Hey everyone, I'm back :)

I just wanted to say thank you guys for all the support, the interview was easy but the consul is hard to read.

Like, I got there at 7:30, the appointment was at 7:45. There were 24 people in front of me and we could get in the consulate real fast, i didnt bring any eletronics so I didnt have to wait all the people to go through the metal detector.

...

Good for you gixbr. Sounds like you were really put to the test that day and you passed in flying colors!!! Congratulations!!! Well since he didn't say it, I will....WELCOME TO AMERICA!!!! :dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs:

vny

hahahah thank you vny! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: It was a tough day but all worthed! ;)

Hey vny! you're with us too, How are you?

Yep, we're just waiting like everyone else. Been having some weird dreams lately, but like I told my wife, we should be okay. Just hanging in there. It'll be Mon for her there Japan, but it'll be Sunday afternoon here in Hawaii, so we'll know soon. I think it is starting to hit her too, but we skype everyday so we can talk things out. I'm just worried about her getting there on time since she had to catch the train there.

Anyway, Good Luck to you and KD too, and also, welcome to Birdie. Hope we all have good interviews.

Anyway, she better pass because she's already booked plane for the 19th. lol

Good Luck everyone!!! Yours is coming soon too Amanda...hang in there!!!

Hey everyone, I'm back :)

I just wanted to say thank you guys for all the support, the interview was easy but the consul is hard to read.

Like, I got there at 7:30, the appointment was at 7:45. There were 24 people in front of me and we could get in the consulate real fast, i didnt bring any eletronics so I didnt have to wait all the people to go through the metal detector.

I got upstairs and the lady gave us a list of documents we had to havve, and the right order. Later they call us to the little room and receives all the documents, then the person there gets a big big file, where it has all our documents, since the I-130, he gave me back my photos, the ones I sent with the I-130, but then he saw NVC didnt accept my photos, I guess the background wasn't white enough. But then since a lot of people dont take a perfect photo you can leave the consulate, take the photo (in the same block) and come back, what sucks is that if you do that, the consul starts seeing people who have all the right documents, so if my number is 5 but the person number 6 has all the right things he will go in front of me. One good thing is he said Id have to take another pictures anyway cause I looked different (I lost 15 pounds) :D

So I went there, toook the photos and came back. Then I wwaited for my number to be called. By 11:30am the lady said the consul was gonna stop for now and would be back at 1pm and we would have to leave the building and come back later. So I went outside, ate, went to an internet cafe to talked to my husband, who was dying to hear the news, i told him all the story and went back to the consulate.

There were only 3 people left to be called, including me, and I was the very last one to be called!!!!! Cmon!!!!!!! It was about 2 pm when my number was called. Like I said, the consul asks some questions and you can see he is trying to "read"you. It's weird, he doesnt laugh and doesnt react really to your answers. Since I've been to the US before he asked me a lot about it, but I never stayed illegal.

These were the questions:

- Asked for photos

- How did you meet your husband?

- When did you decide to get married?

- So you tried the fiance visa and didnt work? (He thought we had applied for the k1 visa before!! I guess he got confused because it was the K3)

- What does your husband for work?

- What visa did you have when you went? (Then he asked a few more questions all visa related)

Ah btw, the interview was all in english, he asked in the beginning "do you speak english?" since I said yes, he went on in english.

So he said "Your visa will be approved, we might do some verification but you will get your passport next week". Like, I really wanted him to say "WELCOME TO AMERICA" hahahahah, is that silly? But I did.

Well, I was kind of affraid of that last "verification" thing, but Im "clean" so I think there wont be any problems. So.....POE June 24th!! Cant wait to see my love! He bought the tickets today! :D

God really made me calm all the time, before and during, I'm really blessed!

Very good luck to all oof you, how awesome will be when all from this topic have their visa approved?!! :)

congrats!!! thats great news!
