Hi all....Just wanted to report that Nigel came here last Thursday and breezed through immigration with no problem at all. I know this doesn't mean it's the case for everyone but I wanted to let you know it wasn't the ordeal I was terrified it would be. The officer asked Nigel what he was here for and he told him to see his fiance and that was it. No problems or questions. I was so nervous after reading posts from others but Nigel had no problems so hopefully the people who get denied are in the minority rather than the majority. I'm not sure if he'll chance it again seeing as we're hoping for an interview date in May but we'll see.
