:dance: :dance: :dance:

... and i was such a scary.... i was sooo worried.. and it was easyer then i ever thought!

but here my story, if u dont mind...:

the time my kids and i arrived finally at the embassy, we saw that they closed and fensed up the whole area around the embassy...! with alot of security gurads. on the entry was a long line waiting, but thanks god, i could show the security my interview letter where it was witten, dont wait on the line.. so another lady made the serucity checks, imagine, they lever allowed anybody to take any bags in! so i had to remove all my thousands of papers out of my suitcase, leave even my handbag and carry all like this! lucky my big son was with me, so i gave him all.. after they checked our passports and we had to walk through the x ray, we got a paper to bring to one of the counters and sit down with other peoples...we waited for about 30 min, then a lady called me to a counter, she took al my documents, like 156, 156k,medical, birth certificates, police reports, divorce decree, all original and a copie, ( got all originals back after) and the affidavit! imagine, they asked only for the form, not even for a single evidence, like letter of employer, pay stubs, tax return, letter intend to marry still....

so after i gave the lady all, signed the documents, i had to wait again.... that was making me mad, waiting in a small area, not allowed even to stand up ( security guy came always to check!!) then it was sooo hot, in top with my little daughter of 4,5.... so, after 1,5 h waiting, and a hungry stomac ( was awake since 6 and couldnt eat anything) i was finally called again to a counter at 11.30, to a real nice guy. i thought i must enter a special room, but no, all was done on the counter, i hardly understood him behind his glas, but i managed it! :blush: after asking again and again.. sorry?...

all the guy asked me was: soooo, u want to marry mr. ........and how u meet him? i sayed: online! last year in february.. he was still in iraq... he: oh, he is in the army?, and when u saw him first time? me: he came to swiss after iraq last year in september for 3 month during his vaccations, inbetween this time we went to kenya as well.. he: okey, and when did he asked u to marry him? me: oh, there there, in kenya! he: okey... and when u went to the usa? me: after his 3 month where over, i joined him for christmas and new year...he: okey....nice.. so, when u intend to go to the usa and get married? me: well, as soon i got the visa, i will give notice to the appartment owners and then i fly, and soon after we will get married!

that was it! i had not even to show evidence of relationship, nothing, zero, and i took so many emails, phone cards, bills, photos, ect... with me..

so he sayed, go to the other counter again to the lady. so i went there, she asked me if i want ot come agian to collect the visa or if they should send it! i was so confused, i asked him and her again, so, i got it? so all is fine? they yes, yes yes... lol.. so i sayed, better send it to me, its to far to collect it. she sayed, i will get it next week... YEAH! :dance:

but, i have to say, its better to take more then enought of proof with u, then not enough.. coz u never know what they ask u to show!

now i am soooo much released! to all of u guys out there who have their interviwes ahead soon:

IT IS NOT AS BAD AS U IMAGINE! ALL WILL GO WELL!

BEST LUCK TO ALL OF U! (F)
