The wait is over! Visa approved!

From our NOA1 on March 31, 2008, it's been a long road, but we received our visa in the mail June 25, 2009! I was able to attend the interview in person, since I had some time off from work I was able to plan a vacation to be with my wife for the interview.

The interview was on the 23rd at the Sydney consulate, it was pretty uneventful, the whole process took about an hour which included security checks, waiting for those ahead of us, and maybe about 10 minutes total talking to two different people. The first was a lady who went through our paperwork and verified that we had everything we needed, then we took a seat again and had to wait to be called up to the actual guy doing the interview, which was only about five minutes. He asked us a few basic questions about when and how long ago we met, what I was doing, and when she planned on leaving for the US. That was pretty much it, we were approved and got the passport (and a mysterious sealed envelope) back in the mail two days later. Everyone was nice at the consulate, it was basically just a trip to the DMV but less rude and shorter lines.

Thanks for all the help and support at VJ, searching the forums answered most of our questions before we even needed to ask.
