Hey guys! I'm here to let you know that my visa was approved yesterday at the Rio de Janeiro Embassy. During the interview they asked the basic things such as date of marriage and how we met. They also asked few things about my husband's info in the Affidavit of support and about his family like if he has brothers or sisters and if I know his brother. They asked to see our pictures and they asked what are our plans for the future.

I am the applicant and I was there by myself because my husband, the petitioner, couldn't take the days off to come to Brasil. :(

But everything is fine now and they will send my passport with the visa to my house in a few days. (That's how they do in Brazil)

I'm sooooo happy and thankful to God because I know He was there with me all the time! :dance::D:dance::D

Also, big thanks to everybody in VJ who helped me in this process. Now I'm getting ready for POE!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
