Interview was Tuesday 8th in Paris.

I will fill the interview report in my timeline.

A beautiful September day in Paris.

Interview was straight.

Consul said: you are done.

I had given a enveloppe for sending back the passport

apparently did not write down the correct tracking number

and would not see updates on the web

Then surprise in my mail box yesterday Friday

just before picking my son from school (his first full day at preschool)

saw info that enveloppe was at postoffice :dance: ?

we went to pick it together

I was careful not to open the brown enveloppe

Passport was there :dance::dance: :dance: :dance:

with Visa to be endorsed before March 2010.

Called husband to tell and relieve him.

going to buy tickets for a holiday trip first then possibly immigration in November

need to close with my work here first.

Thank you enraptured.

It is good to prepare well for interview.

Proof of relationship, papers they typically want fresh or original, back up for what they are already supposed to have etc...

Good luck for your interview.

congratulations and good luck!
