Timeline

We got there around 6:00am; there were plenty of people at that time. We got on line #1 but the embassy coordinators put us on #3. They let us in at 6:55am and send us to station #40 where we were given a green folder with instructions on how to organize all needed ducuments. Since it was a CR-1 visa most of the documents they had already but we included my wife's pictures (2), passport, Das certificate and Das letter shown exits from country and return. They call my wife on window #29 arount 9:30am to turned in the folder, to verify that all documents were ok and to give us all documents not needed (everything that we sent to USCIS that we were told that NVC didn't have). After a long waiting and seeing most people getting denied they call my wife around 2:10pm for interview on window #3. Nice white gentleman stated asking for pictures of when we were dating and wedding, then he told my wife that I had to go and seat, then he stated asking her questions like how we met, where do I live, when we met for the first time, how many time I have visited her and more.

After that he told her that he needed to ask me some questions. Fisrt he ask me "Are you aware that your wife is pregnant? I said yes! How sure you are that it is yours? "I'm sure about it" I replied, and then he stated making other questions like how we met? where you married before? how many children do you have? What do you do for living? And he ask so many questions about my job since he used to do the same king of job before he said. After questions and more questions he said the magic words "WE WILL ISSUE A VISA FOR YOUR WIFE" I felt like he took 50 pounds away from me, I thank him not knowing how to react, I felt like crying, smiling, screaming, It was a joyful moment that you dream about it but when it finally comes you have no idea of what to do.

After thank him I just turned around went straight to my wife, hug her and gave her a big kiss then I told her "Mi amor, we got approved" This was one of the happiest days of my life.

I can Thank you enough guys for all your help; now my wife is finally coming home August 5th after and our baby will be borne in USA, Thank you again, your friend;
