taking the oats i mentioned my names during the oats unlike other people then she showed me my form and asked the following questions.

1)asked are you olaniyan oluwadamilola and i said yes

2)when did your wife travelled.

3)why didnt you go with her.

4)where does she works

5)do we have children

6)she said have applied for visiting visa on 2 occasion to visit her and i quickly corrected her and said yes i applied twice.the first one was to visit my aunty and the second one was to visit my wife during her birthday and she said ok fine

7)asked me why do i want to join my wife, i said its important for me to be with my family after been apart for years and she laughed and said my medical and my marriage is genuine and am eligible for the immigrant visa.i said thanks to her and asked me to wait while she print my collection instruction papers.she brought the paper and showed me where to pick it up in 5 days and the amount i need to take along with my and i said thanks but after collecting the paper she did not say what i expected and i asked her that i was expecting to hear the magic words for eligible applicants and she was lost about it and i quickly reminded her by saying WELCOME TO AMERICA she burst into laughter and eventually said it and i said thank you and have a good day while other applicants were laughing .the interview did not last for 3mins and the lady was just too friendly.despite all my evidences she never ask for any.GOD IS GOOD.

i buildup my confidence inside the embassy and it worked.

my advise is that be free and do your homework before the interview and GOD will take control
