Oh no! I hope you can get the police report quickly and get this sorted out. :(

Me too! He's calling Belgium first thing in the morning and the consulate after. They didn't really explain much to him about anything except that he NEEDS that form. Everything else was perfect. I hope he doesn't have to pay for a second interview? :unsure:

oh, and they asked a little bit about our age difference... specifically whether MY mom was okay with him being 17 years older than me, lol. Ummm, she is a cosponsor, I assume she'd be okay with it! :bonk:

No! They didn't actually. They mentioned another meeting to drop off the passport and paperwork and I think they said he has to schedule it. I dunno, either he was so upset he didn't listen, or they didn't specify. Sucks that we are stuck waiting until tomorrow to find info :( it's driving us crazy NOW! lol
