Congratulations!

So you can be more prepared, they also told us 2 weeks in the consulate. We begged to have it rushed as fast as possible, and I believe it did go faster for us than normal.. but it still took 9 days after the interview to get the visa in the mail! We waited to book a flight until we got it and were able to leave the next day (after more than an hour on the phone with American Airlines!).

So, I would plan for it to come in 10 days or so.

Good luck!

Congrats! You must be SO excited!!! I'm interested to hear how the interview was?! We're still waiting for a date...

The interview was very basic actually. No seriously detailed questions, she had adequate proof of relationship, (printed Cell phone bills, pics, e-mails etc) and I think that pretty much helped answer all the questions they had. Most of it was a reaffirmation of the POR. Of course that was our interview, it seems from what I have read on here that everyone seems to have a different experience. Our experience, journey, and end result was exactly what we planned for and expected, everything was very straightforward. Just don't be nervous and all will be well. If you've been approved for the interview then the majority of your problems are over. According to the NVC when I called them to check on our interview process, Roxana had already been deemed 100% eligible for the VISA and all paperwork was 100% approved we were just waiting for the interview date. The interview is a confirmation meeting as much as anything else to prove the the applicant is who they say they are and that the identifications are verified. It is also a chance for the consular officer to meet with you and determine that you are for real and that your relationship is for real. If all of that is completed then you have no worries. :) Hope this helps, Good Luck on Monday, if DHL tells you 3 to 5 days for your VISA to be delivered that's accurate, Roxana's was delivered to her yesterday morning. 5 Days from the interview.

Regards,

Compdoc

10 business days?

Or just 10 days.

I booked my flight 11 days after my interview...which is in 3 weeks

Im wondering if that was a bad idea

Congratulations!
