Congratulations! When you say "it was a breeze" what does this mean? How long was the interview? What questions were asked?

My husband has his interview in London on Tuesday and he and I are feeling very nervous.

I was there with my husband so I can tell you what happened. The appointment time was for 8am. We got there at 7am and were the third ones in line. We were taken through security at about 7:30. Our number was I-901 which was the first immigrant visa number. The first numbers were called at 8am and we were in that group. We went to a window where my husband's fingerprints were taken and they gave us his chest x-ray on CD to bring to the US. They asked us for our marriage certificate, his birth certificate, his police certificate, my i-864, my evidence concerning reestablishing US domicile, my 2010 tax return, my dad's i-864 (he is a joint sponsor since I will not have continuing income from my existing work), his 2010 tax return, a copy of my dad's passport photo page, and my husband's US-size visa photos. We then paid for the visa and went back to the same window with the receipt. We were given a form to fill out for the courier.

About 45 minutes later we were called to the interview window. My husband was asked how we met, when we got married, and what he planned on doing in the US, and what I planned on doing in the US-- I only think she asked me because I was there. It took about 3 minutes. We then paid for the courier and his visa will be here in 7-10 working days. We were out of the embassy at 8:55.

As long as you have correctly filled out all of your paperwork and have everything you need you will not have a problem. My husband was extremely nervous, too!

OK, this is great! Thanks--i'm going to copy and paste this reply in an email to him. He's staying in a hotel right next to the consulate, so i'll make sure he reports nice and early tomorrow AM. His appointment is at 9AM.
