When you love someone from the bottom of your heart; so much that you are willing to give your life for your loved one, time and distance takes a backseat. Only love prevails. And with love in you hearts you can overcome anything.

Hi Everyone!

Rinda went for the interview as planned on Oct 14th, but the interviewer was sick. They took her documents and the Thai local embassy staff were pretty aggresive and unhelpful. The lawyer had apparently mailed the original documents and embassy staff did not bother to look in the files. He just asked Rinda for them and refused to take the copies she had with her. He also refused to take her pictures in the photo album of relationship evidence that we had prepared, told her to remove just 20 of them, then later relented and gave the pictures back to be reinserted in the album while he impatiently waited. They rescheduled everyone who lived in Bangkok for an interview the next afternoon. The people who came from out of town were apparently allowed to stay and interview with a different consular officer.

When she returned the next afternoon, the document issue had apparently been resolved. The woman asked her to swear her oath in Thai and took her biometrics, then switched to English for the interview. The questions included where did you meet your fiance, how many trips did he take to visit you. She was approved and done in only about 5 minutes. Since the new interview was on a Thursday, she was asked to come back at 3pm on Monday to pick up the visa.

In any case, we are just about done and she is sooooooooo ready to come to the USA. She will be connecting through Japan and arriving in Los Angeles as POE. I can hardly wait too!

Good luck to everyone else still in the process. It is good to see the recent approvals and interview dates.
