Post-interview fears (Paris) [edited title]

Thank you for posting your experience as my fiancee will be going through the same in a couple of months. Nice to know someone else's experience. The Paris embassy is pretty straightforward from what I can tell.

Thanks to all who try to make me feel better ! Bruno, you're always very reliable. I have a tendency to panic afterwards and it's not easy feeling relaxed when the stakes are so high.

You're welcome, Kevin. I wish I could post the rest of my experience in the consulate review section but I can't find who to edit my post (shame)

I had my K-1 interview in Paris France last Thursday.

I was ready (a big and well organized binder !) but very stressed since it's something so important. Anyway, long story short, Madame Le Consul didn't want to see any proof of relationship and never said the words "you are approved". All she said was something like "the papers seem to be fine" and then "so we should be able to process the visa in 7 to 10 days". Things are, I don't like this "should" and I'm freaking out. I keep doubting myself about signing everything, about giving enough and I keep doubting them : what if they forgot something ? I remember they never asked me to sign any of the attached additional sheets I enclosed for the I-157 (the one that does not require a signature, but still, I'm worried). Of course, all this only came to my mind after I was out of the embassy. The process was so fast (I was out by 2:25) that I feel like it was an out of body experience and that I don't remember much. Do they systematically give you a color slip if you're not approved ? Why don't they say it, just to cover their butts in case they change their minds ? And I forgot to write down the envelope's tracking number so I'm back in the horrible waiting-and-watching the mailbox period. Please VJers, help me find some peace and sleep !

I am sure they kept your passport right? in that case, like the rest already stated, time to celebrate.
