For those of you who have read my previous posts and know what was going on, we went back for the second time and after a lengthy conversation with the Supervisory Consular Officer, she approved us!!! There was a misunderstanding the first interview between my fiance and the Officer who interviewed him. Which, due to the language barrier, the officer thought he had no more evidence when in fact he had plenty, just not with him. So, we acted fast, called their offices a million times, got an appointment for them to "review" the case and I ended up being able to speak to the Supervisory Consular Officer and she ended up interviewing me instead of my fiance for almost an hour! So, her response to my 100 photos and over 2,000 printed e-mails was "God is on your side today, you can come by tomorrow and pick up your visa"........ and gave my fiance the thumbs up behind the window!!!!! I sincerely believe that it was because I was there and took control of the situation. I feel that because my fiance was alone the first time around, he was vulnerable.... and therefore it created a mess for us...... my suggestions, be there for your fiance...... it can make a total difference!!!!!!!

So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you for your guidance, suggestions and experiences.... we have passed the most important step in this long process........ God Bless You All! Best of luck to those still on the way to eternal happiness!!!!!!
