect your passport tomorrow.

Thats it!!!!! Interview was done in about 15 minutes. I was really nervous but I am glad that my husband and I are well prepared. And we kinda expected that kind of questions.

Throughout the interview, I maintained a very good eye contact with the CO. I looked into his eyes when I was answering his questions.

I was out of the embassy by 2.15pm.

I am glad that this is over and I can moved to USA to reunite with my husband.

I would like to thank VJ for all the advise, help and contribution for the last 10 months. It sure does makes us feel better when we know there are people like us outside there. For those who has yet to complete the journey, hang on there and your patience will pay off one day!

Thanks again!

My hearty congratulations and best wishes to you.

If you do not mind could you tell me how much age difference you guys have.

There are many VJ friends who are in the same situation including me.

That might hepl.

Thanks everyone for your wishes. Brian and I are both glad that the wait is finally over.

I can say that Brian is old enough to be my dad.

The CO are only concerned about our age gap because he didn't asked much after he was satisfied with my answer with regards to our age gap. For those who are in the same situation, I would advise you guys to be fully prepared to answer such questions. Brian and I have discussed about the possible questions that will be asked and the age gap questions has been our main concern.

Nevertheless, we are glad that it's finally over.

Best of luck guys!

Thanks Mel. I appreciate your help.

Love comes first and Love is blind.

Love is God and God is love.

Life with love is bliss and without it is void.

Enjoy your life and be happy for ever.

Congrats.

Can I ask you what the marital status is inside your CR-1 stamp? For my wife, it says "SNG" which means single.
