I just had my interview yesterday and it seemed to be fine. ^_^

Here's my story. The Indian prescreener took my fingerprints, my passport, medical results, & our photos together. Ask few questions like, who petitioned me, the date of our marriage, where she lives, who are in the photos, where was the photo taken, what is my job here, how much is my salary. Then he asked me to go back to seat and wait for the CO to call me.

After about an hour an a half, the CO called my name. He verified my fingerprints, then ask me to sign under oath the part II of the DS-230. Then he started to ask me questions like, what is my wife's name, how old is she, where she lives, how long have she been there, what is her job, how did she get to the US, if she has any relatives in the US. :reading: He also ask me what is my job here, if what job am i going to take once I get to the US, if i applied for any job in the US already, if I have any relatives in US. He also asked how did we meet, when did we get married, how long we've been staying together, when was the last time we're together, do we have any children, or been married before.

So far that were the questions I can remember that the consul asked me. It took us about 10 minutes in the interview. He finally asked, if my visa will be approved when am I planning to go to the US? After that he took a purple card with a serial no. & a text "pickup passport date" then he stamped the date January 30, 2010. Then he told me to go back to seat & wait for my name to be called. After a minute, the prescreener called my name, give me the purple slip then asked me to go to fedex and return back the air waybill.

Not like the other vj'ers, I never heard the magic word, "Congratulations!" or "approved" from the consul. Then when I returned back the air waybill, I asked the prescreener if I'm approved. He just said "Yes!". ..then I went home.

That's all I can share for now. I am hoping that my visa will be delivered very soon. I just can't wait to be with my ONE GREAT LOVE!

Goodluck to all those with upcoming interviews! Just keep praying...and it will all turn out fine. :thumbs:

I just had my interview yesterday and it seemed to be fine. ^_^

Then he asked me to go back to seat and wait for the CO to call me.
