Hello everyone!

So great news today. My husband called me last night and told me he passed his interview!!! Woohoo! Thanks everyone for your help and support.

Here's the breakdown for anyone who's interested:

His interview was scheduled for 10am, he got there at around 7:40am, gave in his cell phone/passport/other documents and waited until 11:30ish/noon. I believe he was also interviewed by the same lady that Loi&Suong was interviewed by (a Korean lady/Vietnamese translator)-- the interview took no more than 10 minutes! WOW! The questions were:

1. How did you guys meet?

2. When did you meet in person?

3. When did you become boyfriend/girlfriend?

4. When did you get married?

5. Can I see some pictures of you guys together? -- Gave her the wedding pictures, she didn't want to see them, instead she saw other pictures of our outgoings.

So the only "prove" that he showed her were a few pictures of us at the beaches - no chat logs, no phone logs, nothing else.

Then she said "You're very clear." - and the Vietnamese lady handed back all our original documents and gave him the pink slip. He will pick up his visa on the 29th.

Thanks again everyone and all the best for those who have upcoming interviews!

Yes, I believe they both got the same interviewer, which is great. Perhaps they pile up all the visa approvals for the week, and process them all for the next week? But nonetheless, congrats to both of us! Woohoo! Have you booked the ticket?

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!
