Well, we had our interview on 28th May, and it was a simple, painless process - submitted all docs, only needed about 50% of what we'd brought with us (no extra tax years, and only a few bank statements).

When we went to the interview window, we were questioned about how we met, and after about a minute of this, we were approved - everyone working there was SO nice, and it was a huge contrast to my wife's experiences with the UK Border Agency and their endless, painful, and rude system.

Sadly, as we were about to celebrate with a movie-style dip and kiss, there was a massive security alert, but neither that, nor Sex and the City 2 later that day, could put a damper on ending such a huge process.

Now just jobs, flights, moving, pets, and NYC apartment hunting to go!
