Interview at last

[NYN 0]

Hi everyone!

Today was our second and most awaited day in this whole visa odyssey, and we have great news. My husband´s visa was approved! Yey!

We got to the embassy at 11:45 am even though our appt was at noon because he had to pay his $400 fee which he did not pay last time. He came out around 2:15pm and he says he only took that long because they had lost his ¨yellow¨ paper which he received in interview one. He says had that piece of paper not been lost he would have been out about an hour sooner.

He says he was called and they took his fingerprints, and later went to a bank teller´s like window. (I had always envisioned a room for the ¨interview¨)

Anyway,the interview was only asked a handful of questions.

It was a tall female consular officer whose Spanish was a little difficult to understand but who was very nice. He was asked the following:

If the petitioner was his wife and how long I had been here, he said yes it was his wife and I had been there since the end of 2006. He was asked how long he had known me and he said since the beginning of 2007.

He was asked why he wanted to go back to the US. (To which he answered that he was not going back, he had never been there.) He also andwered in the negative to whether he had ever attempted to go to the US or had even been deported from there.

He was asked why he wanted to go and he said he had met me in school and that I was ¨tired¨ of this country. It´s true, but I didn´t think he should have put it that way! Anyway, she smiled at that, and he said I was so desperate to leave he finally became the same because of my anxiety to leave and that´s why he was there today so we could start our journey to the US. He says she smiled again.

She leafed through the form and asked who was our co-sponsor, he said it was his uncle. She then named the co-sponsor and asked who that man was, and my husband said thats him, my uncle. He was then asked if there were other relatives in the US. And he said yes, that he had two other uncles there.

He was asked were we wanted to go and he mentioned the state were his family lives. The consular officer then told him there was nothing to prevent him from traveling to the US. He was then told to raise his hand and attest that everything in the form was true. He raised his hand and said that he swore it was true. She said it was not neccesary for him to swear it. He was then told he was approved. He said thank you, and that was it!

So much stressing over this interview! I am so glad it was so painless. I thought it would be hours of questioning and ways to poke wholes in our marriage our the veracity of our relationship or such. I thought i would be questioned and hour stories compared. But no, most of the time we waited was because he was waiting for others to be interviewed.

As for the part in the form where it asks who would accompany the person to the interview. I don´t know what the point is since i was not even allowed to go in. All in all I feel very relieved. Now we only have to wait for the visa to arrive in the mail.

Good luck to everyone who is going through the same process. I hope it turns out as well for you all as it did for us.
