Got a PINK Slip today (A good one from the Embassy),,, 132 days... For a CR1...

We got to the embassy at 7:10AM, we got our number around 7:15am. (Interview schedule was 8:30am).

7:30am , She was called for finger scanning.

She was pre-screened first about 8:00am. Questions asked were: (1) Her Name; (2) Her DOB; (3) How we came to know each other; (4) His first visit; (5) Date of Marriage; (6) His Previous Marriage(s) (7) When he arrived for this visit (8) asked for our marriage PICs (9) Commented about our marriage being done during our first meeting. (10) Asked for other PICs and W2. We gave her other PICs (she asked if we had PIC of wife signing marriage cert. We didn't just husband. She was shown our copy of I-864 which had W2 for 2008. she then found that paper in her file) The interviewer said,,, ok. She was asked to sign the Part 2 of DS230. No additional papers requested. Then we were asked to sit down. Took about 10 minutes

Our number was up for final interview at 10:30am went inside about 10:40am

Consul was young and he was all business. I carried in the paperwork and asked Consul if he would like me to stay or leave. He aked if I was the husband. I said, "Yes" and her told me to have a seat. He asked her, DOB, Name, If she have been outside the countryand if she had a previous child She said 'No'. And, then I got all of the questions,, About my past marriage and if children, etc. Nothing about bonafide marriage. He gave back the PICs we gave the 1st interviewer and said, Visa Approved.

We asked if we could pick up the visa, he said "They only allow delivery via Air21". He said it will be delived within the week or early next week.

Went to releasing window 37, the girl gave me a pink slip. And we asked for pick up, she said "Only Air21".

Paid for the Air21 courier service (to hotel in Manila 205p). Left Embassy at 11am.

Congratulations! Wow, your whole process was so fast! You're soooo lucky!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!
