APPROVED!

We got to the Consulate at about 6:05 (stayed at Hotel Dauphin). We were second in line. The couple in front of us had the two CUTEST little girls, and I swear the older one kept my sanity. We went through security, then headed down the stairs (I almost fell down them, to be honest), and then sat at the elevator and waited. We got upstairs around 8 or so. We were called first, so he went to turn in all the paperwork and pay his fee, then he came back. During the time between that and the actual interview, the little girl I mentioned above started counting while her dad walked around carrying her. He walked down the hallway where the interview rooms are and all of a sudden we hear "100!!!" and when he brought her back out she was giggling and said "I counted to 100!" Haha. So adorable. On a personal note: it was "well behaved children" day at the consulate. Only one little girl was crying, but that didn't last very long.

Our interviewer was really nice; asked us all the basic questions: When did you meet and where? When did you meet in real life? Then she asked us both what we do, and asked a little bit about what type of photography I want to get into, and then she welcomed him to the US, and I swear the room nearly imploded with the stress relief, LOL.

We were out of the consulate by roughly 9:15.

Thank you so much everyone!! I can't even begin to explain how happy I am right now. :) I wish you all a wonderful day, and to those who have interviews this week, GOOD LUCK! :D

Hopefully your fiance's visa will be in hand next week (although Monday is Victoria Day so I guess that will slow down the mail). When does your fiance' plan to move?

Yippeee!! All that worrying and stress done with!

Now you get to worry and stress about the important things in life... like WEDDING PLANS!!! :):dancing:

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
