APPROVED!!! It was a long wait and journey at the embassy, but visa is approved and should be delivered within a week! Thanks so much for everyone's support and help. I'll post a review later. So excited!

BIG BIG CONGRATS TO YOU

At least it is done!

yeap..

We applied for a K1 first and when my hubby went, he passed out cold and they gave him IVs last summer! :rofl: He is so happy he doesn't have to go thru that part again!

But we have a funny memory and I will never forget the text that said simply I wake up now!

before they start doing the Lab part I say to the Nurse that I have a background of passing out hehehe and she said from today that will be over and she was speaking to me about the city where I live and the beach and then she said ok you are done ..you see...you did not feel anything...heheheh//but the vaccines part were jesusss those nurse did not even said a word..I just sit and they were like 1 2 3 get out....

best of luck!!!! i'm also off to India this PM and will be getting there wed early AM. my wife's getting there the same time and then we're gonna go knock this interview out on thursday. as i said before, i think we'll all do just fine. i dont think we would have gotten this far if the USCIS/NVC didnt think we're legit and saw any red flags. So just remember guys - they just wanna have a convo with you. perfectly normal for them to wanna know who's entering the country; so let's make it ez for them!

We WILL all overcome and succeed!

Goodluck for the interview. Hope you will be back with your wife soon in the US good.gif

Kari - Good luck on your interview!! Wake him up now:P Hope everything goes well for both of you:)

Only 9 more hours for us. Husby's sleeping now. I'll call and wake him up in 5 hours. Yesterday he asked me how to get to the embassy from the train station. Child! You don't know yet?! So I went to find him a map. Turns out he was teasing me. That boy.... I swear he's trying to make me :wacko:.

Holy Jeebus, SJ! I think you've got it down.

Hobo, safe travels.

Good luck to Week Two!

By now, Husby is probably giving his evidence to the screening lady. Good thoughts. Good thoughts. We practiced the questions and he's got it all down perfectly. Yay! Thank you all for the good thoughts. You guys are the ones keeping me from pacing.

Aday, we're rockin' it today.

Still no news. They'll be breaking for lunch in a few minutes. Hopefully at least a little update then.

I'm scared. They usually call the easy cases first and save the "suspicious" ones for last. :girlwerewolf2xn:
