Interview today!!!

[Matt&Deb 2]

Matt's interview was today in London. He was scheduled for 8:30. He didn't sleep the night before and I didn't sleep all night knowing he was in route and going through it all on his own. We both have tried really hard to stay positive, however one thing I NEVER mentioned was the facet that he is in the process of dealing with a minor run in with the police that happened in the US last September. We have been so nervous and done all the research, as well as work as diligently as possible to satisfy the issue. Our fear has been that there isn't really any research you can do to tell you what we would be up against in the interview process..... We did decide however that the truth would be our best bet and that having ALL supporting evidence would at least show those truths.

After a two hour wait he was finally called to the 1st window where she took all his documents. Then sent back to sit again and he heard his number called, but it never appeared on the screen so luckily he was listening. They asked ONE question about our relationship, "when are you planning to be married?" The rest of the time was spend going over all of the legal documents and many questions. The man before him that he had been sitting next to had been denied so his confidence was low at this point and he was trying to figure out what to say to me if he were denied. But that man before him was lacking many of the required documents. So FINALLY after all the paperwork had been reviewed the CO said "well, ok you've got it." WHEW!!!

In the end I think if you are honest and have all the documents required to back up any situation you may be facing they will let you get on with your life. We are both so thankful.... It seems surreal after all this time and all the worry.... It's worry enough with-out a legal issue to over come.... I share this piece of our story incase there is anyone else with any minor criminal issues. Deal with them and have all the documents to support it and above all be honest.

Thank you for all the support and stories. It has been most helpful. Next we get married and start the AOS

Congrats Matt and Deb. I also had my interview today and was approved. I worrired though then the consular officer said it will take 2weeks. I got scared maybe it is in administrative processing, do you how long they told Matt it will take? A bit worried.

They told him 7 to 10 business days which more or less could be two weeks.... It looks like based on past London interviews it will be roughly 5 days. Yeah! you made it.

We're at 9 days with early delivery and NADA. I think they are on vacation. Some from last week had them in 3-4 days. I would not expect it before two weeks.

When Jock had his interview they said anywhere from 5-8 days, granted he got very lucky but if it is over 8 days I would call DOS and ask if a visa has been produced. Try to find out what the hold up is. They are open till midnight EST so call now even. Let us know what happens please
