dear my fellow vjers,

My wife had her visa interview yesterday and good news she got approved!!!! I don't think it has settled in with me yet I don't know what to think. I am very happy that I am that much closer to having her in my arms once again.

She arrived early as required by the embassy. They asked her the standard questions whats your husband's name?, where does he work? where are you going? How did you meet?. After the interview was done the interviewer( a lady) took her passport and told her that she will receive the visa after two weeks. She was quite nervous about the interview as she did not know what to expect but it turns out she thought it was easy. We discussed questions they will ask her a couple days before the interview in which helped her prepare for when they ask her those same questions.

I wish everyone the same that is going to have or will have an interview scheduled. I was waiting forever for this day and it finally came alhumduallah. I hope everyone has a great Ramadan.

Monalisa don't worry I know you will do great in your interview! Make sure you and your husband discuss the questions they will ask you in the interview and you should be just fine inshallah. Rabna ma3ky ya Mona.

Congratulations, she made it in her interview! :D

I have a question, since your consulate is at middle east, Im currently in Kuwait, how long did you wait for your case#? I know yours is K3 and I am K1, just to have a preference and comparison... thanks!!!
