APPROVED! ....or atleast I think so! He called from a pay phone I think and he got cut off really fast, but he said we have been approved and they took his passport, so no additional docs. at least! I will get the whole story as soon as I can!

Thank you for all your wishes everyone :)

Just talked to him! He said the interview was incredibly easy. They asked how we met, and he explained that we met while he was studying abroad at my uni, they then asked if i had ever studied abroad, he told them yes, in japan. they asked when the wedding was, and then said congrats you're approved!

I am kinda nervous though because although they told him the normal time for receiving the visa, they then said there's a bit of a backlog..as we know....so who knows how long its gonna take him to get the visa. He paid for the before 8 am delivery.

Yeah, called DOS, extortion line, Embassy reception, etc. They all say "it's processing", but can't tell me how long or if anything is wrong. I got our senator's office involved yesterday, as I had to wait 15 working days before I could do that. Hopefully I can find out what the delay is and when I do, I'll let you guys know as I know I'm not the only one biting my fingernails to the knuckle!

Awesome!

None of us are going to get any sleep the night before POE either.

Especially in my case where my friends are determined to get me drunk beyond belief (not gonna happen ;) ) but still going to be partying all night regardless.
