Hey guys, we are APPROVED!! :dancing:

Interview was a piece of cake, other than the 5 hour wait.

I gave him passport photos, my birth certificate, 134 form with a tax return and my police certificate. He didn't ask me for evidence of their U.S citizenship or any more supporting evidence like pay-stubs, etc. or relationship evidence.

The actual interview went great, too. The nice American man asked me how we met, what Bill did/does for a living, when I finish school and what our wedding plans were.. then told me that he was going to hold onto my passport (I gasped inside for fear of AP) so that he can put a nice visa inside. :)

I travelled for 7 hours today and waited for 5 in the waiting room, with a headache and anxiety, but it all turned out great.

Thanks for the support, guys!

Thanks guys.

I have school to finish too, but plan to flying out on June 14th. I'm having a huge party the night before I go with all of my friends and some of my family. That will be kinda fun, except my friends are pretty upset now that I've been approved because they don't want me to leave. I know there are going to be lots of tears and pleading.. I'm trying to keep things into perspective and remind myself and everyone that I'm not leaving Earth - just England! There'll be visits, the phone, texts, packages, etc... and of course, I'm so excited to not have to leave Massachusetts in tears again. :)

I really hope everyone else gets what they're currently waiting for.

I ALSO HAVE A HEART ON MY STATUS!

:)

Thanks VJ!
