I arrived at the Embassy shortly after 9.00 this morning and about an half an hour later I was called to the interview. I was interviewed by a guy called Ronald and I must say he´s a really nice guy and shortly after we started I was at ease.

He asked me about how Rebecca and I met, where and when so I told him our story to which he replied that it was always fun to hear a good story. Then he went through our evidence of a relationship. I printed out 10 pictures some of which were from my causin´s wedding party one of them was the only one he asked about.

Next thing was that he paged through emails but didn´t really read any of them then he said that pictures carried a lot of weight. Then he said I was approved and would get the Visa in a few days. Since I have a flight on Wednesday I asked him if I should delay my departure to which he replied that they would have to have a printer problem for me to do that and to call them tomorrow afternoon if I hadn´t heard from them by then.

So everything looks like I´ll be flying over Wednesday :dance::dance::dance:

Thank you Visa Journey, there´s no doubt that this wouldn´t have gone so smoothly if it wasn´t for your help.

I guess it kind of was since I also talked to Ronald when I got my travel visa last year
