Hello Members of this forum, I have been following your discussions for the past 2 weeks ever since i received my interview letter from the Embassy in London. It has actually blessed and informed me in my case.

Toady I was approved of my K-1 Visa at the after a 2min interview with the CO. Though my case was a bit complicated, I am so happy and waiting for the return of my passport in 3-5 working days as I was told by the CO.

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you are doing a very great job here. I will keep you all informed as things unfold.

The waiting around was the thing that got me ... other than that it was a piece of cake! Wishing you and Pat all the best for the interview ... At least you'll be able to go into the Embassy waiting area and keep Pat company ....

PB&JAM, I totally agree with you, I could not sleep one wink the night before and the day of my fiance's interview. My head was constantly racing with thoughts (not to mention pulse and heart rate shooting sky-high) and then when my fiance called with the good news, it was like I finally landed on a pile of hay after catapulting in the air for so long :lol:

Can't wait to hear of your approval soon!!! :thumbs: :thumbs:

Oh and just for keeping track of everyone here, looks like I will be adding the following approvals along with PB&JAM's tomorrow:

18th May 2009.....RBAL_TN....K-1 Congrats!!! :dance:

21st May 2009.....JM&Vid.......K-1 Congrats!!! :dance:

Visa Journey completed, but we are still here to provide support! :)
